Re: Detroit Pick Watch

Derik Queen is projected to go higher but is probably for the better. He isn't showing any defensive chops against Colo St to be in consideration for the Wolves. He sure can score the ball though! Heh, tough shot too! Wow. I don't know much about this year's group of prospects, but I do agree that ...

Re: Wolves Draft Watch

Ryan Kalkbrenner would be a perfect backup center for the Wolves. Would be an awesome pick at 32, not sure he will be there. I would consider him at 15. 35 points, 12 rebounds, 2 threes, 3 steals and 2 blocks tonight. Older guy, ready to contribute. Not as big, but more skilled than Edey.

Re: The trade

In my opinion, more FTs for KAT because he plays for a big market team is irrelevant (just a limitation of being a small market team, although I’m not even sure that is a thing (not saying it isn’t, just haven’t seen data it is). If KAT improves because of effort, that would be frustrating. I know v...

Re: The trade

I have grown to love the trade. I think we get too caught up in evaluating talent and lose track a bit on value. I think DDV’s contract is a steal. While there are teams who would resign KAT for his current contract, it is not an easy decision and certainly not a value contract. You sacrifice so muc...

Re: Wolves traded Kat

I am happy with this trade. May not improve the team this year, but removing the contract is huge. Randle is not much of a downgrade and Divencenzo will be an awesome sixth man. Agree he was worth more in the past, but that is not the now.

Re: Hell of a season

It really was a great season. I loved having 3 rounds of playoff basketball to watch. I hope they can take the next step but as Bite Bite has said, it's not a given. I have a lot of faith in Ant though. Ant draws SO much damn attention because of how dangerous he is going downhill. If you were to s...

Re: 20 years later to the day...Another Game 7. GDT

An amazing year and playoffs. We can all feel good about the future with a loss. BUT, it ain’t happening! Agree with Lip that the law of averages will tighten things up, but I truly think we are the better team and if we show up, we will advance. Not sure my stomach can handle it, but an Ant game wi...
