Rubio and Oubre!


I would love Oubre and Gallo but we just don’t have that much salary to send out.

Well, a sprained ankle or torn ACL are a different kind of not good.

Honestly?

He's substantially more athletic. He's got a better floater.

That's about it.

I like how ESPN has all their draft gurus now floating Haliburton at #4 now, he and a bunch of the better players of this draft are getting some late buzz. Buzz in the last three days. How utterly sickoning that it took them that long. One ESPN draftnik says Haliburton has the best game IQ and was his best interview ever and will be a 15 year NBA player, causing the others there to all agree and go off on how good he's going to be, even Mike Schmitz doing his normal over the top descriptions saying "nobody in the world would ever say a bad thing about him!" Haha. In the whole wold Mike? Then he says Ball is the #1 again afterwards.

S. Bey probably doesn't get near 17 even if Wolves keep it. Same with a few others people liked here.

Despite his shooting problems in a very small sample size in the NBL, he’s infinitely better as a scorer than Rubio.

OKC has one half, Pelicans might have the other half.

Infinitely? Ok Mike Schmitz, reel it in a bit.

Watch non-highlight videos and you'd be amazed how similar they actually are in this area.

If we don't trade for Simmons, Gordon or draft a PF. Any chance we take a chance on Randle? $18,900,000 this yr and only 4 mil guaranteed nxt yr..sth like future top 10 protected and JJ for Randle. I'd like to see Randle and Dlo reunited. They had a connection with the PnR. And Randle has increased his range and he can do everything i guess besides defend at a high level. but his D is avg. Here he's not forced to be the 1st option..scoring will come natural for him with Dlo and Towns creating for him as well. Can see him avg 18 and 10 with us.
