Kyle Lowry Timberwolves Talk....

[UPSCat4080]

How would this lineup stack up in the West:

Lowry
Butler
Wiggins
KAT
Payne/Aldrich/Dieng

I'm not saying they are on par with the Warriors, but I think they definetly move into the top 4-5 teams only being behind the Warriors, Rockets and Spurs.

 

[kornucopia]

That's a solid core

 

[WildMoon]

Top 3 in west

 

[BleedinBlue85]

Wow. Definitely top 3 if everyone stays healthy

 

[UKcats1988]

Wolves are apparently signing Jeff Teague.

 

[Bobcat94]

The Wolves are setting themselves up for being a contender in a few years. Tons of young talent and cap space.

booooooooooooo

 

[fatguy87]

The Wolves should sign a petition to get moved to the Eastern Conference. The Warriors, Spurs, and Rockets are all going to be loaded. It's a shame that only 1 of them can be in the finals.

Outside of Harden and CP3, how are the Rockets loaded?

 

[Nubb16]

Outside of Harden and CP3, how are the Rockets loaded?

They won 55 games in the western conference and then added CP3?

 

[WonderBraa]

Jazz won 51...just 4 games less...they aren't loaded

 

[Nubb16]

Jazz won 51...just 4 games less...they aren't loaded

They also just lost their best player

 

[fatguy87]

They have two MVP caliber players. The only other team that can boast that are the Warriors.

 

[WonderBraa]

They have two MVP caliber players. The only other team that can boast that are the Warriors.

And the other starters are Ariza, Ryan Anderson, and Capela. They have two really good players, but they are not even close to loaded. And they just had an awesome season with Harden running the point, now they decide to take that away.

 

[USSLair]

They also just lost their best player

Clear he doesn't watch or know crap about the NBA. The West is so much better than the East

Capela and Ariza are solid NBA starters. Capela is the big you want playing alongside Harden and CP3. There is a chance he'll put up Deandre Jordan like numbers.

 

[USSLair]

Warrior's
Spur's
Houston

Top 3 in West seeds next year.

 

[WonderBraa]

Clear he doesn't watch or know crap about the NBA. The West is so much better than the East

Did anyone say the west wasn't better?

Aldrich is just awful.

 

[wildcatsboston1984]

That's in no way, shape, or form top 3 in the West. But they are getting Teague, so doesn't matter anyways. Not even a playoff team with the Teague lineup

 

[WonderBraa]

Wow. Sad I have to explain this further. They won those 51 games last year WITH their best player. And they WERE not loaded.

 

[WonderBraa]

Clear he doesn't watch or know crap about the NBA. The West is so much better than the East

Hahaha you're boasting about your NBA knowledge and you thought the Jazz were in the east

 

[WildMoon]

Houston isn't loaded. LOL,

are we going to start calling every team loaded soon?

 

[USSLair]

Hahaha you're boasting about your NBA knowledge and you thought the Jazz were in the east

WTF are you talking about dumbass.

Jazz would be maybe the 3 seed if they were in the East.

Houston would be the two seed in the East. Hell Spurs would be the one seed.

This is two posts in a row that have just gone wayyyyy over your head. Sit this one out, bud.

If your being sarcastic, I'm sorry but you suck at it.

What in the world? You're telling me you don't think a lineup with 3 top 15 scorers in the league and a top 12 pg won't make the playoffs? Insane.

 

[WonderBraa]

If your being sarcastic, I'm sorry but you suck at it.

No sarcasm. I am very serious when I say you're stupid.

 

[USSLair]

No sarcasm. I am very serious when I say you're stupid.

I'm stupid, but your a dumbass when it comes to the NBA.

Other than Cleveland, Houston would of won the east last year. And they landed Paul.

Who's overrated bit still. Give me a break.

 

[USSLair]

The Western conference is totally loaded with several teams, and the East has two, if you trust Boston.

 

[WildMoon]

eh...relaxxxx

It's still GSW versus Cleveland in the final.

Hahahaha you still don't get it. Nobody EVER said the east was better. Where do you get this stuff?

 

[UPSCat4080]

Jeff Teague isn't Kyle Lowry but they most definetly are a playoff team if everyone stays healthy. I would guess a solid 5 seed that could sneak into a 4.

Timberwolves went from +20,000 to +5,000 to win NBA title when they added Jimmy Butler. Now T-Wolves have Jeff Teague. Man, love this team.

 

[morgousky]

The east is so much better than the west its crazy. Its becoming hard to watch. Now Boston gets better making the west much more difficult.

Are you being serious right now? Haha

 

[morgousky]

I dont watch much NBA but that much I know. Lebron will never win another title as long as Cleveland is conference rivals with Golden State.

 

[K_TIME]

Did you mean West is so much better than East?

Golden St
Spurs
OKC - add Paul George and only lose Oladipo
Rockets - Harden, Paul, Ariza, Anderson and Capella...not a bad 5
Twolves Teague, Butler, Wiggins, KAT and Dieng...that is serious 5
Maybe Pelicans put Cuz and AD and do damage


East
Cavs awesome team
Boston...adds Tatum and young kids will improve with another year
Wiz...Stay put but took a big step forward last year
Bucks...

1. I'm not sure Boston would crack top 4 in West but glides to 2nd best in East.
2. I'm not sure rest of East would finish in top 6 of West...dead serious.

The Wolves drafted Markkikan(sp), the big Finnish kid from Arizona. He will eventually take the 4 spot. He can shoot and defend a little. perfect to stretch the floor. They also picked up a first round draft choice next year by shipping Rubio o Utah.They wil have a formidable team in two years. Wiggins is getting netter ,Butler is one of the 15 best players in the league and they have draft choices plus cap space. Most importantly they have KAT , one of the two best under 23 players in the league.

The Wolves traded the 7th pick(Markkanen) to Chicago.
