No they broke up a team they couldn't afford. Randle was just the accessory that made it happen. |

I expect the TWolves to be better later on, but I ultimately think they'll be worse than last year because KAT is just better than Randle. And with how hard it is to fit Randle onto teams with established top options, I don't think DDV is enough to bridge that gap.
KAT may be not an ideal 2nd option, but he's much closer to it than Randle is. |
KAT is light years better IMO. Big down grade for them.
KAT could drift at times but skill wise he has it all and is much better on D. |

Got this feeling KAT was acting like he was shocked and forced this trade to send him out of the West and to his hometown of New York/Jersey |

5-for-effing-30 from three. Starting guards 1-12.
Good grief.

Like you said, KAT is light years better and that's not even considering the fact that as far as fit, his ability to shoot the 3 on high volume is huge when you have an offensive square peg like Gobert. Randle now just exacerbates their spacing issues.

When Bronny was subbed in, thats when the energy in the building changed. The crowd got into it, the players looked motivated.
You wont see that on the stat sheet.

Bronny's statline was "Played 3 minutes".
He doesn't deserve the game ball. Let him actually earn something.

True they moved him to avoid the 100+ million luxury tax, but I would have moved Gobert instead for a Hartenstein or Robinson caliber player. They would not have seen a significant drop off defensively by replacing him. He's a total stiff on offense. A team that prioritizes defense will not have a much success without a solid second option.
I believe KAT is a good #2 on most nights. I just think they had something special last season, and Gobert wasn't really a big part of it IMO.

Anthony (bleep) Davis ma GAWD
This is a huge W even if it's the first game. Schedule these first 5 games is rough. Serously people when was the last time this team had this much movement off ball?
Lebron didn't even exert himself this game which is great.
we cant be this bad at shooting this season....Players need to step up because we have shooters.
Great W. Guards couldn't hit a thing from three but honestly DLO and Reaves played an overall good game. Never seen DLO try that much on defense. |

| So refreshing to see an offense where the ball moves so freely and not everyone standing around and watching LBJ |

The effort as a unit was there and glad they got the W. The energy is really noticeable under our new coach.
Russell will find his groove, but the bench only contributing 19 points is not acceptable. |

Lakers were up by 16 when he subbed in. They never had a lead that large again after Bronny came in. That is on the stat sheet. |

Lol
Since I do hair, particularly a lot of men's grooming I was wondering how long JJ keeps his hair on top in order to style it the way he does. So there it is lol |
