***Around The League 2019-2020 Thread***

Ben Mclemore has been turned into an absolute deadeye sharpshooter. Bizzare.

Wait, you mean guys can improve after they've been in the league for more than 5 years? I've been told that's impossible...

The loss of the league's China-driven revenue has caused many front office executives to tell ESPN that they've been preparing for the possibility that the original 2020-2021 cap projection of $116 million could drop down as far as $113 million.

It might be interesting how it will affect us. Rosas has prioritized cap space in his moves:

1) Nowell and Reid deals
2) not resigning Tyus Jones
3) created some space/roster spot in Teague deal

After the deadline I hope to see a 1+3 deal for Kelan Martin

Teague finally takes down the Sixers!!!

He had the same shooting % 5 and 6 seasons ago. He's just shooting a lot more because he's on the Rockets.

Did he have a big game lately or something?

Winning, knowing how to win is a skill too. Great vets, personnel that fits a system, floro leadership, all of that goes into it. Works the other way too, losing like we do is special, it's something team learns. Starts with some bad/questionable losses here and there, then is spreads, like a plague. We saw the signs early in the season, those certain losses that had no explanation, that's how the ball gets rolling.

Have shooters will travel. Have no shooters get busy swimming. Said it all offseason nobody should have been brought in that can't shoot at high level already.

Clarkson goes to Utah and all the sudden he's unstoppable. Hitting 7 three's. Rich teams always seem to get richer/lucky.

great game, Jokic going right at Gobert

Seems to be the one "big" that can do it offensively in grind-it-out half court 4th qtr

Missing 3 guys who would probably be 2nd best player on Wolves, totally impressive

He was banging down threes at Cleveland as well and has always had a healthy scoring average over his career

Trade for Buddy!!!!!

I should admit that I have been throwing our 2020 SRP in many trades ideas without much thinking. Probably I should stop doing it, since 35 pick is a great asset, especially if Rosas can turn it into a decent young player on 1+3 deal. 1+3 deal is particularly important because you can negotiate deals for SRP, which Rosas already did with Nowell and Reid.

P.S. Only 1mil dip

Solid shooters currently projected in the late 1st/early 2nd, such as Joe, Nesmith, Nwora.

It's a crying shame that in this super down year for the Western conference, at the halfway point of the season the wolves are 1 of 2 teams that can pretty much say they are out of the playoff hunt. Ridiculous when you think about it that the Grizzlies, Kings, Pelicans, Blazers, who were putrid, Suns etc are all better teams than us.

full quote wasn't as aggressive, but good for Brooks

Russell’s name won’t go away in trade talks any time soon. The Knicks are also in pursuit of him, as The Athletic’s Shams Charania and Jon Krawczynski reported.

I want to see Russell being traded to NYK.

I don't have a clue why Miami would trade for Iggy than pay him $30 million for 2 years.

[KGdaBom]

The once highly valued Justise Winslow included in the Iggy trade.

Sounds like Wolves & GSW still haggling over picks

When you hear this. Report was that talks were broken off.

Like an hour ago ... the Ringer ... MN thinks GSW price will come down, and so far, MN will not budge on unprotected pick. Game of chicken

That's crazy. Griz got a nice deal there IMO
