KD is 2-4 in playoff series since leaving the Warriors. Not great.

Wolves coach Finch injured in sideline collision

Timberwolves coach Chris Finch was helped off the court late in his team's series-clinching win over the Suns with a ruptured patellar tendon in his right knee after Mike Conley collided with him on the sideline.

Booker with Brunson and Julius? That is a lot of shot requirements.

I'm thinking that would involve moving Randle. He has a player option for the 25/26 season and is then a free agent.

Trying to force feed an injured Leonard into the rotation is hurting the Clippers.

This needs to happen to a few of the on the court college coaches.

With Phoenix washing out, I saw this article asking whether this marks the end of the "Super Team Era". Seems to me that collective bargaining agreement changes have made it near impossible for it to work. You just can't build a good roster around 3 super-guys, on super money.

Suns tried to build a superteam for an NBA that no longer exists

Talent no longer trumps all in the 2024 NBA, and the Suns have a bleak future because of it

You’re a game late and a dollar short.

Just read on Twitter than Devin Booker would like to leave the Suns for the Knicks this summer.

If they could make it work, think of Brunson at PG, Booker at SG, Annunoby at SF, Julius Randle at PF, and their rotation of Mitchell Robinson & Hartenstein at C. Josh Hart, DiVincenzo, Deuce. That's a pretty good foundation. You swap out some bench guys to make the roster work.

They might be looking for a third (or better) center, but I think the 2 guys they have fits Thibs culture.

Yikes. That could be a contender.

Never mind. I had absolutely no idea he was on $55M a year with six years left on his contract. He has zero leverage, and no one will be able to afford him.

Fwiw, Randle/Bogdanovic for Booker works in the trade machine. (Booker has 4 years left on his contract, starting with next season). Not advocating one way or another (ok i would love to have Booker) but that's the framework of a trade is all I'm saying

Denver is asleep. Malone is going to lay into them at halftime.

Nah, they know they can toy with the Lakers until crunch time.

KCP injury is significant. Denver bench is not good at all.

Not watching. What happened?

Lakers Nuggets is ending up pretty fantastic.

Rolled his ankle early. Clearly in pain. Eventually did come back but that’s gonna be painful tomorrow. He’s an important role player in that starting lineup.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Also… that game was insane. Murray in the playoffs is truly a different player.

Aaron Gordon’s board over Lebron was the difference. Massive

Lakers in 8 I guess.

I know the Lakers lost 4-1 but I thought they actually played very well in that series.

I thought Denver toyed with them for the most part and played their B minus ball. They'll have to step it up to beat who's left in the west.

Murray another big playoff moment.

Dude's weird.

Phoenix would have to get more back than that though don't you think? I am not a huge Randle guy but they would need to get something better than that.

I think Minnesota is going to beat Denver. Something seems off with Denver this year and Porter was excellent in the Laker series and I don't see that continuing.

They may also get a pick or two out of it, but the biggest thing would be substantial cap relief, IMO.
