Here’s my theory on Wiggins…

He is expected to play like the 2nd or 3rd option on a contender and he crumbles under that pressure.

Couldn’t even be relied upon as a #2 on a dogshit Timberpups team.

But, when he came to the Dubs?

He was a 4th, if you count Poole, 5th option on offense.

He fucking flourished and played like the 2nd best player on a championship squad.

That’s what he would be for you.

But I get your point about the contract.

He would chew up a large portion of your open cap space.

My theory on Wiggins?

Whatever he dealt with last spring has him all messed up. Guessing he has either lost motivation, confidence, or both.

The Wiggins we saw who helped GS to a championship probably isn’t coming back any time soon, if at all.

I think people tend to underestimate the impact mental health issues can have on a players’ performance.

If your head and heart aren’t all the way in it, you can’t play well at the NBA level.

Sure

I think they get at least two firsts or an equivalent from another team just for Murray

Ex: lakers


Russell (matching salary)
Christie
JHS (17th pick this year)
Only first they can trade

For

Murray
Murray is a guy that would work...

He can work in a lot of places

I think that’s as high as the lakers bid though

I’ll believe it when I see it. Lopez has competed well vs Embiid since he came to the Bucks. I think the Bucks defense is vulnerable though when playoffs become a ton of half court stuff.
That would be a really good series....but I think Milwaukee wins in 7.

The only person in the whole league who gets to use the back to back excuse is Lebron and that's only because he's 75 years old.
LOL.

Playing like he 28. Career high 41.3% on 3's. If he can keep that up....he can play another 3-5 years.

Not to mention his other numbers.

I have to see what Sixers look like post deadline. At the same time, I think the Dame/Jrue swap actually weakened them for playoffs. They lost depth they haven’t replaced and they lack needed perimeter defense.

Sure....I was saying right now it would be a really good 7 game series.

Post trade deadline could change a lot.
