Agreed!

Okogie Train!

With Butler and Teague out I'm curious to see who else gets some minutes. C.J. Williams has gotten them so far. I'd expect to see Okogie start and see we could see the future of Okogie, Tyus and Wiggins...might suck but it could be fun!

Sources: The Timberwolves suggested that Jimmy Butler rest vs. Utah tonight and there's an expectation that he will join the team on flight to Bay Area to play Golden State on Friday. Teams talking to Minnesota about trades say that the asking price remains steep.

FWIW that sounds like that's coming from the Wolves side. We will see what the reality is soon enough.

Woj usually takes advantage of any opportunity to berate the Wolves.

With Teague and Butler out Rose will see a ton of time. I wouldn't be shocked if he got the start at PG. I also wouldn't mind getting Nunnaly a few minutes with second team to get some spacing and fire up a fee 3's.

Wiggins gets at least 38 minutes tonight.

One thing about Thibs is he tries to be consistent with the more prominent roles on the team. Since Rose is our sixth man scorer off the bench, I think he will want to keep that in tact. Tyus has held down the fort fine in prior starts when Teague was out for some games last year, so I really see no reason that we won't be seeing a Tyus-Okogie starting back court.

Ugh.

Enough. Just send him away... what's the sunk cost of a lost season?

"Rose shots" is that a new drink? I doubt you could finish that many. I'd say you only get about 38%...

Jimmy ticks me off BUT if the Wolves are basically dragging their feet barely listening to offers then to some extent I can't blame him to SOME extent for trying to get out.

Also it seems like someone is getting played in the media with some of this information we are getting. Maybe I do need an intervention...
