    Yeah. I didn’t watch DVC in NY last year. NY definitely didn’t lose this trade, MN seems like lower odds of this being a good tradeoff for them. Unless Randle is exactly the same quality and fits the team, or they get super lucky on a mid first round pick, they basically gave away a big piece for multiple less good pieces.




  • My first thought was MN won, but didn’t know Randle was hurt. Randle coming off injury and surgery is a pretty big gamble to take trading one of the top 3pt shooters in the entire league, forget among centers. In a league where it’s more valued each year, giving that up is enormous.

    Divencezo, yes shooting 3 is great and a scrappy defender is high value but now who plays with/off Rudy?

    Towns was kind of the odd man out in the playoffs with MN, his skills are wild but can see why MN let him go.
















  • Uh or people could not subject themselves to whatever shit commercials Sinclair will throw in their games;

    “A 2019 study in the American Political Science Review found that “stations bought by Sinclair reduce coverage of local politics, increase national coverage and move the ideological tone of coverage in a conservative direction relative to other stations operating in the same market”.[4][5] The company has been criticized by journalists and media analysts for requiring its stations to broadcast packaged video segments and its news anchors to read prepared scripts that contain pro-Trump editorial content, including warnings about purported “fake news” in mainstream media, while Trump has tweeted support for watching Sinclair over CNN and NBC.[6][7][8][9][10]”

    The blazers aren’t going to play memorable basketball for a long time and subjecting oneself to Sinclair’s toxic shit isn’t worth that.
