ATL - Ham Slamwich to the Lakers

Towns is fine. Edwards is only 20. McDaniels, Vanderbilt, Bolmaro, McLaughlin, Nowell, etc are coming to take your souls. Whew roster is loaded with young as hell talent

Minnesota's silver lining is that Edwards is probably gonna be a legit franchise guy, so that makes the inevitable Towns contract easier to stomach. But I'm not sure what Phoenix does once Paul's finally cooked. Building around a super-maxed Devin Booker and a couple good-but-not great guys in Bridges and Cam Johnson? Ayton looks like he's already got one foot out the door, and with Sarver being a known cheapskate, that fanbase has to be in Defcon-5 right now just 10 months after looking like they were gonna be legit championship contenders for the next half decade.

Yeah I’m really curious to see what goes down with Phoenix these next couple offseasons. Sounds like they might be able to get good value for Austin at least; not sure of the source but I saw some report that Indiana for example is willing to trade the #6 pick for Ayton. If they ultimately get something like that while losing him, that’s obviously a good result compared to just losing him for nothing.

I’m definitely skeptical that they’ll be a contender once CP3 fades but you never know.

I live in Phoenix and I think the number 1 thing on everyone's mind is what happens with the Sarver investigation. Some rumors that him and the league are working on a quite exit after the season. He just did that with the bank he basically founded. If he's gone everyone will rejoice. If he stays well that's sucks and it's the ever present black cloud.

Ayton is very polarizing, has been since half the fan base wanted Luka.

Suns fans in general expect bad things to happen and Sarver to **** things up. It's a can't have nice things fanbase. Very much like pre championship Bucks fans.

Jimmy Butler must be more hurt than he’s letting on, right?

He kinda seems like he’s given up.

Man, I love watching PJ Tucker play. He has no business being relevant in the NBA anymore, but he just works so damn hard out there. Good things happen when he’s on the court.

Careful, you'll get quoted the first time he turns it over or fouls somebody.

Jaylen Brown is worse at dribbling than Middleton.

Dipo is killing Miami's offense. Dude's out there contract hunting in the ECF.

Heat look like we did- every single basket is a struggle.

Killing their offense implies they HAD an offense.

Miami has so much less talent than Boston. But they’re well coached and they play hard. Boston should be blowing them out, but they’re so undisciplined.

Miami with a real superstar would be unstoppable.

If Tatum could sort his finishing he would be near unstoppable, probably his last real weakness after getting his playmaking up. I think his percentages are decent but he blows som many slightly contested layups.

Butler does not look very engaged

Miami finding a way to win this game and series would be ugh.

Heat have to pay Lowry $59 million over the next 2 seasons. :lol:

Tatum acts like the most entitled player in the league

Got caught breaking rules after bitching about Bogdan to do it too.

They’re taking Strus into lockerroom, presumably to put him out of his misery

It's a bummer for sure. Even if they lost in the Finals, Bucks vs Warriors would have been awesome.
