Remember Trae also was on minutes restrictions for the final games which we most likely could have won had he played, but it would have required the Bulls to lose their remaining games for us to pass them.

He intimated this before...but first time with this much detail.

Plus this

Donovan Mitchell, among other key players, did not have great confidence in J.B. Bickerstaff moving forward as the Cavaliers’ head coach, per @ShamsCharania (https://nytimes.com/athletic/5508650/2024/05/23/cavaliers-fire-j-b-bickerstaff-coaching-search/…). Bickerstaff will be paid $10 million from Cleveland over the next two years.

OG Anunoby’s contract is expected to reach $35-40 million annually, per @FredKatz (https://nytimes.com/athletic/5505795/2024/05/19/knicks-offseason-keep-culture/…). Anunoby receiving $150+ million this summer isn’t out of the realm of possibilities. All indications are the Knicks will pay Anunoby whatever it takes to re-sign him. I think this will end up being a bad contract once signed. He cannot stay healthy.

The Wizards will make Kyle Kuzma available on the trade market, per @JakeLFischer (https://sports.yahoo.com/76ers-aiming-to-pursue-a-familiar-path-this-offseason-trying-to-add-another-all-star-to-joel-embiid-tyrese-maxey-143720904.html…). Washington was seeking two first-round picks for Kuzma at the trade deadline, but it’s unknown if the price has dropped or not.

One thing holding us back

Nobody remembers that. lol

I don't think he's 12...more like 16. Look at the rest of those other kids, they also don't look 12.

Exactly.

Worry bout yourself Lonzo.

Things change fast in The Association. Kings are gonna Kings...bye bye 2025 1st round pick

Why you confused @macdaddy - Tobias as a viable rotation player on our bench on an MLE deal. I'd take it

Tobias Harris!

Even OO admitted, that some of the things Quin had him doing on defense was new to him. So Quin was changing and tweaking the defense all throughout the season.

US!!!

Iso Yoga!!!

......can't be said enough.

Again - we can't just be a team of thin mints in the front court.

I have been screaming for OO to be the full time starter for the better part of 2 years. The past two trade deadlines I was hoping he would take CC's spot as a starter. Even if not a starter, I wanted him playing more minutes than CC, if not that I wanted him finishing most games. After he signed his extension, I said it was time to see exactly what we have in him as a fulltime starter or getting 30 mpg. He has played his entire rookie season off the bench. At some point we do have to see if he is indeed big enough to hold up for most of the season and at more minutes. I would be happy with 70 games and at least 29 mpg. (He has topped out at 25 mpg so far). I am still waiting for any of the above to happen.

Exactly. We need versatility in our front court to mix and match offense and defense and player profiles. More that anything we need real NBA bodies that can play starter minutes in a pinch.

Anthony Edwards came of the bench for Minny in his first 17 games.

This is his draft profile:
