@DietBeginsMon who gives a shit about how good he is all time. What is 32 year old Giannis on the extension of 4/275 mil for the wizards? That does nothing for them.

@G_Reg_88 I mean Giannis is like the….30th best player who’s ever lived? and they would be getting the 10th pick back? And all their other picks?

No brainer for the Wizards

@DietBeginsMon This is how you destroy promising outlooks, adding big name money just cuz you have cap space is casual ball knowledge. Take a look at the spurs and thunder.

@G_Reg_88 Washington has like an infinite amount of cap Space man what are you talking about

@DietBeginsMon between your Ja take earlier and now this, you rly need to brush up on player and contract value. Hit the books pls and report back.

@G_Reg_88 Getting pick 10 back makes it an absolute no brainer as long as Giannis is willing to sign there

@DietBeginsMon @Jerry7goda they need to get creative, outside the box - look into taking on what might be considered worse contracts for picks this year on plug and play guys.

@Jerry7goda @G_Reg_88 I think the Suns are a real target but the only trade that really makes sense there is Jalen green, who I think I would rather bet on Ja over (although maybe Memphis would be more interested in green than Randle)

It really is hard to see exactly how the Wolves can get meaningfully better next year

@APH00PS @Timberwolves

Darius Acuff Jr. on the leadership he’ll bring to a franchise: “I’m a guy that’s not scared to speak up. You got vets in the NBA that are scared to say something. I don’t feel like I’m that guy. I’m the quarterback of the team and the team goes how I go.”

@DietBeginsMon @Jerry7goda not sure how that relates to Ja Morant or anything we are talking about - but yay, gold star for you?

@G_Reg_88 @Jerry7goda I have been right about Randle since the day we traded for him lmfao

@DietBeginsMon @Jerry7goda It’s okay to admit you’re wrong.

@G_Reg_88 @Jerry7goda Yes it is - we are not going to get an offer that makes us obviously better for Randle and few teams are going to be interested in him at all

@DietBeginsMon @Jerry7goda not even close to the same problem.

@G_Reg_88 @Jerry7goda This is the same problem Julius Randle has except he doesn’t have the ceiling Ja Morant does

@DietBeginsMon @Jerry7goda Why have 29 other NBA teams had zero interest in trading for a 27 year old former MVP who could be had for dog shit contracts the last 2 years?

@G_Reg_88 @Jerry7goda Yeah I am interested in buying low on former MVP candidates who aren’t even 27 yet - your point is?

@DietBeginsMon @Jerry7goda MVP candidate in 2021 😂

@G_Reg_88 @Jerry7goda He was an mvp candidate when right and I would rather bet on that - if you like betting on the fat loser by all means but that guy is hopeless

@DietBeginsMon @Jerry7goda Ya I guess - if you set aside the fact that he doesn't play, is 6'2, cant shoot, cant defend, and would be played off the court by the spurs and thunder.

@G_Reg_88 @Jerry7goda I don’t think that - I think it’s a better bet than Julius Randle

@DietBeginsMon @Jerry7goda Well that's just factually incorrect. Big picture on this pretty funny you think Ja Morant, who has played in 79 games in the last 3 years, fallen off a cliff performance wise, and is a miserable human being - is a good move for a team trying to win a championship.

@G_Reg_88 @Jerry7goda It makes it easier to move him cause he’s just an expiring contract at that point - a DPE doesn’t help a team trying to win a title - Donte doesn’t make enough to get any value out of that

@DietBeginsMon @Jerry7goda Did you not read what I just said or do you not know what a DPE is. There’s no reason to trade Donte.

@G_Reg_88 @Jerry7goda “Show me the package if it’s so easy” You can use google too man

@DietBeginsMon @Jerry7goda Show me the package if it’s so easy. How would donte not playing make a trade easier? They will get a DPE for his contract if he’s on the roster and not playing , why would they trade him?

@G_Reg_88 @Jerry7goda It’s pretty easy to make work especially when you consider Donte is not playing next year and we’re unlikely to resign him due to the cba and tax issue you highlight

@DietBeginsMon @Jerry7goda I would think that someone who considers themselves an elite ball knower such as your self would understand the CBA and luxury tax.

@Jerry7goda Randle for Ja Trust your young guys: Naz and Jaden to step up as front court scorers, give the bench scoring keys to Shannon and Ayo - give 20-25mpg to Joan

@LoserWalking @Timberwolves Gotta get up to top 7 somehow if we want Acuff

@Timberwolves Acuff Morez Anderson

@TimGarrisonMN No better fit in draft than him - I’d be doing everything could to move up if I was TC

Welp, my #1 target for the Timberwolves is no longer under the radar. I’d bet he gets himself up to the teens. Shame, he’d be an ideal long term solution at the 4 and could immediately step into the rotation next year. Such a great combination of high floor and NBA readiness with length and athleticism.

@TimGarrisonMN @hallzi43 good call - pretty clean cap for the next couple years, would work rly well with their timelines. just spit balling without money involved but .. Gobert + #28 for #14, #18, etc is interesting

@G_Reg_88 @hallzi43 Charlotte could make a ton of sense.

I think taking a shot at Kyrie could help, but I’m not sure if there’s a pathway to him. Maybe an option like rehabbing Dejounte Murray could turn a negative asset into a positive. The whiff on Rob really hurts. Having an extra 1st would open quite a few more doors in terms of feasibly trading for a 2nd option.

@hallzi43 @TimGarrisonMN or another team does and you redirect him for picks or a better roster fit.

@G_Reg_88 @TimGarrisonMN The market would be there. But with Atlanta concerned. I guess you would have to really like Risarcher.
