Out of all the players Ive argued for on Jazzfanz, none make me prouder than Zach Lavine. Dude looks even better coming off an acl tear.

That trade for Jimmy Butler is looking pretty dumb right now. They should have sent Andrew Wiggins packing instead of overpaying him. Probably could have done the trade straight up too. Instead they sent Dunn, Lavine, and Markkanen. Wow, that really looks bad right now.

Where you at @NAOS tard

lol you really think that trading for Jimmy Butler looks dumb ??? The Wolves are 34-24 and just really starting to utilize their talent, primarily because of Jimmy B. Minny was always worse with Lavine on court. Zach's gonna have these big games but he's just dumb as dog doo on defense. Dunn is meh. I don't think either side would be unhappy.

But Jimmy Butler is worth every little bit and more of what they gave up.
 
It will be interesting to see if he can stay healthy. Same thing with Hood.

I wonder how Boston feels now that they know they really don't stand a chance in the east. Hopefully LeBron stays in Cle and obstructs Boston for another 2-3 years.
 
I think the Cavs got way, way better with the trade, both offensively and defensively. Part of it will be the way the players they brought in are used, but IT is unbelievably overrated. I really like both players from the Lakers, and Hill is awesome when healthy. Almost worth that fat contract. And Hood has the ability to really be good, since he's coming into this situation knowing he isn't top dawg.

Boston missing their second best player, who is an all-star. As Corbin would say, it's just one game. Cavs shot lights out and Celtics missed shots. I didn't see great defense from either team, tbh. Both were getting open looks.

And we know Hood wont be back next year. Cavs are at ~$136M before adding in whatever he gets (assuming Lebron opts in at $35M).

meh Celtics are overrated. LBJ will crush them in the playoffs
 
Funny how everybody keeps talking Cavs and Celtics when Nr. 1 team in the East is clearly Raptors. Check their last 5 games... 15 pts or more wins. Their bench is the best in the league, they are not losing that first seed this year.
 
good question .. do the Lakers want to keep and pay him or was he just part of their clearing space ?? And who would pay alot of money to IT now .. ???
 
Danilo Gallinari has been putting up all star numbers since his return,

yes yes, until he gets hurt again

Though you have to give these guys credit, I tweaked my knee yesterday just shooting around alone... Ginobli and these old guys I don't know how they do it, I'm more impressed with Manu and his joints than Tom Brady even, and Manu still throwing down dunks
