    I like stars. As John Ireland so passionately said, "it's a star drive f***** town..."

    Going to see what happens tonight and remain quiet during the summer.

    Big one coming up for Rob with some assets in hand.

    Be responsible

    they're going to exploit the fact that you don't have a pg? like how gs did to boston in the finals shortly before you said this?

    Non contact injury for Porzingis, likely not good

    I'd rather them lose straight up. Hate injuries like this.

    Looked a bit like it could be an achilles, though it wasn’t much of a push off. If not that the calf muscle though? And so it keeps on with the past couple weeks of play … the whim of the injury gods coming back to attack injury prone players.

    Just finished watching the Wolves close out game from last night.
    Antman will be the best player in the NBA in a couple of seasons. He has zero weaknesses in his game.

    Don't f*** around. If I'm to believe the resident "insider" here, Rob wants a guy that has been proven and coached before, right? Go convince Atkinson to come over. Coached in Brooklyn, been an assistant under one of the best coaches in the league in Kerr, go get him.

    If were star hunting right now: 1.) Mitchell 2.) Trae. Trae could work offensively. His game has warts, but he'll work. Mitchell hasn't been great in the Cleveland series. Good pick in roll ball handler, three-level scoring ability.

    Let's see who else shakes loose.

    We better be targeting a center. AD needs more support down there. I don't mind Jaxson Hayes as a 3rd string energy guy but he's a walking moving screen. Plus he's too small for the bigger centers.

    Grab a mediocre center even like Biyombo at the trade deadline over Spencer and we would be playing Sota.

    I have no pb with the others Bron-AD seasons as Lakers but this one feels like a significant waste .

    Coming into the season FO knew we probably would have to face Denver again and absolutely DID nothing about it .

    This is the only series we should play Bron and AD as SF and PF some minutes .

    The 2020 and 2023 series showed you that , even more since the Gordon acquisition .

    f*** OUR GUARDS OBSESSION

    Yeah. I’d prioritize size.

    but I would Also look for a defensive minded guard.

    Dinwiddie played some nice D for us, and Gabe wasn’t terrible. Those two are not a bad start.

    I think Gabe may go in a trade. My thoughts on him and Spencer really depend on what we do with our coaching situation

    I think the Denver series shows we are not winning with a PG that is a black hole defensively, unless we are trading AR for a defense first SG.

    I don't watch Trae every night, admittedly. I have been doing some digging on his game. I think we could do better and I also think we could do worse.

    Let's see how the rest of the postseason shakes out.
