But what team is gonna give you anything of value for an aging Rudy?

There is a team in contention that has a defensive liability at C and a backup C that cannot stay healthy

Who we talking bout? They got $40 Ms in disposable players laying around?

I gotta anticipate that Dillingham is a factor next season. Kinda wild they traded up for a player that they couldn't find minutes for with Conley on the downturn of his career.

He's just in no position to affect winning at this point in his career. Small guards almost always look bad early, his scoring was ineffective, he can't run an offense and he just gets annihilated on the defensive end.

Give him time, he's got talent

Low key if I'm Minnesota I might see if Lonzo Ball is available for the cheap; the Mayo Clinic is right in their backyard to keep him healthy. They SHOULD be able to get him fairly cheap and he potentially solves their PG issue.

I was being facetious but the Knicks. KAT can't guard the 5 and Robinson can't stay healthy. They don't have the salaries to match though.

You cannot play Dillingham meaningful minutes. He's talented but he aint that nice

Aging Rudy in NY...that would most certainly be comedy

shyt is accurate as fuxk

But what team is gonna give you anything of value for an aging Rudy? He doesn't even have star power to sell. Then with these aprons teams are gonna be even less willing to take expensive risks.

I agree that they might have to take a step back in the short term. But it comes back to how?

That I don’t know but at this point I’d give him away for crumbs. Give me a 2nd rounder and some 3 and D guys that can contribute to the rotation.

Wolves on a verge for another WCF gentleman sweep 2 years in a row.

People are giving OKC A LOT of credit as it pertains to Ant. I agree they are making it tough. But name me one star player who hasn't been the vocal point of a team's defensive strategy, A part of it is understanding spacing and leverage within the design of the offense. I think Ant often plays into the hands of the defense. A team should not be able to completely take bro out of the game with a defensive concept that simple. Bro gotta tighten up.

Dillingham is food on defense

Yeah I get that if you look at it technically he's making the right play but when you're doing exactly what OKC wants on offense, how does that benefit you?

Dillingham is food on defense

He's listed at 6'1, 165

He makes Trae Young look brolic
