With the trade deadline coming up, *if* the Warriors trade Wiseman and Moody (disclaimer: not advocating), they'll still need a center who fits their system to split time with Loon. Haven't watched enough Minny ball, but based on recent games against them, Naz Reid could be a good long-term answer - athletic, defends, rebounds, finishes inside, hits the occasional 3. He could probably crack the rotation and provide insurance as a big. https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1619530004156776448?
He's looking for 10M / year in an extension, less than Wise would make next year.
Of course, it would have to be a 3-team trade or separate trades, as the Wolves already have KAT and Gobert, and don't want to pay 10+M to a third center. I think they are looking for Wings.
So Moody to Minny for Reid, who only makes 2M this year, + a min contract like Bryn Forbes? Too much? Too little? Wiseman would have to go for an expiring or to a team under the cap for maybe a future pick, or be kept until after the season.
I don't know whether MN wants to trade Reid for Moody but we are talking about the Wolves, and we have memorably mugged them in a trade before, as the Jazz did (even more so), so anything's possible.
I don't have the impression that the FO wants to trade Wiseman as a salary dump. They might package him in a bigger trade in order to get value. And we don't need late 1st round or 2nd round picks. We have lots of young 'uns even without MM and JW.
I'm glad the Warriors blew out the Thunder last night so that OKC could rest their starters and save their energy for tonight's win against the Lakers.
This is supposedly the greatest basketball player or heir apparent to MJ? What a pathetic display of a grown man having a tantrum over a regular season game. If that was Draymond, he would have gotten a T or an ejection.
Watching Isaiah Joe, I know Philly fans are sick they waived him at the start of the season. He has made a leap in efficiency, 46% from the field and 45 % from three. Good on OKC picking him right on up.
Warriors won when Curry broke the three point record last season. As for the Lakers, it felt like everyone except Westbrook gave up in the 4th quarter after Lebron broke the scoring record.
OK so I saw a list of the all-time holders of the record of most careers points in the NBA. Joe Fulks is first, 1946-1952. My question is, how did that work? Did they stop the game every time he hit a bucket? Did they have to start from his very first bucket ever? When George Mikan eventually overtook him, did they stop the game and have Fulks come out? When Dolph Schayes broke it next, did Mikan have to come out for that, AND Fulks came out? Is it all living previous record holders who come out, or just the most recent one? And when Kuminga gets it, will LeBron have to be there?
Lakers shot the ball 57.6%, made 14/31 threes, and made 18/26 FTs, but they had 21 turnovers. Thunder shot the ball 52.1%, made 17/34 threes, and made 18/20 FTs. They had 13 turnovers.
That’s just all kinds of wrong. Their record would be 41-39… it’s not enough games and it’s 2 games above 0.500, which would put them firmly in the play in. They’re only 2 games behind Utah… they have a pretty good chance getting in with a 15-12 record over the last 27 games.
Once curry set the 3 pt record, he went into a slump. understandabe with how much emotion goes into that moment that the following games probably just lack the intensity record setting games do.
I wonder if the Lakers hit the skids now for similar reasons.
LeBron sat out the last few minutes of the game with a foot injury… announcers were talking about it having bothered him all game. I think he might be out for a little while having set the record…

Cam Thomas though.. I can root for the nets once they trade away KD

The E1P celebration audits have a competitor in this epic anti-celebration audit:

Pretty funny.
"...twenty fourrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..."

You dont need to go as far as Philly fans with the feeling sick
OKC could be really good next year.

Westbrook never gives up or lives up.
AD was disappointing tonight. Only 13 points in 30 minutes??? What was he doing out there?
Being AD

No, when Kuminga gets, it, Cam Thomas will be there.
To watch Wembanyama congratulate him, did you mean?
Now Kareem is getting a nice chance to talk :)
And of course they flub the broadcast and have LBJ saying "Hey girl" over Kareem's words. Jeebus!
Another night, another irrelevant NBA spectacle. The real game happens tomorrow. Me a fanboy?
😎
Good night y’all.
Lol. Right?
"Patrick, again...."

Well... you shouldn't have been SS&R. That was your error, lol
Wonder how much LeBron cares they lost vs setting the record.
Not a LeBron fan, but he's not that guy. You're thinking about Kobe
the same kobe with more titles than lebron without changing teams?
Toooo be fair, LeBron didnt get to start his career with prime Shaq and Kobe did make a trade demand during the post-Shaq/pre-Pau era...
Thunder beat the Lakers 133-130.
Thunder moves to 26-28 while the Lakers fall to 25-30.

In order to hit skids you have to not already be under them.
Shit talking at its finest 👌

Thunder tryin to choke this away
On the one hand, Westbrook is stupid because they need a three there. On the other, who's gonna hit that three?
He did it again, lol
Westy is the ultimate garbage time warrior
This was always going to be the price to pay for Lebron to break the record.
Milestone curse
Absolutely love the wet fart goin on here with LeBron breaking the scoring record.
