If we could pull that off and then try to trade for Grant from Detroit with the #23 pick attached to Conley. That’s a pretty athletic bunch and all we gave was Royce, trade exceptions and then that pick with Conley. Unless I missed something, we keep Mitchell, Bogey, Gobert and Clarkson and...

The age factor is a big thing. My concern with both he and Wade is I’m not sure yet how much “skin” they truly have in the game. I know Wade is a part owner, though I don’t know how much and he still spends a lot of time with the Heat organization it seems to me. On the other hand, we have to...

Yeah that one really hurt, especially because Kawhi had played so much in the Mountain West Conference so we’d seen what he could do. Once Jimmer was drafted I thought we’d take Kawhi for sure.

This would be the one to jump on IMO, but it's just them playing with the trade machine.

I agree. It’s just where I’d start if and when they call. That’s where hopefully the Ainge factor kicks in with regard to negotiation tactics and added pieces can be arranged to make it work. Our previous GMs seemed to set us/themselves up at a disadvantage or didn’t negotiate tactically from...

In my opinion to deal with Charlotte we get and keep Oubre, Washington, their two picks this year and a future lightly protected first round pick for taking and then moving Hayward. Why Charlotte does this? Rudy gets them to the playoffs

I agree. For whatever reason, it seems like it’s all pass or all score when we need it to vary, sometimes within a quarter. I love his tenacity, when he gets that look and is talking to himself, I just wish he would fake us all out like he did last night with Rudy more often and pass rather than...

Also, does anyone know why we aren’t using Rudy to set a high screen for Don on the pick and roll to get Finney-Smith off of him? Donovan has been flying by everyone else but him and Rudy is supposed to be the best screen assist guy out there, plus it collapses the defense allowing Don to pass...

It’s also why we really need Mitchell to figure out when to pass and when to shoot. He’s still in the hero ball mindset most of the time when he should be looking to draw defenders and then kick.

It’s true and yet imagine the backlash if Luka had his minutes diminished because of it. I’d love to have him next to Donovan and Rudy.

I sure hope people are screaming at Luka. I can’t stand him, to me he’s nothing more than Westbrook or Harden in their big years. Great numbers but hasn’t really accomplished anything, however I get he’s young.

The irony is that play is open many times per game

Rudy has to kick it out fast

68% in the clutch is a good number? Crazy NC State math there Thurl.

Rudy has to finish that

Are we sure nothing is going on with Donovan’s shooting wrist with the wrap? His shot has been really bad all series and much of the end of the season.

We can’t buy a three. I don’t get it. Conley is absolutely killing me.

The sad thing is I’m pretty sure they’re both playing Candyland but Kidd has realized this after his previous coaching situations and accepts help while Quinn does not and thinks he’s playing chess as a grandmaster.

Hard to argue with that stat line. To help with efficiency I would probably have him just bring the ball up and run pick and roll with Rudy while Bogey is in his preferred spot, Mike in his and Royce, House, Juancho, etc in his. The way Don was getting to the rim yesterday was great and with...

I know now it’s meaningless but why wouldn’t we initiate the offense for that last play where Mitchell shot? Seems like we could have gotten a better shot and milked the clock more. Just little things like that need to be fixed in my opinion.
