i was looking at Lowry's statistics, and I didn't realize he has been a 40% shooter from behind the arc the last 2 seasons. Back when he came to Houston, he averaged 27% the first two seasons. I knew he had gotten into the mid 30s, but never expected him to be a 40% shooter. And thats with his attempts dramatically increased. Pretty impressive improvement.

The Rockets have been trying to pry Rubio away for like a decade and that's all it takes to get him?

Free Throw percentage will feel slightly less important when you're in the playoffs this coming post-season and you're not depending on getting to the line for your points :getin:

Remember that one time when Shabazz was considered a top 5 pick.

He's still an NBA player and over-achieved vs where they picked him. He's probably worth right around the QO, but it probably doesn't make sense for the Wolves to be the ones to pay it.

Literally no one has said that. There is a 10 year gap between him and KAT, that's a legit thing to consider.

That would be a decent place for him. He's a super weird player but a lot of fun.

Pacers should sign Rondo so they get two alphas with him and Lance.

Yeah wasn't the reason that Hill worked so well last year is because he was deadeye from outside? Not really sure how this helps the Jazz all that much, maybe it hoodwinks Hayward into staying and it's all worth it though

who's even available that can fill Iguodala's role on the Warriors if he leaves? I guess they can promote McCaw into those sixth man minutes but that's still a downgrade

No. and they'd be left with no Lebron Sized Humans except Draymond and that is not an ideal use of Dray. It's a big blow (provided this means he's likely to leave, which given his cryptic earlier comments seems likely) but luckily for them they have a long way to fall



So Orland still doesn't have a plan, cool cool that's great 😁

And he could play off ball really well although that being an issue depends on getting Hayward back. But yeah Rubio on a team that already struggled with spacing seems real bad

that is not Kyle Lowry

I want to see the Timberwolves of all people land the best players from two other teams during the off season. that's some Warriors/Spurs/Rockets/Lebron poo poo.

and then i want them to apologize to KG while I'm asking for moderately unrealistic things

not sure if I'd call a 27 year old "fast developing" but whatever, the final O in his name instead of a typical A makes him easily worth the cash
