Sure, he is a good player. His contract will be one of the reason PHI will blow up this or next offseason.

Harris contract is horrible he is payed like a superstar when he is just good.

I was just listening on the radio as they tried to examine why Harris is playing so poorly. One guy suggested maybe it was just age catching him already, suggesting what he is seeing is typical of fall off seen when it occurs. He couldn't explain what he was doing wrong otherwise.

Is he playing so poorly? I don't follow the 76ers much, but his stats look pretty okay considering his role and he also played well against us if I recall correctly.

OMG that is tragic.

He is paid like Kawhi, but he plays like Tobias Harris

i don't know. You tell me why Sirius XM NBA radio was saying so and discussing it for a half hour. Maybe they were talking about someone else before I started listening and his name just kept coming up while I was listening. I could have swore they were talking about him.

Grizzlies and Pelicans got ALOT of young talent. Also, Ingram>Wiggins

Ingram plays for his baby max.

To be honest I still don't understand what happened with Kris Dunn and MIN. He was a perfect rookie for Thibs, Tom drafted him, excellent physical tools, great defense, slasher, PnR player... He has had some weird injuries, but still... I hope he will find himself in NBA one day.

Got to get that wing/guard who can be a dynamic go-to scorer. That is so important to the game today. Russell is a huge step up in that regard but I would love to have a SF who can do it. Maybe Culver will turn into that but I would still be taking shots to find one in this draft.

Didnt take any special scouting at all MPJ fell right in their lap. MPJ would have been a timberwolf right now if it wasn’t for a Jokic missed chippie. Hope the fans enjoyed the first round series blowout against rockets because it cost the Wolves MPJ!

Great physical tools...

The incorrect top focus of most of Timberwolves picks

Like they would have drafted him. yeah right

If they didn't make the playoffs all we would still be hearing is 16 or 17 years without playoffs, players would be calling their representation saying whatever you do, not there. (evenmore then usual) But I was sick of hearing about it. I'm sure the team was. Kat and others have to start getting playoff experience. They aren't going to win a draft one year and then go straight to the finals and win anything with a team with no experience.

Rubio, btw, scored 20 (second highest score for Suns) in a win over the Mavericks in which Luka and Porzingus combined for 70 alone.
Rubio shot 2 of 3 from 3pt land, 9 boards, only 7 dimes, shooting 41% on the day. That's a huge showing from him.

I remember suggesting the Suns leapfrogged the Wolves by a huge margin last offseason having Rubio and then Cameron Johnson were drafted. They started the season looking strong, then fell off. But they are looking tough right now in the Bubble. Booker had 30. Johnson 19.

That sure sounds like Avdija. I'm still hoping for, but not expecting OK.

And it saved us from having a 16 year playoff drought and counting.
I never approve of tanking.
