When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Love it.

Some draft insight it seemed like was being saved for this moment (and is fed by selfserving af sources)

quote:

Throughout an exhausting, all-consuming preparation for the 2020 NBA Draft, Timberwolves officials tried to examine every single aspect of the top three prospects available to them with the top pick.

A key part of their decision-making process centered around a simple truth. Whoever was coming to Minnesota had to want it. For all of the progress they believed they were making with the roster, the Wolves knew they still had so far to go. They needed a star at No. 1, someone who wasn’t afraid of the Herculean task that was ahead of him to help lift a franchise that has been buried under ice and snow for most of the last two decades. They needed someone who wasn’t going to run from the fight, who wasn’t going to complain about the cold weather or the old arena or the lack of tradition. It was always going to take an almost irrational level of audacity to turn one of the NBA’s least successful franchises into a winner.

James Wiseman, sources told The Athletic, did not want to come to Minnesota and play behind Karl-Anthony Towns. LaMelo Ball was curiously quiet and short with his conversations with personnel in the interview process, leaving the impression that he wasn’t excited about being with the Timberwolves. Then there was Anthony Edwards, who made it abundantly clear to them that he was ready for anything they could throw at him.
Honestly raises my opinion of LaMelo.

In the meantime, KAT absolutely should have had a 17-17-10 triple double on 7 FGA last night but nobody could sink a layup in the first half.

yesterday I saw John Wall trending on twitter. When I clicked it there was a report about him potentially being traded for Westbrook with Houston then buying out Westbrook. Seems kind of stupid for the Lakers and no one is talking about it here so I guess it's probably made up.

It was Stein doing a thought exercise. Basically the Rockets already need to figure out a buyout with Wall so doing it with Westbrook isn’t much different and if you can pick up a first round pick for your troubles why not

Some Houston reporter with sources mentioned Houston would be open to a trade for Westbrook and the 2027 pick, and then some other reporters jumped on it as a talking point. Even if you ignore that Westbrook has been mostly positive for the Lakers, trading their best asset for Wall, one of the worst players in the league last year, would be really bad, yeah, I don't think anyone's actually considered it.



I'm glad, I said the Lakers should sign him in like August so it's always nice to be vindicated. Like PopDog says he's still the same player, but he's better than the other guys the Lakers have tried at the 4 this year and the fact he can spend some time at the 3 or even 2 helps especially now that Davis is back.

He's not great, but he is a passable defensive wing who can play small ball 4 and that is something this team has desperately needed. He doesn't have to be the #8 pick in a loaded draft for us, he can just be a hustle dude

I just wanna say that I am overall pretty happy with Willie Green's job, so far. Not "this is acceptable" but actually happy. It's been a while since I felt the Pels had a coach that is or could be better than JAG. With the exception of too much Temple and occasionally too much Sato, I don't think there is much I could criticize.

The team has obvious plans on offense and defense, even if they aren't always executed well. Players appear to be encouraged to go a little outside the box of what is planned for them. Morale seems to be high, even through losses.

Maybe a little lack of creativity in ways to get easier looks for Ingram and Jonas without spending so much of the shot clock trying to do so. Actual results from developmental work remain to be seen, but it is also still super early.

e: oh, he also appears to preach aggression and attacking an opposing team's defense, which I am a huge fan of

That reminds me of when they tried to claim Kevin Love (pre LeBron showing up and giving him Purpose) had some record that Moses Malone had, which, hey, I get it, time marches on, but at the time there were like10 players in the league still who played when Moses Malone was in the league still.

Too bad about James Harden ordering a hit on him. . . . . . . .
