I know we’re small market, but it’d take something close to a collapse for Chicago to overtake us. National media are a joke. But it's on us to change that and we will.

It would take another significant run and some help for us to catch Philly. It would take Chicago a significant run and some help to catch us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fournier to Portland Bazemore and Portland's pick to New Orleans JJ to Orlando. Actually, why wouldn't Portland prefer JJ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know we’re small market, but it’d take something close to a collapse for Chicago to overtake us. Fivethirtyeight has consistently been giving us around 85-90% chance to make the playoffs, even during our worst stretch (Right now they have us up to 95% chance!). The teams below us almost all have more difficult schedules than us for the second half of the season. We have been playing pretty consistent even with all of the injuries. I think some in the national media are labeling us as "on the bubble" because we probably are stuck in the 7-8 seed, so we aren't a contender or even the next step down. This is a weird season where teams are basically playoff teams or not. The only spot that seems really up for grabs is the final spot in the west. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I don't know if reputable sources are saying that though. The Lakers wanting dj makes sense. They're treating every season like a one year window to win a championship. DJ can play in big games off the bench and is the exact type of guy you want to surround LeBron with as far as bench players go. Minnesota doesn't. They wouldn't want a 32 year old expiring point guard. They're out of the playoffs again so dj doesn't do much for them this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only player I could see us wanting is Robert Covington. DJ and Birch + a second for Covington, who says no? Though this puts us in the position of needing a back-up PG still.
