The Ayo Era Begins - Pelicans at Wolves GDT

But he's not hurt, I don't think

He's listed as having a quad injury, but you're right, he played in his last game with the Bulls. This is more related to completing the trade as Tim said.

That's typical with trades, I'm just glad he isn't hurt

I have a sore back, but I’m otherwise healthy and available today. I’ll hold things together until Ayo is ready.

From Jonny K:

Tim Conelly on motivations behind the Dosunmu trade: "I think we have a real puncher’s chance to win a championship."

This is counting the chickens before they hatch, but Ayo could be a piece for ANT 2.0. They may not be able to afford Donte in two years, and Ayo could slide right into his spot. I saw a lot comments from Chicago fans that Ayo should have been starting.

That first ANT layup looked like a Bones layup.

He was akin to the Naz/DDV/NAW trio last season where we had "8 starters". And he has indeed started some games for Chicago, so he and Naz are effectively going to be in similar roles off the bench as the 6th/7th starter where it's possible one or both could close some games too depending on how they're playing.

Can Ant and Julius PLEASE bring some defensive energy to start this game and share the ball!?! Pretty please!

[Crazysauce]

Wonder what the excuse for a poor effort tonight will be with the deadline over

[60WinTim]

Bones making sure he doesn’t slide any further than 8th in the rotation!

[Q-is-here]

Ant can just score at will on this team. Julius....not so much. Unfortunately they're scoring at will on us! Sigh.

[Crazysauce]

Are we planning on getting back on defense at all tonight? Also we need to rid ourselves of Randle
