6 wins out of 7th. No way we make that up. But 5 wins out of 8th but that's held by LAC and no way they don't start tanking. They are going to remake their whole team and no reason to win with this one when it would cost them a lotto pick. So we are 3 wins out of 8th with a collapsing LAL and SAC to contend with. If we can get on a little run while SAC is integrating their new guys we might have a shot.
Might want to win a road game though. The second I'm a legit 5 games out of 8th though it's time to play for next year. Not tank but play who will be here in 2 years not who will be on other teams by summer.

Ryan Saunders said Tyus is back with the team and will play Friday.
He also said RoCo will miss the Knicks and Bucks game but should be back after that.

Meh, I don't think the LAC will tank. I don't think they want a pick in this draft if they can help it. Weak draft. Better to not have the cap-hold for a push in FA. They will try and make the playoffs is my guess.Thrillkill wrote: ↑Sat Feb 16, 2019 5:06 pm 6 wins out of 7th. No way we make that up.

It doesn't seem like they are tanking but they did get a really good package with future assets for Harris (who they might have felt like wasn't going to stay).SO_MONEY wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 1:37 pmMeh, I don't think the LAC will tank.

Lac will tank because if they miss the playoffs, they get to keep their first round pick, add that with two max salary spots they will have this summer.HeHateMe wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 2:08 pmIt doesn't seem like they are tanking but they did get a really good package with future assets for Harris (who they might have felt like wasn't going to stay).SO_MONEY wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 1:37 pmMeh, I don't think the LAC will tank.

Who cares if the clippers tank, the lakers will not miss the playoffs and take the clippers spot in the top 8. The league would literally leave hundreds of millions of dollars on the table if LeBron is not in the postseason. I would sit KAT and Covington the rest of the season to get a top 8 pick. Let Andrew average 25ppg on 35% shooting the rest of the year and hope you can get rid of him in the offseason.

Wiggins must be feeling better. How unfortunate. But the bright side to that is that we can now work towards a higher draft pick.

wouldn't it be amazing if Wiggins found a "beast mode"? He had a baby beast mode against Cleveland his first couple of years in the league...

Ain't happening.
Start identifying the future players on this team, test lineups, see how it works.
Should be 3 players set in stone in the starting lineup for next year: Towns, Saric, Covington. Need to figure out the rest.

They lost too much fire power. They won’t make it and can’t say it publically. They need that rookie contract especially since they are adding two max guys.HeHateMe wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 3:23 pmSO_MONEY wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 4:57 pmLike I said I doubt they want the pick in a weak draft and would rather have the extra capspace.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 2:45 pm

Dude, they don't want the salary of a rookie player in a weak draft! Why is that hard to understand? Using that salary on a vet, title chaser would make more sense than a rookie. And they seem to agree with this common sense. And I think they have a good chance at making the playoffs, that doesn't mean they do, but it is not like they have great teams chasing them.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 5:11 pmThey lost too much fire power.

With last nights loss, the Wolves are at 4.5 back with 23 games to go.
We absolutely need to go 3-0 the next 3 games vs the Kings, Hawks, and Pacers.
