2024-25 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Honestly though, a hypothetically healthy Isaac solves almost all of our problems. Just a defensive menace and a good lob threat that has shown he can hit the 3 on occasion.

------

I'm at the point where I really want to shake things up and get more athletic.

• Reaves (14m) & Gabe (11.5m) for Isaac (15m), Goga (8.3m) and a 1st
• Vando (11.6m), Shake (3m) & 2 firsts for Herb Jones (14m)
• Resign Lebron (46m) & DFS (13m) for longer deals at less per year
• NAW via the MLE

Luka (46m) / Goodwin (2.35m) / Bronny (1.95m)
NAW (14.1m) / Knecht (4m)
Herb Jones (14m) / DFS (13m) / Vet Min (2m)
Lebron (46m) / Rui (18.3m)
Goga (8.3m) / Isaac (15m) / Kleber (11m)

We add alot of size and athleticism in NAW (6'5), Herb (6'8), Isaac (6'11) and Goga (6'11).

We've got a really strong defender at every spot in Goodwin, NAW, Herb, DFS, Isaac & Goga. We've got some good shooting from Luka, NAW, Knecht, DFS, Rui, Lebron.

I think the biggest issue with this team is how many of these guys can become consistent 2 way players?

• Luka is transcendent on offence so he gets a pass on D.
• Goodwin is a hustle guy with defence but was his shooting just a fluke over 25 odd games for us?
• NAW is a good two way, that needs to shoot better in the playoffs.
• Knecht needs to develop on defence to go with his offensive potential.
• Is Herb Jones a credible 40% shooter like he showed last season or is he actually just a 33% shooter to go with his perimeter defence?
• Dorian is a good two way, but is he slowing down?
• Does Lebron have the energy to play both ways, will his shoot be hot or cold next season?
• Is Rui going to improve his defence to go with his stellar shooting? Can he improve his 3pt volume?
  
• Can Kleber get healthy and find his shot again?
• Can Goga and Isaac be credible lob threats for Luka?

I also think once Lebron leaves, this is a credible team for Luka to make some impact moving forward, lots of athletic defenders and shooters for him to make stuff happen. It's also a good core age wise for him in Goodwin, NAW, Knecht, Herb, Rui, Goga & Isaac. Just needs to find another running mate for him in a few years.

 

Thank you Scott Foster and that's not a sarcasm . Draymond fouled out

 

Go bert didn't play bad 11 rebounds,9 points and 5 blocks.Other than last game vs Lakers when JJ played Vince Gobert isn't doing something different

 

could be some Drake or Barkley put big money on GSW +5.5 Minnesota won ,but didn't cover the spread.You never know these days

 

It reminds me a little bit of the Lakers - Rockets series after Yao went down .
.
Wolves might lose the series because they aren't the 09 Lakers.

I'm seeing two scenarios

Wolves in 5 or Warriors in 7 .
