Middleton out 3-4 weeks. Despite all the complaining, he is an important piece. With that said, it’s not necessarily a bad thing to get a few weeks of Donte and Sterling playing major minutes early in the season. Could help them push for the starting 2 job when Khris is back.

Does he have a contusion on his thigh?

Yeah, seems to just be a thigh contusion, which makes 3-4 weeks seem long. But should be fine long term.

Well, let's see if the "we needed to pay him" holds up over this next month.

Brook has been very mediocre this year 

[beekay414]

He's not going to be a 44% 3pt shooter but, god damn, if that isn't encouraging. He's single-handedly lifting this team right now. The rest of this team would be competing with the Knicks and Warriors for the right to select James Wiseman.

Also, hitting pull up threes to beat the buzzer these days...

He's about to make the NBA his ***** tbh

Giannis is shooting 33% from 3 over his last 200 attempts. Not league average or anything but promising enough.

[beekay414]

6-0 without our $30 Million man. It's almost like we could've replaced him and not skipped a beat.

[titans0021]

Giannis’ free throw shooting is a massive problem.

[thrILL!]

Defense was outstanding in the 3Q.  Let’s keep it up and finish strong. 

[thrILL!]

•Clutch block by Lopez. 
•Clutch FTs by Pat for the dagger (after a laughable call helping Utah).
•50 for the MVP.

Utah wouldn’t go away and we played sloppy offensively in the final 2 mins but finished strong.

So, we can actually get Chris Paul without trading Middleton. It's something I think we need to consider because we absolutely need another creator outside of Giannis and Middleton. This would be the deal...

Eric Bledsoe, Ersan Ilyasova, DJ Wilson, Robin Lopez, Sterling Brown, Kyle Korver and Indiana's 2020 1st rounder for Chris Paul and Nerlens Noel

Chris Paul | George Hill
Wes Matthews | Donte DiVincenzo
Khris Middleton | Pat Connaughton | Thanasis Antetokounmpo
Giannis Antetokounmpo | Dragan Bender
Brook Lopez | Nerlens Noel

And we fill roster spots with buyouts or minimum vets/other means. We'd obviously find a way to bring in a vet PF or two.

I, for one, am taking that chance.

That was one hell of a game last night.  How many 3s did the Jazz hit?   

Giannis proved he is indeed the MVP.   He willed that team to a victory.
