New Assistant GM

Given the track record the Wolves have in the second round, he's got a chance to be our best second round pick ever.

Who are our top 5 second round picks? Wait!! Don't answer that. We need a thread for that.

Can I ask what Tako Fall does well besides he is tall, he is slow, unathletic, doesn't guard in space, has no jump shot, has below average post moves, terrible FT shooter, he has no touch around the rim, he also doesn't have the girth that Boban has and Boban is better at everything than Tako and the sixers couldn't play Boban in the 2nd round.

Tako would be such a terrible pick, you can't run zone in the NBA for him to protect the rim, he would have to guard in space what he is terrible at.

I'm skeptical also but I did see at least one of the media guys that does draft work who is not a Tacko believer say they thought he looked in great shape and really helped himself in the predraft events. Those insane measurements don't hurt either. Regardless I just don't see how he is more than a backup center. Those are so easy to sign these days although obviously if he is actually worthwhile you probably aren't gonna find someone quite like him defensively. I'd guess there will be at least 20 guys I'd rather have at our spot though.

Irv roland, rockets developmental coach, was let go by the rockets. Some rocket fans are not happy.

Roland is largely credited for harden's ascension. He was also the guy that talked basketball to harden, kd, and wb when in OKC.

First gupta, and now roland. All top notch basketball minds that have links with Rosa's and are available.

We could be on the verge of putting together a fantastic staff around Saunders.

Scooch and Goop

Sounds like a Nickelodeon show, but those are Rosas' assistants

Gupta is a strong hire. Now get Roland for player development.

This is quite the article on Gupta. If even half of what is in this article is legit this is a pretty good hire and he isn't just a cap/numbers guru.
