Yeah I'm excited, going to the Team USA vs Team Canada Olympic warm up the couple of days before as well.
I know you shitpost in here constantly and people around here all hate KAT, but this would push me over the fucking edge.
- Having a contending roster is expensive. Trading good players as salary dumps is a great way to have a roster that doesn't contend. Wolves fans probably know this better than anyone else.
- The Wolves are going to have a fucking fat luxury tax bill, and will be over the second apron, but the Rudy contract will be an expiring in the 26/27 season, so they have an exit strategy to avoid the really punitive luxury tax stuff.
- Randle fucking stinks and they'd be trading their best shooter for another guy who is going to impact spacing.
- Most importantly, Thibs had a huge hand in the amount of disrespect KAT gets nationally. He's the one who insisted on a drop coverage scheme that didn't play to KAT's skill set, his hand picked star froze KAT out of the offense constantly, and when his hand picked star foamed up his diapers, Thibodeau did nothing to have KAT's back whatsoever. Add to that that he fucking embarrassed him on the court constantly (he legitimately got a tech for cussing out KAT too hard...), and it would be just the pits to see a guy who was so loyal to a dogshit franchise get sent into a no win situation with a coach who has been horrible to him in the past.
You root for shitty teams, and you end up rooting for the people. KAT is an all-world human being. I hope they make it work with him.
KAT is a great dude and I hope they make it work too, but I could see the Grizz being interested in him to have a full gunner all shooters + Ja lineup. Trade number 9, Luke Kennard, some youth, another pick or two and filler. A-Rod gets young cost controlled players.
I could see Brooklyn make a bid for him too though I question the assets they'd have to trade. I don't think they'd trade Mikal.
OKC has the assets but I don't think KAT fits their style? I think they'd rather keep Chet at the 5 but get a good backup big. Feel like depending on the price though KAT would be the best player available on the market and their window is now.
I hate Goober with a passion, dummy blocked me on social media once because I said his game is washed because he's big for nothing and can't shoot a jumper lol
I would keep KAT over Goober
You need bigs and bigs that can shoot
Timberwolves would speed run getting Antman mad and wanting to bolt if they trade KAT over Goober
Timberwolves fans need to spam that to their social media all offseason if they get bounced this round because they're gonna make changes
Wouldn't surprised if Rockets trade the #3 pick and one of their forwards for KAT

lmao
Skip, assuming he can put his ego aside might as well get ready to be on first take. They'll probably give him a day like Mad Dog. Thursdays or Fridays so he doesnt have to interact with Shannon.
LMAO!!!!!
Well damn; I'm a little sad to see TNT inside nba go…the memes were legendary! But I ain't missing Chuck's hating ass…in fact none of them gave my Knicks hardly any credit where it was due!😤
I also would have accepted 4 pictures of the Motor City Cruise logo.
We may lose Kenny struggling to run to the big screen every night, but at least we have Kendrick Perkins detailed Xs and Os analysis during the 15 second long ESPN half time show to look forward to.
Smith said he's glad Take is winning over Undisputed but to be fair, no one was watching Undisputed for Skip
Bronny measured 6'1 at the combine lol whoops guess they shouldn't have been listing him at 6'4
Pistons have to take Bronny at 53 then and go scorched Earth. Make the rest of the league feel our pain.
Yeah:

This has been bubbling all day as he wasn't at shootaround or usual warmups. Kinda figured he'd get there though.
Dean Wade game incoming.
Devastating knee injury for Nikola Topic in ABA finals today. Was mocked as top 5 pick but needed help off court and couldn't put weight on same knee that kept him out for 3 months. Heart breaking for the kid. Non contact so hopefully it's not as bad as it looked but I woold
Expect him to slip out of top 10

WOLVES IN SI-
oh.
Hope he can recover. Always a bummer to see young league hopefuls getting sidelined by injuries.
They have Jason Tatum playing like the Michael Jordan of Tobias Harrises and they're just gonna cake walk their way through the East because everyone is banged up. This is insane and should be looked into.
Garland or Strus or both dropping 30 each
SHOOKtics play like a game is already over if a star player is out
Dummies gonna play lazy all night

And you know Brunson is gonna get hurt after playing 45 minutes in 8 straight games or whatever crazy minutes Thibs makes them play.
Lol yeah his name is like 80% there I can see it haha. Hope it isn't too bad
Regular season matters as it turns out. Denver let slip a game end of season to the spurs and they're in a war with the wolves when they coulda had Dallas or okc
Now Boston reaping the rewards of being the one seed
Now Boston reaping the rewards of being the one seed
What difference would seeding make in this particular case? If Boston was the 2 or 3 seed right now they'd still sleepwalk to the Finals when Giannis, Embiid, Jimmy, half the Knicks roster, and 2 Cavs starters are injured?
Celtics did what they needed to do early in the season to prevent their guys from accumulating all this wear and tear + extra miles. Their reward is a cakewalk to the Finals. Hopefully nobody in the West gets injured
Celtics twirling a cane to the finals!!!😩😩😩
Don't worry my depleted Knicks taking them in 7! BELEIVE DAT!!!!

Can they wait that long? There has to be a few teams above that spot that would draft Bronny to try and lure LeBron for a year or two.
Wade playing means he's dropping 30
Just like last time Donovan didn't play in Cleveland

Why advertise for another network is probably what they are thinking, if it still pulls ratings.
