He was trash here. I'm glad he's playing better but he wasn't the answer in Chicago.

It was bad all around. This team and his role were never right. Injuries and the losing culture ughhh both sides needed to be done with it. I am also glad for him but really can’t stand looking at him so I am so glad he is in Orlando. Yup I’m petty.

Boylen broke him, I'm glad he's found his footing. Also, I believe actually getting extended and being set for life helped him with his confidence.

Different pressure too. Magic fans and expectations are different than Chicago. The stage is better and he isn’t expected to be a franchise changer, just play his role. Plus he seems healthy finally.

Also, I just really like the new look with the glasses 8-)

To be fair, your screenname is "ImSlower".

He looks like a new 2K player with as many accessories as possible

I enjoy the fact that my middle school trivia team nickname, nearly thirty years later, is still relevant to both my terrible online gaming skills and also my inept identification of current players.

WCJ is shooting 43% on 4 attempts a game from deep.

Tomas Satoransky is averaging 2.5 PPG on 29% shooting in 10 games this year. This guy was starting last season.

To me it's incredible that Denver is still winning most of their games with just Jokic surrounded by Aaron Gordon, two guys that I though retired Jeff Green & Austin Rivers, and a bunch of guys I didn't know were in the NBA.

Wonderboy 37 cameo is coming, I can feel it.

As the yoots say, that is cringe.

LOL @ Stephen A. for thinking GSW WILL WIN 2 of the next 3 championships (maybe but SAS practically guarantee it) and he does not believe there is a team in the East that can beat GSW.

So guys, might as well stop the season because Stephen A. just crowned the Warriors as an impossible monster that CANNOT AND WILL NOT beaten. Sorry guys.

KAT was torching the suns yesterday and his teammates couldn't get him the ball in the clutch. You have to wonder when the wolves will decide to blow it up and trade KAT.

Plus Stacey crapped on him all season, too. Wendell was treated pretty badly in his final year here. I'm not surprised to see him step up his game, now that he's in a more positive atmosphere.

I'd think KAT makes that decision for them. Their offense showed real promise towards the end of last season, but it seems like thy've forgotten everything that was working since then. Edwards and Russell are allowed to do whatever they want...and that usually doesn't include KAT (or anyone else, really).

Anthony Edwards: 29% usage, 51% true shooting
D'Angelo Russell: 27% usage, 50% true shooting
Karl-Anthony Towns: 26% usage, 63% true shooting

The Wolves have an offensive superstar, two guys acting like they are offensive superstars who take the ball (and shots) away from said superstar and a bunch of role players who can't hit a shot. Kinda ironic they completely suck on offense now that they finally have a pretty solid defense.

They should have built a dwight howard magic team/ sixers right now. Shooters/defenders around KAT

Just think. If they would have not traded for Jimmy Butler and kept Wiggins and let him just be a beast on defense. Lavine, Wiggins, KAT, would have been a pretty reasonable core.
