stashing assets for the 2023 nba offseason

he also missed 2/3 the season. and extremely untimely injuries to 2 of their top 6 players. i think theyll be a top 4-6 team next year if everyone stays relatively healthy.

are you talking about the t wolves

Yah

Kat entering his prime. Ant, Jaden another year older. Full season w Conley instead of DLo

putting denver aside on one end and houston, san antonio, portland & utah aside on the other end you could plausibly tell me that any of the other 10 west teams could finish between 4-6. but i still see the wolves as an 8-12 team

the biggest thing that sucked about KAT being out for so long is it provides this blank space where you could project anything, we went through a whole year and still don't really know. i could see management going either way, get out from under KAT get back some picks or - which I think is plausible - what Spottie just said, run this back and it can only get better.

are they willing to pay naz reid is another question. their tax bill is gonna start hiking real quick

I just don’t think a team with edwards, gobert, and either KAT or what KAT gets flipped for is a real threat to finish out of the play-in. they’re probably closer to 6-8 than 4-6 imo tho

are they willing to pay naz reid is another question. their tax bill is gonna start hiking real quick

i think they are going to let him go, hopefully to the jazz so him and walker kessler be the twin towers of wolves regret

feels like ant will eventually be good enough to earn a top 4 seed for whatever team he's on, but also feels like that team isn't gonna be minnesota

they need to can finch. he clearly has no clue.

the more I think about it, given Ant's and Jaden's progression it would be nice - had the Rudy trade not happened - to have the option of trading KAT, getting another good player and picks, having a Naz Reid and Walker Kessler as diet KAT and Rudy but way younger and cheaper, then keeping some of the intriguing young pieces like Alexander-Walker, Josh Minott, Luka Garza and being in the same zone as OKC

uhh....ok?

Anthony Edwards could face legal action,per @DenverSportsCom

“A law enforcement source said Edwards picked up a chair & swung it, striking a security guard…A source confirmed the incident and said both employees were injured & asked to file charges.”

I mean... c'mon

im not seeing much there but idk.

i think we can all agree it should be legal for ant edwards to do wrestling moves on ppl and arena employees sitting courtside

I keep watching that clip and wondering what I'm supposed to be seeing

well he's swinging a metal chair in a crowded space while running which isn't wise but it's not the ideal angle to know what the hell happened

a better angle

Had this sent to me, Idk original source. Credit to them.

It is unreal how something as harmless as moving a chair can get the assault label and ensuing fallout.

Unbelievable

Lol also as more and more phone videos of this are going to surface and studied like the Zapruder film

very serious stuff call the cops

i mean he clearly hit the blonde lady in the back. that would hurt

video got sent to us

yeah kinda hard to tell still but the tip of one of the legs coulda dinged her pretty good. reckless and dumb from the kid.

lad,

extremely normal thing to do with a metal chair

dont worry im sure both employees are going to get a nice little check for calling the police

if thats what file charges means in the first tweet maybe its just some hr shit if so fine please stop swinging chairs laddy

although it does saw law enforcement source i guess

does acab include security guards

surely the team will cough up a bag of cash to get them to not press charges that's just how this works right

💰

idk its not like theres a felony there lawsuit is prob the more likely thing they want to avoid

if you were at a cookout and some guy swung a chair celebrating getting a ringer in horseshoes and he accidentally hit two people a little bit with the chair and they called the cops would they even come idk

i support a little involuntary wealth redistribution. ant can afford it

would think itd be the team that pays but same diff

maybe theyll fine him idk

cavaliers, bucks: welcome to the nba offseason

good post-mortem of the Wolves season:

shams already on the bud beat hes done

“Mike Budenholzer’s status as Bucks head coach is very much shaky, there are questions across the organization… I’m told Budenholzer has two years and $16 million left on his contract.”

$5M for each timeout he didnt use

The Rockets have "addressed the idea" of trading Jalen Green, per @JakeLFischer

Potential targets for Houston include James Harden and Khris Middleton pic.twitter.com/KThyNRpRcQ

i love to address an idea

thats what the offseason is all about

trading a second year high draftee is such a bad org signifier

how is he? has he been bad or are they just being weird?

hes been bad but not unpromising, i think he was the worst finisher at the rim this year, but dont worry because jabari smith was the worst above the break three shooter

its def fair to worry about him not panning out but if youre worried then so is everyone else youre not going to get much for him

what we need to do is get rid of our lottery pick with upside and swap him for 35 year old james harden.

also they can just sign harden not so sure about that story

that could be a steal of a contract for okongwu

agreed he fits a whole lot better in Snyder's scheme. replacing Collins and Capela with Okongwu and Johnson is going to make the hawks really fun

locking up a young guy on a cheap deal usually works out pretty good if theyve any promise

i guess thats not totally a cheap deal but it seems pretty reasonable

in *this economy* thats a great deal
