    I don't have combat experience but I could imagine that if the opponent has a sniper that is close enough to tag me, it would be a very uneasy feeling whether he has pulled the trigger the last few days or not.

    7.1 threes PER36 last year... in 16/17 he was at 8.6, but the addition of CP3 has certainly taken away some shots.

    Yes it does, but it didn't help us, did it? Ryan has to move on, and shoot well in order to make a comeback.

    When did Nunnally sign with TWolves? Missed that. Not that it matters

    What other team has a $20m contract that they can literally throw away ?!


    Ryno isn't why Minny might make a deal exchanging Butler ….. Its the assets attached to Ryno and the fact that he wont be sticking around after the season.
    Teams aren't going to offer Minny a premium because Jimmy Buckets has already told the Wolves NO to a $110M extension. They have no leverage. Everyone knows he doesn't want to be there. Sure , other teams CAN make them a better offer than the Rockets BUT I'd bet the suitors are limited to teams believing they are contenders. Other teams aren't going to throw away assets and watch him leave at seasons end - Its a rental.


    Why wouldnt Cleveland dump $10m in salary (over two years) by swapping Ryno for Love and whatever asset was attached ?! They suck anyway. They can suck just the same with Ryno and a pick / prospect than simply sucking with Love.

    Don't think there's any reason to discuss Porter , he aint happening.

    But there's bad teams who might take Ryno and assets in return for very good players who aren't in their long term plans as every asset gained is a step towards potential recovery for the franchise.



    they don't have to acquire a "Star", just a quality player that isn't a liability against …. GSW.

    Decrease the Drop. No more hammy pulls to end series.

    The flip will be for a guard and/or versatile big. Recently, DJ, Court (morey fav), Tyus (really was ours) and a Mil wildcard....Craziest ear is the destruction in Minny. I told you Jimmy wanted out....that stands.

    Miami isn't out of the discussion...we just need some help (Sac/Mem)

    Also, Washington is already bickering about minutes. There's too much...stuff. One close friend (former Wiz) and a second friend (current Wiz) implied that players are asking agents for relocation. Bigger roles. There's a diamond in the rough who desperately wants a SHOT. Just remind him about the rules of the library :). And Bigs? White JSmoov already told me he hits the 3 with ease.


    And then, when the buy-outs come....the full circle will finish the puzzle. Friends become strangers, but family is forever. MDA is loved...flame me however you'd like but PHX/NY will release some familiar faces. Their first choice will be Houston, with Mike and CP3. #FreeTC


    Love ya'll

    Again, just posting what I hear. This post is 99% players talk.

    Peace to you and yours.


    And,as always, Golden State isn't the threat you think anymore. Teams learned from us in the playoffs. Hopefully, Kerr can coach when the injuries come.

    I’m not saying that Jimmy Butler is staying with the Wolves, I think he’s gone, but it literally made no sense for him to agree to that extension

    Why would he agree to a 4/110 extension when he could become a free agent and get 5/188 from the Wolves or 4/140 from another team? It’s the same reason why Kyrie came out and said that it didn’t make any sense for him to sign an extension with the Celtics.

    What assets would we be attaching to Ryno? We barely have anything of value. Nobody wants our trash. These hypothetical teams won’t be able to do better than scrub Ryno and garbage for their very good players for what reason?

    The Cavs can get more than Ryno and trash for Kevin Love which is why it’s delusional to think that could happen. This is the same Kevin Love who was about to be traded for Gary Harris and picks just last summer, and he will put up numbers now that he’s the #1 option on the Cavs which will make him look better.

    Thanks for all this (especially what I unnerstan).

    What is up in Wizland? Shirley not Scottie B??? Is it Wall?

    BTW - - Is there a coach more out of touch with today's NBA than Thibs? SVG was avant-garde in comparison.

    Again, and always, thanks. Peace. Life.

    Thanks Cod. You really are an integral piece to what makes this place great. I pray you are better soon.

    Can someone decipher this? Courtney Lee? Deanere Jordan?

    If we come out of this with Oubre and a bad contract, I'd be ecstatic

    I'd take a bag of chips and a can of Dr. Pepper for Ryan Anderson at this point

    This is simple - the pool of teams willing to make the investment on such a rental is very limited considering the dominance of GSW. If a team doesn't think Butler (or any other player) makes them a true contender with a real chance to beat the Warriors , they probably don't take the risk.

    The deadline is probably very quiet again this season , no real big moves similar to last season.

    even if that pool of teams is limited, a lot of those teams will have no problem beating a Ryno plus trash package...I’m not even talking about just Butler tho as u said that there’s bad teams who would give up very good players for Ryno too...I’m wondering why the best those very good players could get them is Ryno

    Ryno couldn’t get u Melo, Ryno isn’t getting Bazemore, and Ryno isn’t getting James Johnson either...nobody wants this scrub, even with trash attached to him

    I'ma try and break this down to the best of my ability but I'll probably fail.

    Courtney Lee and Tyus Jones to open it up. Milwaukee wildcard could be anyone, but Henson fits the bill as a versatile big and also makes similar money to Ryno.

    One close friend former Wiz (Nene) and a second friend current Wiz (Jason Smith aka White J Smoove) implied players want relocation. Bigger roles (Otto Porter) or diamond in the rough that desperately wants a SHOT (Oubre?) or could point in the direction of someone that cant shoot, another team like Charlotte, MKG specifically because he's been mentioned here and he definitely does not have a jumpshot. Our "rules of the library" could mean don't take 3's if you can't make em? No foot on the line 3's? I'd gladly welcome the white J Smoove.

    Friends become strangers, but family is forever.. MDA is loved. Mentions PHX/NY. Those players would be: Trevor Ariza (friends become strangers, fam is forever) #FreeTC Tyson Chandler, Troy Daniels and Courtney Lee is also a familiar face.

    Thanks Cod!

    Brother, love back at you--hoping you're doing well. Thanks for sharing murmurs.

    So the Wiz have a weird collection of personalities--Wall, Dwight, Rivers... They also have some guys that would look good on our bench--Markief Morris, Ian Mahinmi, etc. I'm guess Kelly Oubre could be the rough diamond, but I don't know much about their young guys. Could White JSmooth be Jason Smith?

    Would love to add Courtney Lee if NYK let him go and the familiar face from PHOX (Ariza, Daniels or Canaan?)

    I feel like the DJ he is referring to is DJ Augustin since he's talking about guards. Don't see how D.Jordan could be in any discussions.

    Courtney Lee, Tyus Jones (would love him here, very interesting Cod says he was ours!)

    Mention Jimmy Butler

    Milwaukee wild card would likely be Delly or Snell.

    He mentions Jason Smith, potentially Oubre, maybe Meeks.

    Tyson Chandler, and Joakim Noah are the guys from NYK/PHX who could be bought out.
