Andrew Wiggins WS/48 by year.

Gobert is back healthy.
Hopefully we can trade Favors soon because our offense is soooo fucking bad with two centers and Ricky Rubio out there.

Now that Butler is starting to play well and assert himself as the first option, I've reached this point where it's like, well, what is the point of Wiggins on this team? Everything I thought back in June is coming true, where the overlap between Wiggins and Butler is becoming problematic. His volume scoring isn't helpful when he's the third option and continues to not be able to shoot well and space the floor for the good players to operate. (And also doesn't play defense, etc.)
The move is swapping Wiggins for a 3 and D wing, which they can't do now because Thibs is stubborn as hell and Wiggins now makes a bazillion dollars and still isn't good.
The Kings traded DeMarcus Cousins for Buddy Hield, Justin Jackson, and Harry Giles.
It's not looking good.

I actually think Hield is OK and Jackson could be pretty decent too. Everybody knew that was just dump so they didnt have to pay DMC the supermax. Could have done way better though
I'm so glad Hill turned down $80+ mil from the Jazz

By Method Go To PostThe dude needs more fight. Not sure what it is but he needs to play a little more angry at timesIn his defense, Lonzo has slowly been showing some emotions in the locker room to how he responds to the media.
and he did get his first tech.
but I agree, dude needs to wear his heart on his sleeves.
Hields shooting numbers show promise. Really odd he's only playing 22 minutes a game as the star player of a tank team though.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostHields shooting numbers show promise. Really odd he's only playing 22 minutes a game as the star player of a tank team though.He didn't even start last game.
E: he's actually only started 7/21 games this season
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostHields shooting numbers show promise. Really odd he's only playing 22 minutes a game as the star player of a tank team though.
Yeah, he started the year off rough but he's turned it around and his .459 3p% is elite. There's reason to think he's going to be a super valuable player to have in this NBA.
Jackson... I dunno. Early returns aren't good, but that franchise almost never develops anybody (pray for Willie Cauley-Stein) so I kind of hate to pass early negative judgment on young dudes stuck in that vortex.
The thing with Cousins is that however good his numbers are, the potential for him to implode emotionally or mess with the team psyche is always there. Sacto handled the situation poorly because management doesn't know what they're doing, but I can't blame them for not wanting to roll the dice on paying him the moon, or having to live with that atmosphere around the team all the time.
By masud Go To PostNo KP or Hardaway for this game. Ouch…
magic lost @ home to chicago earlier so dont count it out yet
By DY_nasty Go To Posthield is discount bradley beal
Yeah, but you hated on Bradley Beal back when Bradley Beal was discount Bradley Beal. That dude now I would take in a heartbeat.
Even if Buddy isn't the guy to lead the team, I look at those numbers and think he could be an assassin in a good offence.
By diehard Go To Postits weird to me that this matters to peopleSeeing as how Utah supports a man that is destroying America, you damn right it matters to me.
By charsace Go To PostSeeing as how Utah supports a man that is destroying America, you damn right it matters to me.this post is a heavy. there's a political thread for a reason. keep it nba talk.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostYeah, but you hated on Bradley Beal back when Bradley Beal was discount Bradley Beal. That dude now I would take in a heartbeat.beal isn't even as good as oladipo

he was supposed to be some franchise talent when he's more suited for the eric gordon role
By charsace Go To PostSeeing as how Utah supports a man that is destroying America, you damn right it matters to me.the fuck that gotta do with anything? you see him waving around klan flags? no? then its fucking stupid lol
where a guy plays or lives doesn't have a damn thing to do with politics
By DY_nasty Go To Postbeal isn't even as good as oladipo
Oladipo's on the verge of becoming DeRozan but with defence, that guy could be really damn good.
he was supposed to be some franchise talent when he's more suited for the eric gordon role
I'm not going to sweat whether a guy is franchise level or not, that's always a roll of the dice. The new NBA puts such a premium on range that it's clear he's a difference maker. Any team should be happy to wind up with a guy like that imo. In Sacto's case they were never going to get full value for Cousins...in fact I'd say the jury is still out on what full value is. At any time he could do some hot-headed thing that will have people saying "good thing the Kings got rid of him while they could."
Even barring that...what's the true value in investing that much in the center position in the current NBA? Like, I legit don't know.

The NBA needs to make it a priority to have these games start on time. Way too often I'm waiting 10-15 minutes past the slated tip off time. Annoying af.

I just assume every game starts 10mins past the advertised tip off time, worse if it's a national game

I think my favorite thing about the Wolves right now is that our announcers are getting increasingly depressed by the team defense.
By obijkenobi Go To PostI legit think the Spurs would have won if Kyle Anderson didn't have a freak knee injury.yea it's amazing they actually had a chance. five key guys were missing...
