Any chance the Wolves can blackmail the pacers into trading McConnel for Julius

Yeah, I mean really?
Yall are wasting time and space complaining about nothing. The second you bring up woke or DEI your point loses all credibility.

Go somewhere else to talk about that if it floats your boat, this is a basketball forum. Pretty dope of you guys to call me a clown and then a 2nd person to echo that when I just *checks notes* asked you to stick to basketball..... nice

What can we take from Indiana's performance?
Which current Wolves could fit in to this series or, more importantly, which ones can't?

How we feeling about Rudy and Julius? I think it's fair to say they are questionable fits, at best. I'm optimistic about the others.

The Pacer are a real treat to watch. They play with such great energy and the amount of guys they have that can score of the bounce is really envious.

Watching Shepard run around all night with SGA really makes me want the Wolves to keep NAW around

Yes, they’re definitely a treat to watch. So are the Thunder. Watching Jalen Williams makes me want to see a lot more playing time for TSJ.

I will repeat what I said back in February, before the rubber meets the road in a few weeks. I firmly believe TC fully intends to keep NAW and that is why he didn't trade him at the trade deadline.

It was one comment that clearly related to basketball and this specific thread even… nothing to get offended about. Also, don’t tell people what they can and can’t write on a forum… unless you’re trying to get a job at espn

I’m with you on this take… TSJ gonna be a stud for the wolves. I wanna retool around an Ant, Jaden, TSJ core because these guys fit the Indiana/OKC mold. I think Rudy is a good keeper, but hopefully we can swap Randle, Naz, DDV, picks for a couple more guys in this mold. That’s our path to success. Two great TEAMS in these finals. Great bball

I sure hope so. He's gotten better every year in a Wolves uniform and is exactly the type of rotational player that you need on a championship team

Agreed on keeping Naw. If we can get him for the 12-15 range annually, I’d prioritizing keeping him over both Randle and Naz. There’s value to be had for DDV on that contract and I think TC is smart to find that value

First off, I really like your addition to the discussion here. This site has a tough time attracting new members, so it's good to see you chiming in. But a couple things:

- If you don't think ESPN is woke, I'd have to wonder what you've been doing for the last 10 years. Maybe that's your ideology as well, and that's okay - you be you. But saying I lose credibility by suggesting ESPN is woke is ridiculous.

- You have what, 20 some posts on this forum? Why don't you build a bit of your own credibility before you start playing moderator with a bunch of guys who have been together for 20 years.

- I don't see anything wrong with commenting on the broadcast team who happens to be doing.........BASKETBALL! Why don't you put your list of demands together and we will get back to you. Or not.
