I'd trade anyone if I could get my hands on that new marble counter top in men's lounge. Trading Kat, McD, and NR are probably what we're looking at, but if we have a great finish, who knows maybe they eat second apron a year. To me Naz still is the easiest, and then looking at who's on deck behind him (Leo Miller Time!), maybe bring Kyle and Warren back cheap, but there are also deals I'd move Kat on. I just like what I've seen with Kat out there, that he can give the team versus Naz. But open to whatever. The only pragmatic approach is to look at each deal's return and go from there. To me another playmaker makes sense, and ideally it's on their first or second contract, versus say what Donovan Mitchell might be looking for. McDaniels is probably the 2nd most untouchable guy on the roster. I get that you have a...unique...way of valuing players, fortunately it doesn't jive with Tim Connelly. Interesting exercise. Orders of untouchables: ANT NAW/JADEN (tie) RUDY NAZ CONLEY KAT MILLER After that it doesnt matter. I just hope Connelly is here to worry about it. The more I think about it, I could see him bolting if we actually win the whole damn thing this year if Glen wont up his pay even more. And I could see him bolting BECAUSE someone else WILL offer him a kings (x?) ransome to go elsewhere. If we can make it to the WCF (or god forbid win it all), he'll have built 2 teams that have gone to WCF/NBA Title. Pretty impressive.

Def liked the Kyle, Gobert, and turning Lo into a point guard. Excited about Clark and Miller. Remember that time we tried playing with no centers and zero offense?

Ant Tim Connelly Rudy I would say almost everyone else is touchable pending what we're getting back. In terms of my favorite next in no particular order I probably go Kat, Kyle, NAW, McD, and Miller.

If Glen wins its closer to 50/50.

Trade K-Baby (the original but far worse teammate and person than D-Lo) for Kris Humphries.

That said, the league would do well to start to distance themselves from Glen and actually to start putting some pressure on Glen to go through with the sale. They are getting competent owners who have helped turn this franchise from a laughing stock into a contender. This is what the league wants.

If they met the criteria, I expect the league would approve, again unless there's other concerns (for example emphasis on building a new arena). People can not like Glen and say he's doing the right thing still. Not crossing t's, or dotting i's is significant for a deal of this size. It's not like buying a car from a friend. This would be an incredible move by Glen if he did not have this locked. One of the wildest things I've ever seen. Give me a cup of coffee, control f, and some Twizzler Nibs I'll have this resolved by tip off of game three. And I will charge $500,000.

I thought I saw A-Rod at the game during the broadcast but it was just a very brief glimpse and If I recall Glen banned them from parts of the arena. If this is the case I would say its going well for Lore and A-Rod because it was basically courtside. Overall I'm pretty sure Glen is going to lose on this one.

It'd be nice if we could get this added to those betting sites.
I think the framing of Lore and A-Rod have met the requirements but the NBA may still vote down is padding for the true believers.

Someone tell Wachtell I've seen more potent whipser/smear campaigns from 5 grade girls.
Middle school was like walking around Gangland. I felt like that town in Civil War that was just trying to stay out of it, sell boutique items. Although maybe even that is taking sides?!!

Pathetic showing by the Pels. I wasn’t super impressed by OKC, but they do play consistently close to their ceiling. I think they would have an outside shot at beating Denver but I don’t see them matching up with the Wolves well at all. Nice to see Lakers pull one out of the series maybe they can get another one.

Pels are kind of trash without Zion.
Ingram and McCollum continue to underwhelm.

I am not scared one bit by OKC. If and when us and Denver win our series, I really think this is what the WCF should be. We match up so well and play to each other's strengths and weaknesses very well. I think the Pels have just been bad more than OKC has been good.

The Knicks handle Philly to go up 3-1. Brunson is a really special clutch player. Ind is up by 13 over Mil going into the 4th. Long way to go though. I'm kind of rooting for Indiana. Oh Oh it's now a 6 pt game. :) Maybe I better root for Mil :)
I've really had my fill of Doc Rivers. Time for someone new. Doc is 18 and 21 since joining Milw.
It's over at Indiana up 17 with 2 min to go.
Myles Turner is killing it. 29 pts on 7 of 9 from 3.

Am I cheering for the Lakers now??? It'd be great if they can push Denver harder and into a longer series so we can get our guys a couple extra days of rest. Having Murray potentially be out definitely helps their cause.

Having Murray potentially be out definitely helps their cause. I hurts my soul...but I have to root for the Lakers tonight. A win tonight gives the wolves 2 more days of rest...which I think they need. Denver will win the series eventually...but them playing another extra game would be a good thing. Kind of a shame that Minnesota and Denver will be meeting in round 2. This really is the western conference finals. I think the winner of this series will represent the west in the finals.

I'm not scared of OKC one bit. We played so well against them all year. If we make it to the WCF and it's against OKC, the way the Thunder win the series is if Daigneault outcoaches Finch. We've seen the whistles tighten from the refs which takes a ton of wind out of SGA's sails. I like the way we match up with the Thunder and I think the playoff experience our guys have and are gaining will be an advantage for us.

It's crazy how fast these tectonic shifts tend to happen. Was it three years ago KD looked awesome against the Bucks?
Two years ago McCollum and BI were holding their own against best in the west Suns.
A good reminder to go for it while you have a window. Pels are not good without Zion this year, but they looked very dangerous that playoffs, and at times this season when they were completely healthy looked as deep as any team.

Wait, does Draymond not know life or ball?
*****
“What Anthony Edwards has taken those guys and done is absolutely amazing,” Green said, via The Draymond Green Show. “Like Rudy’s actually not trash anymore. A lot of people agree, he defends now… But I mean like when you see him on the switches he’s up at the level, he’s not just sitting back at the drop anymore. When he gets switched on to the guy, it’s like his antennas pop on, like oh I got to sit down they’re about to go at me and guard them. “I think it’s been interesting to watch because he is actually impacting winning and he’s actually doing that on the defensive end where as opposed to other series he’s gotten played off the floor.” – via Clutch Points
