Anybody else notice . . . That while LaMelo mostly shoots off one foot, Joan mostly lands on one foot? I think I understand now how LaMelo uses his one-footed shot to keep the defender guessing just a split second longer and give himself a little more space for the shot. I kind of worry about Joan c...

Whoa, what happened to Joan’s shooting form from the line…looked like a shot put! Did not expect that after watching him shoot last year Really? I thought his shot looked bad last year too. Too quick. Too much forward-motion "push" to it. Serious question: is there a free throw shooting m...

Gimme 53 then. Realistically, that's gonna be tough. Nobody's gonna be tanking this year. I think these numbers will be down across the board. We had 49 the last two years, but I think we'll have to be better than the last couple years to get to the same win total. But I'm feelin' good, so 53 it is!...

UPDATE: Hornets are waiving Dillingham Feel bad for the kid. But that's how you turn a bad situation (drafting Rob) into a great situation - turning it into Ayo. I'm guessing someone will sign him to a 2 way deal. It feels like teams are pulling the plug on draft picks quicker than they used to. I ...

. . . which skill would you add, and to whom? For me, hands down it's a Jaylen Clark 3-point shot. If he could knock that shot down consistently and keep defenses honest, he'd be more valuable than Kuminga or Shannon, IMO. His defense is just so damn good. I think he's legitimately a star on that si...

Lyles shot the ball really well from 3 last year, 68/148, which is like, 45%, well above his career average of 35%. If he shoots anywhere near 45% this year, he should honestly play a lot . We need that floor spacing. If his shooting is more like 35%, he'll definitely play less, but we need both siz...

Yeah, this was obvious circumvention. The Clippers are crying that the evidence is circumstantial, but if you read the report and follow what's been shown to be true, there's literally no other explanation for what happened here OTHER than circumvention. On top of that, this isn't the first time the...

I think Lyles will see the floor before Bones ... As the 10th pick, Williams makes a pretty good salary. October 29th is the date the Wolves need to decide on picking up the team option for Williams' 27'-28 season (the season after next season). I would bet a lot of money on the Wolves not picking ...

I saw a video from a Utah fan who said he couldn't guard anybody in summer league. If he can't defend, there's no way he'll see the floor. I suspect he'll be, at best, the 12th man, and that's assuming Evans doesn't play at all. The following 11 guys will almost certainly hit the floor before him, r...

All of that is true, Q and monster. At the same time, I think a lot of the messaging about this trade has basically been: now the Wolves have a real PG, so Ant can move off ball and let Melo initiate. Dane, Jon K, national podcasters/commentators, and even Finch have basically said or indicated as m...
