He can be a really good player for us if he can hit those at a decent clip, if not he won't play. We gambled a bit on his contract, but so did he. Could be good value for us and he still makes top .01% money compared to the avg person. He's not too far off. Made 43% of his 3s in Year 1 and 33% in Y...

This isn't about Trey Lyles. This is about how we are going to fill 48 minutes a night at that position. And IMO, Lyles fits the type of player we need in that role. A legit-sized 4 who can stretch the floor. But Lyles averaged 18 minutes off the bench for four years before the Sacramento Kings opt...

Our projected starting PF Jaden McDaniels = 185 pounds The rest of the projected starting PFs in the Western Conference Chet Holmgren = 208 pounds Tobias Harris = 228 pounds Aaron Gordon = 235 pounds Draymond Green = 230 pounds Jabari Smith = 220 pounds Deni Avdija = 228 pounds Rui Hachimura = 230 ...

Quick point on the FT% thing. Yes he shot 70% last year, but that was on, like, 40 total FTs. His FT% in Europe was more like 55%, which was on about twice as many FTs. Still a small sample size. It is possible he's improving. But his shot mechanics are ugly, so I do think we should temper our expec...

Some thoughts on Beringer after the first half and watching him in warmups. He is a LOOONG way from being able to do anything with his jump shot. His FTs maybe he will be able to make them but it's a very manufactured shot. He looks much better if he is shooting with one hand but that one turn arou...

This Clippers Raptors thing is crazy. The Clips are now saying that they are not only trading Kahwi but also the risk of a penalty if they're found to have bypassed the salary cap. Obviously, the Raptors don't want to take on that risk, so the trade is on hold. The Clippers logic is kind of nuts to ...

Regarding the whole Beringer at the 4 talker, one of the Wolves coaches said in summer league it's basically Beringer at the 4 on defense and at the 5 on offense. Basically flip flopping spots each end. If he's playing next to Rocco, I can see that because of Rocco's ability to shoot. I don't see t...
