He sure brings energy
He needs more seasoning, but he's eventually going to be a combination of Vando and McDaniels. He's not necessarily as good as either one in what those two uniquely do, but he brings elements of both players to his game. Needs a year or two though....
Good to know. I do think his stupid energy would be solid on this current version of the wolves with these guys out.

One time I'd like to see you add value to a thread, perhaps add an insight other than just showing up to take shots at other posters. Weren't you the one who drove LST out off this board? So you basically just sit there and take in all the content folks like Cam and others produce, then only post to take shots at folk. Nice.

Congrats Q You were right about Duke13 being a douche here's your cookie. Thanks for the comment calling out BS on this board and hope you can go to bed with smile on your face tonight. Because you're Jesters you were right poster of the night.
Ps Team that shoot below 25 percent from 3 are going to lose a lot of games
I still think my original post makes some sense no matter what you think of me.
KAT will probably be out for a while. Not sure when JMac will be back. Jaden should be back soon since it's an illness not an injury he's suffering from. Meanwhile, Nowell has been playing really well the past two games. Kyle Anderson has been consistently good for this team so far this season. Edwards hasn't taken the big leap forward we all wanted, but he's still the most potent and consistent offensive threat on the Wolves roster outside of KAT and he can also play stellar defense at time. Rudy has shown signs of life tonight I haven't seen from him much this season and KAT's injury temporarily addresses the fit problem. DLO remains consistently inconsistent to a degree that remains head-scratching.
What does all this mean? Here's what I'd like it to mean. I'd like to see the Wolves call up Garza and start using his allotted games under his two-way contract. Then I want to see a starting lineup of Nowell, Edwards, McDaniels, Reid and Gobert. Fill out the rotation with DLO, Moore, Anderson and Garza off the bench. When Dec. 15 rolls around, a number of players will become available for trades under League rules. That's when the Wolves should look to move DLO and Reid. I don't want move Reid, but he's the value proposition for a DLO deal that would bring meaningful value in return. Reid's abilities, youth and very team-friendly contract, combined with the cap-relief value of DLO's expiring contract could be an attractive package the selling points for a deal.

to hell with both of them too.
We gotta be real with ourselves. If this team didn't represent Minnesota, we'd hate everything about them.

Nothing you said is news to anyone here. Try to actually add value rather than just reading the original content others produce and then you just come in here to vomit on folks. You did it to Lip the other day.
This has got to be TC's worst nightmare. It wasn't working before and now we have injuries. What makes anyone think it will work once we get healthy again?
I agree with Cam that Finch seems to do the same thing over and over, hoping it starts to work out.
Can we be real here for a minute? If the Wolves had mature adults, players who are winners and are willing to sacrifice for the team, this cast of characters would work. But we don't have anything close to that, at least not at this time. I can see the potential of a coaching change, and maybe someone else could make it work. But the first thing that has to happen is the implementation of much more structure. These morons don't need less direction, they need a hell of a lot more. If we continue to struggle, make the coaching change after Christmas and if the new coach can't turn things around, we need to look at reshuffling the deck chairs. I'd be open to just about anything.

Well, TC has been a nightmare (so I don't mind him feeling the pain he brought upon the franchise), but Rojas and Thibs were nightmares too. If only Flip had gotten that tumor checked out sooner, maybe the franchise would be in good shape. If the Wolves implode and somehow Utah lucks into the top selection courtesy of the Wolves, this will go down as one of the worst NBA trades ever.

I also agree with Cam's point. On the other hand, what else can Finch do? He's constrained by the roster TC gave him. Finch is a highly respected coach who got this team to overachieve last season. So I'm not prepared to send him packing for failing to get a lot more from what I consider to be a pretty poor blend of players.

The Wolves nearly advanced against the #2 seed last year. The big dip was supposed to catapult them beyond that thought. That trade stripped all depth, all cap, and all future maneuvering.
