My apologies for rehashing stuff... but THIS is why many of us are not optimistic about the person who will be most responsible for the success or failure of the 2020 Timberwolves:

_______

"You learn from it," he said. "It's nothing but motivation. You go into the summer knowing that you better work. People are going to doubt you. People are going to think that you lost a step, you lost it, all these things. But all you can focus on is yourself. The fact that I can prove people wrong and get back out there and let people know that I'm still the same player, that's motivation. That means a lot. Work harder, think harder. I want to be great."

In bold. It's not the first time Andrew Wiggins has said something similar. If he thinks the player he was (even when averaging 23.6 ppg) is nearly good enough... there's no hope.

Some guys never get it. Granted, quotes are often mostly meaningless. Sometimes, however, they can be telling.

And you people think I'M obsessed with Wiggins

No. Some just think you've been irrational with your Wiggins takes. Big difference.

Nothing wrong with that, we don't come here to agree on everything. But the majority of those takes were made a long time ago.

This team will be easy to like in terms of having many "good guys" on the roster and staff, but there isn't a lot of premium level talent or quality NBA players. I can't see the team winning more than 30 games next year.

But this is essentially what Minnesota wants and has usually tried to have. They'd rather have a team of good feelings and smiles than a real winner.

I hope Rosas is great. I think he has done a great job at getting the right people to like him. But we are going to suck. We have a bottom 3 roster in the west. If KAT gets hurt arguably the worst roster in the NBA.

I don't want KAT to get hurt, but I cannot help but remember how The Admiral's injury set the stage for Duncan and the Spurs to have a decade-plus of success!
