The Draft Lottery being fixed?!?!?!
No way! It’s so transparent and out in the open- showing us all how it works!
Oh………..wait………………………………..
Nevermind

 

Thanks!! OK that makes a lot of sense then. Guess the word my neighbor’s gardener was hearing was wrong. Drops his average to around 70%.

 

Wow..just last summer, the Lakers 29 and 31 picks were supposedly viewed as hot commodities. Damn near pure gold.

 

Anybody here we might like? Drum Dawg on a minimum?

So with all the 3pt shooting ruling / ruining the league how can teams defend against that the best? Pray they miss? Some thoughts from top teams. And pretty much that.

last summer, we didn't have the 31 pick to offer. and yes, our unprotected picks in 29 and 31 are probably worth a lot. but other teams also have 29 and 31 unprotected picks to offer. it's up to the trading partner to decide which ones are likely to yield the best return.

i was thrilled we top-4 protected the 27 pick. that was a big win for me in those trade negotiations. i'll trade top-4 protected picks just like lebron wants me to, tbh. let it rain.

definitely would take him on a minimum. i'd offer him a shot at starting next to AD if he'd take it, too. i didn't like it last time because it came mid-season at the expense of a better starting center to whom we had already promised the role.

valanciunas (higher price) and bitazde (lower cost) also interest me on that list.

btw, wiseman is definitely a malik monk special candidate, imo. people have written him off, but he's talented and large.

 

Yeah Wiseman looks like a young and raw Admiral

 

Drum and Wiseman would be excellent moves, if Rob pulled that off. We might even keep some decent assets, if we landed Murray.

 

Conley is injured.Ant goes for 50 points and 15 assists.

 

I'm not sure that Haliburton, is this big deal he's made out to be. The Pacers could use D'Angelo...free Myles Turner!!

 

Gordon with 2 PF after 4 minutes.
Let's see what Porter and Murray will do

 

Who is Drum Dawg?

Porter, Murray and Gordon scored 13 points combined ,but Minnesota is missing a lot of easy shots

 

Minnesota is choking

 

Umm frankly the Lakers played the Twolves tougher. Edwards is great but the combo of AD/Lebron basically played even with Joker and Murray. Joker is killing the "DPOY".

f***ing Rui and Dlo no showing just blows. Really would have loved to see what Wood and Vando could have brought. AR was getting stronger each game and seemed to have figured out the Nuggets but bad luck (AD injury) and MPJ just killing Rui/Prince is making my head hurt looking back now. Being able to throw Wood or Vando both match up better against MPJ and would have fixed the rebounding issue (the only two things Wolves are doing better than the Lakers: rebounding, matching up with MPJ).

 

Conley injury completely destroyed Minnesota's game plan.
Well ..
If Denver repeat their fans will be more obnoxious than GSW if that's possible lol and their bandwagon will get a lot of Lakers haters as well
