I would trade MPJ for Lavine in a heartbeat if I were the Nuggets, christ the guy did a idiotic turnover than pretended his shoulder was hurt leading to a dagger.

A healthy playoff Leonard Im taking over any player including LeBron, Jokic, Curry, Giannis, what he lacks in playmaking he just overcomes with absurd shot making and defense. While his career overall is no where near those guys his peak is above.

Eh, idiotic turnovers are kind of LaVine's specialty. Gordon missed an open dunk. Jokic missed free throws and made silly turnovers himself. Lot of self inflicted wounds caught up with the Nuggets.

Just remembered that the Nuggets were reportedly looking to get LaVine for Murray earlier this season when he looked like he forgot to play basketball. If Nuggets shake up things in the summer and a similar situation comes up, I would trade LaVine for Murray in a heartbeat.

The others in question don't need any such qualifiers to be considered great.

The rumor was Lavine for MPJ but was supposedly vetoed by the owner. I dunno, they are both excellent shooting, below average defending, injury history players. Lavine is a much better scorer. MPJ a better rebounder. MPJ younger.
 
What’s the over under on McDaniels fouls and when the first time Minnesota will draw a foul?

I got McDaniels picking up two in less than 5 minutes
 
Randle iso ball is some of the worst basketball I have ever watched, the man has tunnel vision like no one i have ever seen, he would be a nightmare to play with.
 
Shout out to my League Pass subscription for coming through in the clutch, because I don't get NBA TV.

Public Service Announcement: make sure that your internet search engine of choice has SafeSearch turned on before you try to look up sideline reporter Kristina Pink. :oops:
 
The Bearded Hag is on a heater: he scored 11 points in just over two minutes, and had a sweet behind-the-back pass to Batum for the last field goal of the quarter.
 
Kawhi Leonard is probably the best in the league at squaring his body up in midair to get a clean shot at the basket. It's just so smooth.
 
Clips are legit. A reminder things can turn quickly for a franchise. Helps that the Klaw is healthy obviously, but they have been good all year with out him

Zubac has basically played Joker to a push in the first half. Nuggets have no chance if that keeps up, even with Leonard having an uncharacteristically off night.
 
What an absolute collapse. Thunder deserve credit but this was on the Grizz. Essentially no scoring for 4 or 5 minutes to end the game.
