Which sort of proves Hollinger's assumption that if you get enough cracks at the lottery eventually you'll be pretty good.
Kinda want to have John Nash in charge of 10 drafts in the lottery for someone (not us) just to see if that happens.
I never said anything about an individual player, I was only pointing out that if the Wolves actually look good (and they did against the Thunder) and can sustain it, eventually if you keep picking at the top of the draft year after year you'll get some talented players and will probably get good at some point. Hell, look at the Grizzlies; Hiesley hasn't exactly been the picture of saavy and smart drafting, but somehow they managed to get to the second round. I wouldn't be shocked if the wolves finally get over the hump and make it to the playoffs this year or next, especially now that they have a competent coach.
Just dawned on me, including playoffs and preseason, the Lakers have lost 8 straight! You gotta love that.
LA fans desperately wanting to trade Pau. Would you guys be open to giving up Felton/Crash for Blake/Pau/Pick? It would kill our FA hopes for next season, but either LA or Pau can take over C full time and make a formidable duo up front. Then again, there's a lot of duplicity with LA and Pau.
While I think Pau would be an upgrade over Gerald, it would be a huge downgrade at PG for us, and with Pau we still wouldn't be contenders. If the deal could get us a championship right now I'd consider it, but since not I'd rather keep the youth and salary flexability. Pau also won't have terribly much trade value being on that bloated contract.
Just looked at LA's schedule. They're @ UTA next (3rd game in a row). vs. NYK on Thursday home/home against DEN on Sat/SUN vs HOU next Tuesday @ POR next Thursday That is just brutal. I can legitimately see them coming into the RG with a 2-5 record.
After looking at all the results so far; I feel like the teams that can somehow really bring it every night are gonna have great records. Hopefully the Blazers can keep up their past success in usually beating teams that they are better than; home and away.
I'm not sure how good they will be, but Rubio and Williams will make me tune in and watch them on league pass. Rubio looks like a rookie Sergio? The reads Sergio made in this game were amazing.
anyone else getting the feeling its gonna be a dog fight to make the playoffs? theres no pushover in the west at all.
