<r>I actually agree -- I think we're going to see an improved Wiggins this season. In fact, expectations are so low for him that I think there's a good chance he'll be in the mix for most improved player. We talk about his obvious lack of motivation and the fact that he only gets up for individual g...

I think obtaining Westbrook would cost more than the Wolves should give up and destabilize what appears to be a thoughtful approach to putting a winning team around KAT for the future. I hope and expect that Rosas doesn't get too far down this path.

<t>I agree with you, Lip... I'm starting to think that both Teague and Wiggins will be traded -- Wiggins to clear room for Russell and Teague because he'll be redundant and will have value elsewhere in the league. That would allow the Wolves to keep Culver, Okogie and KBD, and free Rosas up to do so...

<t>#TrusttheRosas<br/> <br/> It feels to me that the Wolves front office, maybe for the first time ever, might have a real sense of how to put a team together.

Well, there's still a nonzero possibility that Butler remains a Wolf all season... and that Thibs signs him to a max deal, causing Lip's head to actually explode

I guess I'm ok with him sitting out, rather than make a dumb trade now out of fear of additional awkwardness of this situation lingering into the season.

Thibs should have dealt with this sooner -- I think we all agree with that.

This is an awesome post.

<t>Look... of *course* he's disappointed with the laisez faire attitude of the young guys -- he and Taj were brought in specifically to try to change that attitude. It's *good* that he's letting them know, calling them out. Towns and Wiggins need to continue to toughen up if they are going to reach ...

his one-year deal with the Pistons last year was ~ $3.3 million

<t>Well, history tells us that it's never too early to go negative on the Wolves... but I'm mostly going to resist that for now. I think KAT, Wig, Tyus, Dieng, and Belly all improve this year (assuming everyone is still here), after a year of adjusting to Butler, Taj and Teague, and the loss of Rubi...
