Kelly Olynyk

[Mojo13]

Weird situation. He's getting this stat line lately.

K. Olynyk PF DNP-COACH'S DECISION

A couple things going on - the Heat are semi-struggling coupled with just many healthy bodies right now (had a load of guys hurt last year). They are experimenting with different line-ups and attempting game by game match-ups. All this is causing KOs minute to fluctuate wildly. It is still quite odd to see as KO was really good for the Heat last year. There were a couple line-up couple combinations with KO that were very effective last year yet they have rarely been used this year.
Add to oddness is that KO really killed the Clippers the last time they played yet gets DNP'd last night and DNP'd vs Boston where you;d expect him to ball out.

Hopefully it all works itself out in his favor.

They sure are paying him a lot of money to be nailed to the bench. Bad situation.

Kelly got some time on court today...(due to an injury of a teammate).

A very efficient 11 points (on 6 shots) and 6 rebounds in 17 minutes...

When he plays well Miami has a great record..

From DNP Coaches decision a few weeks ago to the last 4 games averaging 22.25 ppg....as a starter.

I know its because if injuries right now, but even when other players get back KO should remain the starting PF for the rest of the year with Bam as the centre.

Kelly makes the most of another start (and win), leading the Heat in minutes and scoring.

He certainly has his MOJO back hitting 5 of 7 three pointers (He's hitting 61% of them the last 5 games).

As a long-time Kelly follower it's great to see him on a roll.

He is gearing up to lead Canada to a medal at the World Cup this summer.

Kelly featured in this week's Zach Lowe column, at number 3:

Just got $1M bonus based on minutes played...must be rough figuring out the tax implications

[bartruff1]

At this point he could just buy Kamloops....but if you have been a young good looking single NBA multi millionaire in South Beach.....

Kelly O to the Mavs as part of the Butler trade

Miami would get Jimmy Butler, Dallas would get Kelly Olynyk and Derrick Jones Jr. and Philadelphia would get Josh Richardson ... but that trade construction remains (at least) one piece shy

Wasn't it Dallas that originally drafted him?

Cuban is a players' owner. Hope Kelly enjoys himself.

Update from CBS:

Heat's Kelly Olynyk: In limbo after sign-and-trade fails
By RotoWire Staff 1h ago • 1 min read
UPDATE 1h ago

Olynyk's future is clouded after Sunday's attempt by the Heat to sign-and-trade for Jimmy Butler hit a snag, Marc Stein of the New York Times reports.
There's apparently some confusion as to which players were involved in the deal, so for the time being Olynyk remains in a holding pattern. Tim Cato of The Athletic reports that the initial deal between Miami and Dallas is off, but it's still very possible that Miami could end up moving Olynyk -- to the Mavs or another team -- in the coming days to facilitate the Butler acquisition.

With Hassan Whiteside being traded I don't think Miami will also move Kelly.

Spo has a soft spot for KO and I was surprised that he was being traded.

Unless they land another experienced big I have to think that KO is still starting beside Bam.

With Kanter and Leonard leaving Portland Collins has a better chance of getting some starts
