lavines about to put 40+ on us at this rate. on some kobe type ish there
Smart boy Lavine. He made his case. Now he´s missing cause he knows when don´t have the assets to pay for Michael Jordan.
I still can´t get over the fact that we didn´t throw the max at him, the summer we had nothing and were utter trash.
Yeah, that was smart puting THJ on their best scorer to get him going from the start... He has been absolutely terrible on both ends.
As soon as Brunson went out, the offense seemed to bog down
the Boban
ok THJ! I see you. (i was yeling in my head at that shot attempt the whole time lol) but nice completion.
Oh, nice anticipation by Johnson!
Terrible defensive performance again.

My goodness Zach Lavine is so good.
He makes it look effortless, he would be so damn lethal with Luka given the types of double teams Luka gets.

Nah. Chicago is showcasing LaVine in hopes to trade him for Brunson.
Brunson can score and these kind of performance won´t go unnotice, when he becomes a FA. He´s 6´1 but he can really score from 2pt range.

I haven’t been sold on Lavine in the absence of also getting a larger strong defender to go on the wing (someone like Aaron Gordon), but man he’s making me think harder about it tonight
Brunson is too good to be reduced to playing behind Luka, which will unfortunately be his destiny in Dallas. Mavs should trade him for value in positions of need. Great he got opportunity to show he is actually very good.

He is a scoring machine. He plays zero defense and shows zero hustle, but boy can he score.
You know dayum well THJ can't alley oop dunk.

Yep, having that elite additional playmaker would potentially solve a ton of those late game offensive woes, but would it exacerbate defensive ones?
THJ is a minus defender but gives good effort, and swapping THJ for Lavine in the lineup would clearly be more of a net positive, but if you have to give up DFS, Maxi, etc the projectable benefit becomes less clear to me.
Zach Lavine audition seems to be going well.
I can't believe Sinclair still hasnt reached an agreement. FML
Powell can jump as high as Luka.
Powell seems to be wincing in pain. Sat down looking like he ran the Boston marathon.
Ah, the return of the phantom foul.
