Denver should win but I think people are going to be a bit surprised at how poor their defense is....been suspect all year even when healthy

Also I think after Minnesota loses this is going to be the official beginning of their fall to mediocrity and having to deal wirh the consequences the Gobert trade

I really have no idea how they get better and move into the next iteration of their team by putting a second star next to Edwards

I actually don’t think moving Gobert should be all that hard considering he makes 35ish mil for 2 years

The real person that would need to get moved to help facilitate someone next to Edwards is Randle and another guy and draft capital I assume

But ehh let’s not get ahead of things, let’s see the wolves lose first

What draft capital lol?

They did the same thing the Pelicans did with Anthony Davis except it worked out since they made two conference finals

Have a young player that's really good early on so you go all in and blow your cap space and assets but when they actually reach their prime and are really ready to win you don't have a way to add pieces and young players to grow with

The only way they can realistic do anything is by trading Jaden McDaniels which is something they dont want to do


Its over
