I just think he fixes so many problems for the wolves. They would have a legit rim defender, a great rebounder, other teams would have to put PFs on KAT and if they don't good luck boxing out Jordan with PFs. I know jordan has his weaknesses especially at the line but I think he fills the positive boxes more. Also all combinations of belly/dieng/kat/jordan fit together.
Why the clips do it. Paul and griffin both free agents along with Redick. Do they really want to run it back again for the 7th year with that group. They would get around the 7th ish pick and cut cap space. Makes sense to me.
If my math is correct adding jordan 22 mil would still leave the wolves with about 16 mil in cap space (pek contact comes off the books correct with a medical retirement correct me if I'm wrong)
I'd be in 10000% I've wanted Deandre Jordan here since the Love days.
#7 pick and Tyus

If we don't get a top 3 pick and get Jackson, Isaac would be a great get if he's there when we pick and I would not want to trade away our pick in that event. There are plenty of people who think Isaac can be as good if not ultimately better than Jackson. I would be happy with either guy as both are two way players at a position of need with good upside. If both are off the board, then Tatum, Bridges and possibly Collins might be our targets.

Thanks for the positive thoughts after losing to a team at home that had little interest in winning...I needed that, Lip. Yes, I'm also tired of talking about high lottery picks, but let's face it...a high pick is an asset that a smart team can use to their advantage. And I think we will end up tied with the Knicks for the 6th most ping pong balls. We should lose to Houston, and the Knicks should beat a Philly team that has lost 7 in a row and is in a ping pong battle with Orlando.
I haven't though about what I want to do with whatever pick we end up with, but I'm clinging to some confidence that Thibs and Leydon will make the most out of a solid asset.

I also think Isaac would be a nice fit for the T-Wolves. Hopefully with this draft being loaded, we get one last key pick to go along with Kat, Wiggins, and Rubio.

hopefully we lose or we could potentially drop to 9th!
