    81 games is huge. he got nicked up here. starting to seriously consider that it's an la problem, not a player problem. watch lonzo and BI go iron man from here on out.

    very curious to see how russ fits in with gs. i think their d is going to suffer swapping him out for klay, but he can do some things to take curry off the ball and help them play offense effectively--but differently than they have.

    Was really looking forward to seeing him mesh with Steph. I think the shooting of GS and the defense of Green were going to be great influences on Russ. Instead, they're one of the worst defenses in the league, and everyone's hurt.

    On the other hand, he'll have a chance to work on shouldering the burden on a team in the West.
    He's up to 19-6.4-3.6, which is getting closer to my projections: 22.3 PPG, 6.1 APG, 3.8 RPG

    he went to GSW purely for the $, he did not think about the actual fit. This gsw era might end up hurting his career going forward

    i think he saw a chance to put up numbers on a winner in addition to the green. i got it from his end. and i understood it from theirs: getting anything at all, much less a borderline allstar, in return for KD was huge. imagine if they hadn't...

    DAR on the Wolves right now would be very interesting right now. They need another playmaker/scorer besides KAT right now. Teague is more of a set up guy, Wiggins is a scorer off the bench, Covington is really good wing defender...

    wiggins as a scorer off the bench in a small market is...rough.

    wolves had no offer, they needed to unload wiggins or more big salary to do so....at that pt they had no plans, just good faith that they "could" find ways to open up space and as Dudley put it, dlo wouldve gone to anyone who offered max

    What's your evidence? What if one team offered less but was a better team or had a better role for him to play? I love speculating as much as the next person, but I let people how when I'm speculating. I don't pretend I know.

    whats my evidence that minn didnt have cap space? its on paper...as for the going for the $ isnt your statement backing up my pt? maybe there were teams who were better fit but didnt want to give him max, so he took the max offer instead n dudley really made those comments bout dlo signing anywhere as long as it was max, something along the lines of he'd go play on the moon if it meant getting max or some weird location like that
