    Edwards aka New MJ completely disappeared in 4 quarter and Jokic and Murray got easy win .
    Minnesota still could finish 1-st and their last game vs Phoenix

    oh I'm referring to our first rounder if we get to keep it.

    want to cater the sensitive James' family egos, etc

    Yeah. I think we are going to make move using that pick so this might not end up working like they hoped. I get their thinking though.

    I honestly don't mind Bronnie with a second rounder.

    I think his defense is actually good and my understanding is he is a hard worker.

    i just think 55th picks are generally ridiculous. you can find a player better in the udfa market, so if it makes lebron happy to say the kid was drafted, you're losing nothing, really, imo.

    Too bad he didn't live to see the real killers brought to justice. He must have been hot on their trail.

    If I'm NO, I definitely defer it.

    1) Bron and AD likely won't be this healthy next year.
    2) West will be stronger next year
    3) next year's draft class is supposed to be better

    So even if we're better next year. Say we're 5th in the West and a top 10 team in the league. A 20th pick next year vs a 14th pick this should be about the same and that's the worst case for them. Best case is one or both of our guys are hurt, Bron drops off, Ham is back, or the West just kicks the s*** out of us and they have a ping pong shot at Flagg. Bailey and Harper are supposed to be really good too in that class, not Flagg good but good.

    they'll extend him at max possible, and he'll demand a trade to ny just after the ink dries, imo. that's the new thing.
