Spoke with their chest out..loud and wrong.
Don't really care for Rudy the person, but the narrative carried over from previous years on his play was way way wrong for the Rudy on this '23-'24 team. I seen you though...

Minnesota is built just like the 2020 Lakers
3 Impact Bigs - KAT/Rudy/Naz…..a la AD/McGee/Dwight
Leading Scorer and playmaker - Edwards, a la Bron
Veteran Battle Tested Clutch Floor General playing with something to prove - Conley, a la Rondo
All kinds of two-way wing players and guards with a nice mix of veterans and youth - Caruso, KCP, Kuzma, DGreen, Kieff….. a la Alexander-Walker, McDaniels, Anderson, Warren, Morris
Meanwhile the Lakers did the opposite while top teams like BOS, MIN, DEN, DAL all continued building bigger frontcourts and copied the Lakers’ 2020, Raptors’ 2019, and Bucks’ 2021 championship formulas, and got better.

So, their outgoing unprotected picks might actually be worth something afterall?

Terrible matchup in hindsight.
I was nervous because they handled 'Sota in the regular season. There was something always off about those L's, but when 2 of their big 3 was cookin', the Wolves got cooked.
Defense was turned up a notch and I joke, but Grayson going down was big, in reality. Suns don't have the depth to compete.
Trade away 2 of the big 3(I hate calling them that because two of them are past prime) and stack up on assets.

The suns do not own a first round pick for the rest of the decade, it’ll be interesting to see what they do

Wolves need to finish this...Suns getting hot from 3 is an ominous sign for game 4.

EYE was calling the Lakers/Dubs matchup the midbowl all season.
Only there delusional fanbases thought those teams were championship caliber.
EYE was definitely wrong about the Wolves though.
Thought they would go fully goofy between KAT and Goober and as much as EYE like Ant thought he would turn into dark skinned Tatum in late game situation.
EYE really thought the Phoenix "Big 3" and their supporting cast would be enough to overcome them.
These dudes have punched Phoenix in the mouth from the Game 1 tipoff and haven't looked byke.
Their series with Denver should be fun.
Yeah trading away these guys seems to be the only path forward.

You aint getting off Beal without taking something just as bad or worse back.
You trade KD and Book says he’s out. It’s full blown shambles.

Fine not the worst trade in history, you can rest easy“Gobert trade is the WORST IN NBA HISSSSTOWWWWWWY”
We will see how the towns thing pans out though and see just how real their series was with Denver last year
Still a lot to be sorted but getting towns back healthy this season was clearly crucial for their improvement
You might be right but Book doesn't seem like that type of cat to me. He's young enough to where they can do a soft rebuild and he'll still be in his prime when the team is ready to complete. You're spot on about Beal... Trading for him made no sense to begin with ESPECIALLY if you watched his last two years in Washington.

All good, fam...I don't remember most names who posted what I'm referring to anyway or else I'd @ them...just speaking on the consensus.

Vincent Van Goat
and
B Sox
are wrong about 'Sota's Rudy, but overall they're savvy posters...the Lakers/GSW stuff was delusion a plenty. The Tatum-Laker connection runs deep... He's gonna be a Laker eventually. KD is a dark horse tho. I feel like he's obtainable if we're aggressive with pursuing him.

Pleighboi, this isn't eem plausible in 2K.
EYE think Pelinka will try to swing big and bring in another superstar to form a new Big 3 which will in turn leave the Lakers looking for players on the margin to fill out the roster.
GOODT! luck.

I don’t think I’ve ever said Goober wasn’t a really good defender (even though he kinda looked like trash last year)All good, fam...I don't remember most names who posted what I'm referring to anyway or else I'd @ them...just speaking on the consensus.

Just said he wasn’t the best.
But him and McDaniels and Ant have been fantastic on that end.
If making it out of the first round of the playoffs is as far as they get, I’m still gonna think the trade was stupid as hell.
It's definitely possible if we trade the right people away...Pleighboi, this isn't eem plausible in 2K.

From how rudy looked last year- I couldn’t help but to go all in on the slander. Lord knows wavy would have piled on if Mitchell had the same type of yearAll good, fam...I don't remember most names who posted what I'm referring to anyway or else I'd @ them...just speaking on the consensus.

To Rudy’s credit he and the wolves recovered nicely this season with towns back healthy
Like I said, now we see how real their matchup was with Denver last year. If they lose towns and can’t replace him with pieces and go out sad to Denver….
You gonna get hit with some counter punches bruv

Team was rarely full health at the same time last season. Rudy and KAT especially needed to gel. By the time they were ready to roll, Naz busts his wrist and Jaden punches a concrete wall....both miss the Denver series.
They are gonna be much more tougher on Denver this time around and Denver's bench is weaker while the Wolves' got better (both via health and the season-long emergence of NAW).
I have a sturdy chin. I'm ready...
