@Timberwolves thoughts. I love Lamelo (if healthy) on this team and alongside Ant. I do not love the idea of Jaden at the 4. I'd guess we try to add a 4 or two to the roster. I have no idea who we could afford that actually would fit in and be good. We seem very shallow atm.
A Derrick White for Rudy Gobert trade would be awesome. Hopefully that would allow a lot more Beringer minutes. I think we still need to get off Randle for the vibes and effort side of the house, and also to see Naz finally in the starting 4 spot.
I'm a little surprised that the Spurs are being favored over the Knicks. They went to 6 and 7 games against two very injured teams. I think a healthy Knicks team can win this in 5 or 6. Wemby is great, but hasn't faced a front court nearly as good as OG, Kat, and Robinson.
Love all the course corrections by NBA media, but the take was right in front of you the whole time. You just don't know ball... And shout out again to @KarlTowns 2 more to go big fella.

Once again, so happy for KAT. One of my favorite Wolves to watch. For a player of his caliber, he's got no ego. Team first player. Has now gone to three consecutive conference finals and an NBA final as a result. Will be rooting for you @KarlTowns !
@DaneMooreNBA@KyleTheige Dane, I know you are trying to be specific on criticisms of Julius but we can see the change in effort and consistency in the 2 years he's been here. Either the previous seasons (with KAT) were an anomaly or our attitudes changed since his arrival. It's not healthy for this team
Mike Conley type would be perfect. We'll see what our front office comes up with, but I think we need to be comfortable with getting a little worse for a season or two if it means we can build something better in the future. 3/3
Post season @Timberwolves thoughts. Nothing to be sad about we ended exactly where we should, the 3rd best team in the West. This roster cannot beat the top two teams as constructed. Finding a true point guard to pair with Ant and some shooting in our front court starters to 1/
help spread the floor should be our areas on emphasis. We might need to tear down some pillars to make it happen. I don't believe in Ant and Julius sharing the floor. And I also don't like the Julius Rudy pairing. I don't think we have the PG we need on this roster. A younger 2/
This is the SGA effect. The two top teams in the @nba now do this all the time. If the @NBA doesn't care about flopping and in fact rewards it, this is the league we get. I love that our guys don't do this crap, but it is unpleasant to watch this creep into the league.
Julius no show again and Jaden foul trouble. We don't really ever win those games. Can't really afford to have either in the playoffs, let alone both. I just can't see a place for Julius in a league where OKC and the Spurs are the top teams. Finch gotta figure it out or go.
Maybe someone should show him clips of Anthony Edwards getting fouled and no called for the past 6 years. Sure he complains a lot, but never seen him try to decapitate another player.
Mitch Johnson on Wemby's ejection:
"I'm glad he took matters into his own hands. Not in terms of hitting Naz Reid, I want to be very clear about that. I'm glad Naz Reid is okay ... but [Wemby's] going to have to protect himself if [the refs] are not. The amount of physicality that people play with, with him, at some level, you have to protect yourself."
Notice that they didn't call most of them (probably because it was the Lakers) and they still crushed the Lakers. I really don't think they need all his flopping to win, but it sure makes watching them play miserable.
