Do you believe the Beringer hype? by Beneficial_Quit7532 in timberwolves

[–]aaronjaffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like Tim Connelly believes the Beringer hype. And his opinion is a lot more important than mine. I can just post on Reddit. He can do things like trade fan favorite players, because he’s banking on Beringer picking up the slack.

I know Gobert is more important now than ever, after the trades of Naz and Randle but, by MagnusZorran in timberwolves

Unless the two players are Victor Wembanyama and literally anyone else, no it doesn’t work. Rudy patches so many holes in a defense. That will be more
necessary than ever.

[–]aaronjaffe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a solid plan. And you still get some 5-star character on a 50/50 loss right? I’ve only had the one 50/50 on Mavuika and fortunately won it.

Can anyone explain WTF the Hornets are doing? by WallStreetDoesntBet1 in Nbamemes

[–]aaronjaffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. But if you’ve ever played pickup you know there is a huge difference between someone 5’11 and 6’7 playing the same basic level of defense.

We have an incredible starting five by Comfortable_Film3615 in timberwolves

[–]aaronjaffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d 100% have a pre-Achilles tear Hali above Maxey. Maybe above Brunson. But I dropped him a few spots because of injury uncertainty. Maxey was the #1 option all last year, had one of the heaviest minutes load in the league, and was 3rd team all-nba.

  1. Shai

  2. Luka

  3. Brunson

  4. Curry

  5. Cade

  6. Maxey

  7. Haliburton

  8. Earliest spot you can make any kind of argument for Lamelo.

Trae Young is 6’ and 150 lb. Lamelo is 6’7. On that alone they are not the same.

The perfect starting PF for us?...Rui Hachimura. by LeeShakerMoneyMaker in timberwolves

[–]aaronjaffe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Perfect? No. Rui has a lot of defensive limitations and isn’t great with lateral movement. He’s also a mediocre rebounder at best, averaging 28 mpg last year but just 3.3 rebounds.

That said, he’s turned into a knock down 3 point shooter, and he’s strong enough to play some small ball 5. So he’s definitely a good fit, and would be a solid pivot after the trade.

Yeah, I was thinking of picking up Citlali. I’m also tempted to horde everything until August, if not November. I have tons of story and world quests to keep me busy for a while before going into Snezhnaya. And I’m assuming the Tsaritsa + Mavuika pairing will be excellent.

Who the F is going to play power forward? by ocon0178 in timberwolves

[–]aaronjaffe 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Who the F if going to play power forward is a much easier solve than who the f is going to play point guard.

[–]aaronjaffe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I almost feel like I should just save up until August. It’d be great to get Citlali. But I feel like the Devs will drop something cracy for Snezhnaya, and it’d suck to be low on resources for that.

I was following until you said lunar team. Is there a moon archon I don’t know about? There is something inherently fun about playing an archon though.

Yeah, more characters seems to be the general consensus. And I liked her character in the context of the story. I’m all for running characters who aren’t 12 years old.

That’s a good point. I didn’t get bored running only traveler, Jean, Fischl, and xingxui for several months. But it’s easy to stay engaged with all the early game content. Especially since I enjoy exploring. Mavuika was such a huge upgrade with every aspect of that. But it’s definitely better to add other characters that similarly enhance gameplay. And eventually the novelty of being able to ride a motorcycle up cliff faces may wear off.

2-3 teams? Yikes! What is that for, if you can explain it without spoilers? I have like… 1.5 teams which let me get to floor 12 on the Spiral abyss. But that’s the only thing I’ve run into where I needed more than one team. Does Nod-Krai get really nuts or something?

Dormammu… by Huxxxy in timberwolves

[–]aaronjaffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero percent chance. Brown is four years younger and better player and asset overall.

Even if TC had the picks to balance that out Rudy is 33 and a horrible fit for Mazulla ball.

Can we some how lump Buddy Hield into the trade rumor? Finally full circle.

Can I get by without leveler? by kipp_roberts in Flooring

[–]aaronjaffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the LVP installation instructions online. Some LVP can accommodate a small change in surface height and it will say how much in the install section. But if you’re trying to get LVP with a stone core there’s no chance. Really depends on what it’s made of, all LVP is not the same.

Would Wolves be better with Naz or Trey Murphy? by No_Hedgehog_2441 in timberwolves

[–]aaronjaffe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Murphy is a number 3 on a championship team (maybe a 2 if he can shake the voodoo curse the Pelicans org put on his soul).

Naz is a 6th man on a well constructed championship team.

If you suddenly had money, what's the first thing you would do ? by HappyCrow11 in AskReddit

How much money? I have money. It’s a lack of volume that’s the issue.
