    He keeps getting put in the wrong positions. Tyreke needs to be on a team that will play him most of the time at the 2 and maybe a little time at the point. He is not a SF and his worst games & seasons have been when he is forced into that position. It was so dumb for New Orleans to sign him with the relative strength of that position on their team anyways. I still think he'd be a great fit here. He is elite at scoring in the paint and can get soem really easy points for his team. I think he'd be great next to Dame and Nic in the starting 5

    Yeah, he needs to play the 6th Man position. Much like Kevin Martin, he'll never be a starter on a good team but could be a very good 6th man.

    6th man would be a great role for him, just so long as he stops getting played at the 3

    So, you're saying that the entire offensive system would need to be revamped for Evans. Offense in the starting unit isn't a weakness for this team. If you're going to spend $11m for a new SG, maybe have it be an elite defender who stretches the defense with outside shooting? In other words, a guy like Wes except who also is a shut-down defender.

    Without Love, they scored 110 against us.

    With Love, they scored 89 against another subpar defending team Houston. Love scored 31 with 10 rebounds.... He may just not be good for a team.

    Spurs lose 109-100 in Detroit.

    When do they get Kawhi Leonard back?

    24-28 for the Wolves, who were supposed to be the surprise team this year.

    Love isn't a #1. I'm not sure he's even a #2. Does he force a trade this summer? Where is a landing spot for him? Would the Clippers move Griffin for him? I doubt it, but it could happen.

    Not with the way Blake has been playing lately.

    Love will be a Laker. You just know it. I can feel it coming in the air tonight.

    The league will dictate where he goes. And that will be the Lakers. I highly doubt Love actually has a choice.

    Love is Shareef Abdur Raheem mkII. I hope he does go to the lakers because he's a loser.

    How can you be supposed to be surprising? You can only be surprising if no one expects it. Like Phoenix and us. The Wolves were supposed to be a playoff team or close to it. Well, then I guess they were a surprise team this year. Surprisingly bad.

    Why is there a red box above the quick reply box with PapaG's avatar on it?

    It's clearly because people hate Carmine Ragusa.

    Incidentally, the biggest buttkicking ever was Cleveland beating Miami by 68 back in the 80s. Who knew Miami would punch back in the summer of 2010?

    Why are guys with injury history like Curry and Iggy still in the game? Ok Curry was just pulled. Iggy still there. They're up by 40.
