[JD617]

Vertical Sources: Clippers forward Blake Griffin will undergo minor surgery on his right knee in coming days, return some point in January.

Shocking.

Not sure why we had a 2-3 page debate when I called the guy injury prone

My Jazz are looking amazing. Hill byke full time and a healthy Favors. We will be a top 4 seed come playoff time

I was thinking the same thing.

They're playing good basketball. One of the few teams I feel can make some noise come playoff time. I didn't know this until last night, but the Jazz have not been in any close games that came down to the final few minutes (last night was the only one).

The downside of getting everyone healthy is things are out of rhythm now. We've got at least 1 player back in each of the last 3 games and I believe Parsons is back tomorrow or at the latest Thursday. Looks like we back in training camp again.

Who was saying Blake wasn't injury prone... sounds like a fun discussion lol

wonder if we'll give kg a statue [emoji]129300[/emoji]

Need that statue of him on all four's barking like a dog

Anybody have a clip? Been trying to find it.

I can't wait until Hill is on the court every game in Utah, and healthy.

Hill and Favors.

Utah is 18-10.....with major rotational guys all missing more than a few games.

Rudy Gobert is amazing. Gordon Hayward has taken his game to the next level.

The 2nd greatest player of his generation:

Seventh best point differential in the league and that's with the slated starters (Gobert-Favors-Hayward-Hood-Hill) only playing 12 minutes together all season.

Worth following: according to league sources, Aaron Afflalo was slow to enter the game in Utah, declined to enter in Houston. Stay tuned.

Never change Sacramento.

The league needs to take over the Kings

Minnesota tied for the 2nd worst record in the league

Gonna take more time than we thought fellas.

Fultz in Minny though.

Trade Dunn and Rubio **** it.

Brooklyn, Philly, Minny and Dallas all have 7 wins.

What gives? Should minny give in and focus on player development? Give Dunn more minutes and postpone trading for a vet until the offseason.

I think that might benefit them in the long run because if they can land one of the PGs this draft, their rebuild should be over.

Lenzo Ball, Fultz, Dennis Smith De'Aaron Fox are all within reach. :x

Imaginary franchise players

 

[freeze]

so warriors are 3rd in defense and 1st in offense?

who is the rest of the top 3 in both? memphis is 1st in defense right?

where's cleveland in the rank? and spurs? and any other "contenders"?

Isn't that what Dunn is supposed to be?

Sooner or later, you need to add a veteran piece to the young talent. This is why I thought Jimmy Butler made a lot of sense for them (if they were asking for their pick + Lavine) in the deal. At this point, it may have been okay to move Wiggins + pick in the deal and roll with Lavine / Butler / Towns.

At the end of the day, you're not keeping all of these young guys long term anyway. You have a great chance at keeping 2 and a slight chance at keeping 3, keeping 4 is out of the question. I don't even think they need to keep their lottery pick this year. Package it with one of the guys you want to move on from and hopefully get an all-star caliber player.

That's why rebuilding is so tricky. Minnesota has been out of the playoffs since 2004. They now have 1 (Towns), maybe 2 franchise level players (Wiggins) and 2 other guys who could be potential stars in Dunn / Lavine. But, it seems like they are still 2 years away from doing something special and even then, it'll be hard to keep all of those guys on board. Might as well make a deal to get a vet piece.

The Wolves are there a lot of games, they just don't know how to "win yet."

They'll still get there though. Can't teach talent.

Thibs needs to relax partially...I though he would come back from his sabaatical having learned to relax a little more and ease up but don't think it is possible for him to do that, dude is on the court screaming at all times

who is the most expendable out of that big 3? Young Lavine? Send him to the lakers then. take D'Lo for him.

Why would the Lakers even want to do that?
