Hoping he's in even moreso that otherwise as I'll be going to the game. Last Clippers game I attended was the play in 2 seasons ago. That was a fun game to attend.

It will be a HUGE bummer if he's not playing as I'd like to see full strength on both sides. I think it will be a fun game but we need Ant to have any shot at winning this one I think.

Good for you Kingsxman, everybody is playing!! About time. Don't forget we need both Ant AND Towns not to mention Conley and Reid. Must hold down the turnovers.
Should be a fun game.

Almost blow a 17 pt lead in the 4th but win in the end. We missed 11 FT's. Stupid turnovers will be the death of us. Ant, Towns and McD had 13 turnovers between them. Tarnished an otherwise great effort.
Rudy was terrific even with the missed FT's.

Fun game. The atmosphere in Target Center has been great all season. It was really good tonight. It was great to see Rudy get the free throw thing under control as the game went on. He is such a game changer on defense. Its fun hearing the crowd change "RUDY! RUDY!" when he's rolling. Ant played more in control but still had more turnovers...but it was better. Really good game from KAT and McD.

Don't Compare Rudy Gobert's Timberwolves To The Utah Jazz...
This is a whole new ball game with a whole new set of defenders.

This is a whole new ball game with a whole new set of defenders. I was assuming the Wolves wouldn’t bring back SloMo but I’m starting to think they keep both him and MC next year. Maybe it would take $20M between them. A-Lore may need to pony up $75M in lux tax but it would be hard to break up this group on defense. They are only getting more cohesive with time. If they go far this year I think the check gets cut.

Maybe it would take $20M between them That seems like a pretty sizable discount. I'm hoping Conley settles for 15. But even that might be low.

One of the things that likely matters is who would be the competition to sign him? There are teams with cap space, but how many of those are viable destinations as far as matching with Conley's priorities? If Mike just wants the most money, then I'm sure he could get it. True contention? Orlando seems like the only playoff caliber team that might prioritize a player like Mike. Philly has space, but Conley and Maxey doesn't seem like a great combo. Houston is similar. Would Conley prioritize money to sign with Detroit, or maybe head back to Utah? I'm not saying Conley should come cheap, but at some point it does have to count that his age limits his production in that he can't play heavy minutes or carry a bigger load of offense.

I think Mike gets a 3 year deal with escalating salary, something like 11-13-15. The hope is that the cap keeps going up 10% a year with the new TV deal. Then maybe Kyle settles for about the same as this year or a little less. His offensive numbers will hold his demand down, but he is uniquely valuable to Minny.

I think that's reasonable number for Mike. Maybe 3 yrs 45 mil? I know he and his family love it here and want to stay.

I dont remember seeing him flop. Harden turned the corner on him and gave a forearm to Kyle's chest to hold him off/push off. Kyle fell down like he was hit by a sniper from the upper deck. No whistle and it was definitely a flop, but I've MUCH worse from Bron, cp3, embiid, etc. on a routine basis.

What small market team was he playing against?
