Pistons wanted to draft Reaves, but Reaves and his agent told them no. Rather go undrafted so he could control his situation.

Suns on Wednesday. Keep them off the 3 point line. Stop completely collapsing on P&Rs which is what ended up happening tonight to give the Magic open shots. Make them battle inside and settle for midrange shots if they want to score.
Since KD went down, if they are not killing it from 3, they struggle.

Would be nice if Ayton sat out (hip), but we know how that goes...

On another note, Lakers keep floating they want to bring DLo / Reaves / Rui back throughout the media. Would love to see it.

The Wolves next 6 is brutal
@ Knicks
vs Hawks (Hawks B2B, Detroit is Game 1. Hawks battling to stay out of the play-in)
@ Warriors
@ Kings (Wolves B2B)
@ Suns
@ Lakers
Even with Ant maybe coming back (he's day-to-day, my guess is he misses Knicks, questionable for the Hawks) they could possibly lose every one of these games over the next 11 days.

All the while waiting for the team savior: an 38 yr old dinosaur. We cooked.Tie game in the 4th and we have our "franchise" guy setting screens for the undrafted Free Agent to close the game.
But we'll be doomed for a decade if we trade the screen setter for multiple first round picks.

Adjusted goal expectation for the regular season is to get the 7-8th seed by play-ins. With Lebron back by then we have a good chance to at least win 1 of 2 games to get in the playoffs.
Also we'll have the benefit of knowing who the 2nd seed is by then and potentially preferred match-ups and brackets (speaking from a fan perspective - the team needs to just play who's in front of them and handle their business)

Tristan is only 32 
He can thrive in a specific role
We know he can box out and get a few rebounds in 8 minutes
Not allowing 2-3 offensive rebounds can be the difference in a game

AR used to be a cute story..but he was legit our closer tonight - with the LAKERS playoff hopes hanging in the balance. Obv not going to expect this from him every night but he's really turned himself into a legit player in this league.
On the flip side if this don't motivate AD to be better and if he starts sulking, then yea better show us what you're really made of now so we can get rid of you sooner than later.

One could hope it’s to get Beasley out of the rotation.
By moving everybody else down a position.

7 spot is our ceiling. OKC will tank the last 10. And Minny will slide without Ant.

6 is still in play. But will require them to rattle off 6-7 in a row at this point.

Think we’d have to beat the Suns twice in order to do so. Just can’t see it based on our recent play.
