2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

The saddest part is this actually helps the Wolves.

Kat can go back to the 5 and stop playing like he’s Luke Kennard.

Yeah, this is some Linsanity lightening in the bottle kinda shit.

I like this kid.

But, he’s making it quite clear that he wants a huge bag or he’s dipping.

I don't have a huge issue with this.

Jeannie loves the kid. And he has a lot of potential. I don't think anyone is expecting him to be an all-star, but if he can average 12-15ppg he will be a huge asset for the future.

What Rob's main focus this offseason should be is to keep the core of the team in tact and off-load some of the lesser rotation pieces. I like Beasley but I don't see him coming back unless he takes the minimum or MLE. Rui will have to take a pay cut too. And Lonnie is gone!

Yes and no.

I agree it helps the Wolves to an extent, but the lack of Goberts (almost) 12rpg is going to hurt them.

The KAT vs AD match up will be fun though.

Lakers gotta lock down the key piece of their Big 3

 

[bksballer89]

Yup.

That top 5 pick is getting traded.

My point proven from last night. He wants to stay but wants better talent and dont want any young kids that they may not be ready for 2-3 yrs

Yep

They're basically even up whether he's on court or not.

He adds no value.

Rudy can’t guard AD.

His 6 fouls would have been his biggest contribution.

AD should STARCH KAT.

But, some times watching him play is akin to trying to charge your iPhone using a hamster wheel.

Frustrating, fruitless and ridiculous.

Also, the driving lanes will be wide open for Edwards because KAT thinks he’s Steph Curry.

He’s going to draw Davis out of the lane.

The missing player that hurts them the most is Naz Reid.

The plusses Gobert adds defensively and on the boards are negated by his offense

The other team doesn’t need to guard him until he is a foot away from the rim.

He’s as likely to get a 3 second call as he is to score….especially since they rarely pass him the ball anyway.

….and with good reason.

AD needs to get KAT into foul trouble. If he does that, there is literally nobody to stop him in the paint!

KAT is too soft to foul out.

Not a soul.

Kyle Anderson is fouling out too.

Why does this tweet read like he’s gossiping with the ladies at the hair salon?

@Shaqdaddy11 just asked this question as well.

SportsHoopla posters are on point today.

 

[Mebert]

I don't give a shit about Gobert getting suspended. McDaniels breaking his hand in a hissy fit is the real loss here. I am glad the Wolves went out of their way to prove me right for tuning out the NBA season this year.

He punched a teammate.

One game is fine.

Stopped at the gas station earlier and saw Dog the bounty hunter...

The loss McDaniels is bigger....

LOL.
