Any ideas who they could try to get? I've been thinking about it for a bit and the guy I keep coming back to is LaMelo Ball....

Ant going all AAU for most of the game needs to stop. Get him off the balll and for God's sake get out and run.
Aussie, I think Garland would have been a great option. With Charlotte finally turning things around I doubt they will look to make big changes now. Maybe we can get Rollins in a Giannis deal.AussieWolf3 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2026 4:46 pmAny ideas who they could try to get?

I'm not even sure Charlotte wants to trade him anymore and his contract is more expensive than I'd prefer. I don't know his game that well to be honest but on paper he's a good fit as a playmaker who is shoots 3s at an average rate. He's also not a good defender, but no worse than Julius and if he can actually take over as the initiator, then theoretically Ant will have more energy to covert towards defense- which this team really needs him to do. If he really wants to join the MVP conversation than he needs to become an elite 2 way player.
It's funny too cause last night Ant was actually trying to facilitate and do some playmaking, his teammates didn't help him at all, but his passing is just so bad

To be fair, the real problem with Julius is the role that he is being put in- which and the fact that teams don't have to respect him as a shooter at all, so him and Rudy on the floor together is a problem.KiwiMatt wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2026 9:32 pm+1.Coolbreeze44 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2026 4:02 pm We just need to move Randle for a good point guard.

Finch isn’t the biggest problem. It’s the incosistent play of our so called 2nd best player.
Has there ever been a more polarising player on the Wolves roster than Julius? It seems like our ceiling and floor is dictated by the mental state Julius is in. We can’t have that going into next season.
What would help more is if he simply moved the ball at a higher clip, versus dribbling into 3 players and turning it over. He's not understanding where the players are on the court and where to pass the ball. Teams just collapse on him and he's not been good enough lately to make the right read and on time.AussieWolf3 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2026 7:47 amTo be fair, the real problem with Julius is the role that he is being put in- which and the fact that teams don't have to respect him as a shooter at all, so him and Rudy on the floor together is a problem.KiwiMatt wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2026 9:32 pm+1.Coolbreeze44 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2026 4:02 pm We just need to move Randle for a good point guard.

Regarding his role, he has been tasked as the team playmaker/facilitator and he is woefully ill equipped to that at this point, especially if his shot isn't falling!
