Timberwolves Hands down

Tossup between LA and Minnsota.

Russell, Clarkson, Ingram, and Randle is really nice four-some.

Wiggins, Dunn, Towns, Dieng, Lavine are hard to beat.

But, the Lakers are in the conversation.

Ps. You forgot Zu-BLOCKA!!!!

Wiggins and Towns are the Wolves youngsters that really impress me. Dunn is a rookie (I'll wait to judge him) and Lavine (despite being a former Bruin) may flame out as just a freak athlete but not much else. Lavine made 39% of his 3's but he has no mid range game to speak of. He made 34.9% of his shots from 3-10 feet, 30.2% on 10-16, and 35.2% on 16-<3

RIP Nate Thurmond.

Who is Joel Okafor?

OT: Twolves got this. Bucks as close 2nd. Sixers and Lakers for 3rd. If Embiid gets healthy, with Simmons, I'd put them over Lakers unquestionably.

Ingram hasn't played yet. Russell was very up and down last year. Have to see more from Clarkson who will compete with Russell for PT.

Pretty clearly T-Wolves right now. That could change after this season.

Nance Jr and Zubac are good young backups too

Nance Jr and Zubac are good young backups too

I know it's just SL but they both looked great. Zubac averaged almost 3bpg and looked solid. He may be ready to start within 2, maybe 3 seasons and I think he'll be a solid backup from Day One. Black may see more time as the 3rd string PF.

As far as I can see the top 'bigs' on the Lakers will be Mozgov, Randle, Zubac, Nance and Black. They should all be getting significant minutes.

Is Sacre still around?!?

Looks like he's gone, @Shaqdaddy11

God I hope so! I liked his effort but he was absolutely useless

He's going to sign for cheap. Probably whatever the new minimum is. I agree.....he hustles hard and puts in the effort but he just doesn't get the results you expect. He's a classic 11th or 12th guy.

Makes a good cheerleader on the bench too

He could join the Laker girls to best utilize his talents.

@Shaqdaddy11 AND @shopson67 ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH THIS AM!!!!

Think we talked about this before (on the Rams thread?) but I wanna visit Rochester 1 day.....I want to try some of the food they have there.

Off topic alert.....

















I look so pretty holding that sign....

Is Rochester that well known for food? I guess there's some good late-night drinking food, like the garbage plate. If you want to count Buffalo in the "Western NY" mix, there's buffalo wings, beef on weck (roast beef on kummelweck roll), sponge candy, etc. I remember talking to some people at Woodstock '99 and was surprised they didn't know what white (pork) hots, spiedies, salt potatoes, or garbage plates were lol.
