Closing in on a triple double. 10-9-9 late in the fourth.

1 assist away. He’s 4-6 from the field, 2-3 from deep.

 

[tykurez]

Now up to 12 assists

 

[lavuuk153]

Finished with 10/13/10!

 

[jibsey]

There’s no UCONN player who I’ve rooted more for in their NBA career or is more deserving than Bazz. I hope he gets rewarded.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Someone is gonna pay the hell outta this man.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Wow! Is that his first ever triple double?

 

[BNich]

Way to go Bazz!

[Huskyforlife]

He was gonna choke up, that's the type of personality you want at the back end of your roster, if not a key rotation piece.

Traded to Den, better team but with their guard depth I don't think he plays much.

 

[auror]

Bizarre. Why did DEN want him?

Who the hell is going to play point guard for the Wolves? Malik Beasley?

Napier was actually quite decent in January. At least on offense. He started the last 17 games for the Wolves. Of course they went 3-14, but KAT missed half the games. He had the best offensive stretch of his career. I guess the Wolves tried to sell high?

maybe nuggets make another trade. Minnesota must be serious about trading for Russell.

That's clear. Probably the only way they keep KAT. They're close.

 

[auror]

Don't think they get there.

Or probably shouldn't considering price.

The only way they keep KAT? Dude is under contract for 4 more years

Have you paid attention to the NBA recently? Contracts mean nothing, guys just say "trade me, I'm not playing" and get their way

This has happened with AD and maybe others though I am blanking on more examples. Anyways, AD had some semblance of leverage as his contract was about to expire and NO risked him walking away for nothing. Not the case here.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Bazz and Jokic could be a really fun duo.

On this board, AD should be Andre Drummond, not some guy from Kentucky.

Kinda confused as to why Minnesota traded Shabazz. They don't have any PGs on their roster now as far as I know. Denver has two guys who are a lock to be ahead of Shabazz in the rotation in Jamal Murray and Monte Morris (who Shabazz beat in the NCAA tournament in 2014, incidentally). At least he will be winning though.

 

[Kenny11]

I hope they don't cut him. Their roster is pretty stacked, even with some younger guys that don't play much but will be a part of their future.

Just got traded in a deal with a cast of thousands.......

I assume it doesn't matter because Minnesota stinks, isn't making the playoffs, rudderless ship. It isn't quite as pointless as asking why Dolan fired the GM, but it is of that genre.

Arguably Shabazz is an upgrade over Monte Morris and could take those 20 minutes. More likely he's trade bait though for another move as Denver is looking for a SF or SG
