What do you make of the Pistons with Ausar Thompson? He seemed to be doing well as a starter and now he just looks like a lost rookie on a terrible team.

He was playing free and easy in the early going. Seems like as the losses piled up, Monty tried to switch some things up and Thompson has now been in an out of the lineup. I don't think what we saw at the beginning of the season was a mirage. He's a legit rebounder and passer, could turn into a top-level defender. His shot obviously needs work but can develop that over time.

I think it’s time for the Pacers to make a move. Defense is a must. Who do they try to get?

Another possible destination for Draymond? If you're looking for D, that's the guy. Maybe they make a big play for Anunoby. But wasn't the big reason why they wanted Brown is for his defensive prowess above all else?

How does Adrian Wojnarowski get his “sources”
Dana Gauruder
5:22
He developed them over time and now the agents (and front office people) are willing to feed him those scoops. I can say from experience the beat writers for various teams used to contact agents. Now, they just give the info to Woj or Shams.

Players have been suspended for entering an opposing team's locker room (Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green of the Rockets suspended two games for entering Clipper locker room in 2018).  Why haven't we seen any suspension for the Bucks players who entered the Pacer locker room?
Dana Gauruder

Did they actually enter the locker room? I thought there was just some yelling back and forth in the hallway of the arena.

As a middling team do you need the Nets as buyers or sellers at the trade deadline. Considering they have solid core but there not good enough to be contenders and also they have some valuable soon to be free agents that could fit a number of teams.
Dana Gauruder

Good point -- the Nets are kind of in that gray area. No one really considers them serious contenders but they also should make the postseason. I'd think they would be open to trading some of the wing depth. I'd lean toward them being sellers because I don't think they could make a trade that would boost them to the level of Boston, Milwaukee, Philly, etc.
Wolves Fan
5:28
What do you think the Wolves can/will do for a long-term point guard solution? Love Conley and hope he stays healthy and plays at this level for a long time but worried about injuries and age. We don't seem to have anyone that can step in and replace him.
Dana Gauruder
5:29
If they keep rolling along, you would anticipate they'd be buyers at the deadline and look to bolster that spot. It's a good time to be a Timberwolves fan, for sure. They've had a great start. Would be fun to see Edwards and KAT make a deep run.

That is all the time we have today. Luke will take your questions on Thursday.
