Nah, it's getting close to "Fold the franchise" time.
As I see it, he might be the main component of this team that's holding them back. What does he contribute to the team? Inefficient, inconsistent scoring? Matador defense? Lack of enthusiasm? Impending superstar contract for a below average NBA player? I'm so frustrated by him.

The only thing he contributes is that he is less of a defensive liability than Crawford or Bazz. So in other words, he's the "least bad" option we have on the wing after Butler.
So he's in a shooting slump. You'd think he would may be try to make up for it in other ways. Nope. ZERO defensive rebounds on a night we gave up a ton of offensive boards. Nothing new here folks! That contract could be an albatross on this franchise for years to come.
Watching the game i thought the Suns won the battle on the boards, but looking at the box score i didnt realize how much by..... 52 - 31. That is inexcusable by our bigs and pretty much eliminated any advantage we had by the suns turning over the ball every second possession.
Thibs offensive game is outdated and tonight showed why. Whats worse is his reluctance to draw up a game deciding play for anyone else not named Jimmy Butler. Its so predictable - inbound pass to Butler, weak pick then drive to the hoop for the contested shot, while everyone else stands aroung watching. How about getting Towns involved, you know our BEST OFFENSIVE PLAYER. And what about Wiggins or Teague for that matter. At least it would keep the opposition guessing. Thibs should just hand the whiteboard to Ryan Sanders for those plays...
I use to be a supporter of Thibs, but every game he just looks more and more out of touch with the modern NBA.

To hell with that. I need him off this team by next summer, even if the Wolves gotta take back 50 cents on the dollar. If you see Butler damn near killing himself out there by doing all the little things and you're not picking up on any of it, there's no getting through to him. I could see why some guys on the team might resent him. The rules don't apply to him.
They've played so many mediocre teams and the good ones have missed key guys. The Wolves are gonna get destroyed against better teams at full strength.
So shitty game but.... how can they review and change a call from shot clock violation to a foul. Thought you couldnt review for a foul. Also got screwed on no call on butler at end of the game before last shot. Its really damn frustrating seeing towns get no calls EVER!
That being said wow we suck. Outrebo7nded by 21 or so. 27 tos for them and we lose. Just crazy. Also Wiggins was just trash. Broken ass jumper and a max contract for a supposed scorer. God forbid he drive to the hoop when you can settle for clanked jumper after jumper. Wiggins aint much more than a harrison barnes on offense with much less passion and definitely much worse defensively. Wow plays now and then but overall worthless to getting a win.
Also crawford has been terrible lately.
And if anyone can clarify on how they turned a shot clock violation to a foul i really want to understand how that happened?
Wiggins seems to be following the career path of the Rudy Gays and the like . He'll play well enough to be a wanted commodity on losing teams trying to sell their fan base on the "aggressive" moves they make . Until settling into a roll that's half the former expectation with a team like the Spurs who unburden him of pressure and find the role he was always meant to play .

It sucks but that was the right call and they called for a review right away. They were not reviewing whether or not it was a foul but whether it happened before the shot clock expired. It's basically the same as if a guy took a shot at the end of a clock. If he let it go before the clock it will stand if not nothing happened after it. There was clearly a foul on Teague.
