I really like Dame but I’m getting a little tired of this whole leak and deny thing. It’s okay to be unhappy! We get it!

 Pacers get Wall and picks
Blazers get Turner and TJ Warren (or a piece of paper that says TJ Warren)
Mavs get CJ
Rockets get LaVert and Porzingis and whatever second-rounders are left over

There, I did it, I fixed the NBA

lol this makes the Mavs worse.

I admit to not having watched them much at all this season and am still operating on the assumption that KP is a continued disappointment and the constant hum of "they need a secondary creator" that seems stuck to them in the Luka era. Is KP playing better?

 Hey, you guys remember that one time when the NBA was the major flag-bearer that signaled the start of the pandemic? img-this-is-fine.gif

Point guard D’Angelo Russell may be having a down year shooting the ball (.383/.330/.817), but he’s proven to be an essential player for the Timberwolves, writes Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic. Krawczynski argues that Russell might be the team’s most important player this season due to his unexpected two-way impact — he’s defending with gusto for the first time in his career — and the lack of other play-makers on the roster.

Krawczynski relays that the 12-15 Wolves, currently the No. 9 seed in the West, are 0-5 without Russell this season — each defeat by double figures. They are a respectable 12-10 when he plays. He writes that Russell’s willingness to shoot creates space for teammates, and his presence on defense has been a boon. Head coach Chris Finch praised Russell’s communication when playing zone defense.

“He’s smart, knows where he should be, knows where his teammates should be, so yes, for sure, he can anchor the defense with his voice,” Finch said. “Certainly gives confidence to those guys that they know what’s behind them.”

Does it, though? If he took seven fewer shots a game, would defenses suddenly say "oh, well, we can play off DLo now, where we couldn't before!" It's getting kind of hard to argue that he has some kind of defensive impact as they are one of the best defensive teams in the league when he's on the floor (100.8 ppp) and mediocre-to-bad when he's off (108.3 ppp). But, like, can't he just shoot a little less?

 I reeeeeally think they should pause the season. But in lighter news:

Alex Caruso is invisible to the entire Lakers organization, don't blame Russ and DJ.
