Touché!!! :D Ha, love this board because you guys don’t let us get away with anything! The Wolves are built to depend on 3 point shooting at which Naz is elite for a big man. And they also require versatility, and Naz has played 3 positions with the Wolves. Plus he is a perennial SMOY candidate and...

Tim Connelly acquired Ayo just last February. He then signed Ayo a couple weeks ago. Ayo was great in the playoffs. The wolves are built to depend on 3-point shooting, and versatility, both of which Ayo provides at a high level. His age matches up with our core of Ant, Jaden and Ball. TC isn’t goin...

Airbnb gave me a $100 credit for an experience so after that performance last night this afternoon I went to the Wreck Room and smashed some stuff! The guy said he has a bunch of people booking later today so maybe the Wolves are going there too? Evans will want someone to go with him in case he ca...

https://www.youtube.com/live/22NuQIY5oys?si=C9XK-1yR0_1p7sKm This is the first time I’ve ever seen LaMello interviewed. Not what I expected. He’s very understated. Man of few words. Nothing close to Ant’s presence or charisma. Hard to get a sense of him from this interview as you’ll see, but his pe...

Twins get there replacement catcher for Jeffers. Vahn Lackey is basically everything you can ask for catching prospect. Mauer type patience with more power from what i heard from what connections i have left on twins scouting. I have on pretty good authority if the Twins were at #1 that he most lik...

Ha, and you'll have lots of company out there!

Lip, it does seem quite clear to me from Finchy's and TC's comments that they are not at all comfortable with Slim as the everyday PF...it's not a knock at all on Jaden, it's just that they love him at SF. TC knows he has to find a starting-level PF somehow, and it has to be agonizing for him to ha...

I was going to watch a Wolves summer league game... think it would have been my first one since Tyus Jones starred as ... a scorer! And then, predictably, I forgot. As for Evans, all I can go on is what I saw at Duke... and heard from others. He looked the part of a movement shooter in college. Sor...

I know it's only summer league and it's only "back stiffness", but does Joan missing 2 consecutive games and Rocco's futility on defense (last night he made Garza look like Wemby!) increase the urgency for TC to bring in some size? I was hoping that Rocco might be the answer if either or b...

Finch said he doesn’t envision Jaden starting at PF. Hmm. Does that mean he envisions Green, Edwards or TSJ starting there? I really doubt it. Finch’s comment is telling because it indicates the Wolves organization does not share the view of Q and others on this board that we’re fine moving forward...
