52 wins, but wins across the league will be more compressed this year, so it'll be more like a 55+ win season of yore. 3rd in the west, but they challenge the Thunder for 2nd. Unfortunately, however they have another let down in the conference finals --- I can't shake the feeling that Ball isn't rea...

Calm down

Preseason caveats and all that, but Finch/Ant era Wolves continuing the trend of shrinking at home

1. Towns isn't asking for the max ($276M), so he's not necessarily going for the most he can get. Speculation is that he wants about what he's making now. ($220-$230M). Considering the Knicks are coming off a title... I can see why any player in that situation is wondering why they'd need to take a...

I will always be on the players side on this argument. Get as much money as you can. The same people who want you to take a pay cut are the same people who will trade you to the kings to rot for the rest of your career because you are easier to trade now. KAT I believe had the best playoff +\- in n...

I doubt Ant becomes a "2-way" star, as hardly any of those even exist anymore. Jokic - It was almost shocking how ineffective he was against a banged-up Wolves team that just kept on puncturing the paint against him in the playoffs as he stood there like a statue. He's a liability on that...

They're just highlights and it's only preseason but I'm not getting high motor or smart defender vibes from the little I've seen from Ant so far. I'm sure a lot of folks have given up on it, but I'm still pretty keen to see him be a zero caveats two way star Aussie, the combination of Ant and Lamel...

I've always been a Clark fan but I'm just not seeing it anymore. He doesn't look like an NBA player to me. Williams has a much higher ceiling and I hope he gets a good shot here. Feeling the same at this point, Cool. Clarks progression has pretty much been a plateau since he got rotation minutes a ...

I haven't been able to watch any of the two games so I'm sure that would color my opinion if I had, but I'm not too concerned about TJ and Ayo I think they'll figure it out and offer 2 solid if not very good bench players.

However, I'm fairly concerned about how dependent they are on Joan this season
