Rolling out the white carpet? - Knicks at Wolves GDT

[kekgeek]

Ants worst game in a while.

Doesn’t he have a 20 point per scoring streak going? He’s sitting at 17. I wonder if he Wii see more minutes.

N/m. I see he is starting the 4th!

I actually don't think Ant played that poorly. Our team defense broke down time and again, but not sure how much of that was on him.

I agree with this. He didn’t play bad but he didn’t put his imprint on the game what they needed

Kat with 3 turnovers already

Happy for KAT's success with the Knicks....just not tonight please!

This did not happen tonight Q. Haha

That's for sure. He's playing with a bunch of really smart players and they run a spread offense that is just beautiful to watch. It's the type of offense I wish Ant could play in. And he's obviously improved defensively as a Center, which I think we started to see a couple years ago in that Memphis playoff series.

Finch is trash!

Without Ant, Wolves are a bottom 5 team. That's an indictment on how bad TC is as he inherited Ant, KAT, Jaden and spent 6 first round picks to downgrade the roster.

I said we overpaid for Conley and should have signed Tyus instead. Tyus was signed for the minimum and resigning Conley and throwing two lottery picks for a young guy who won't help anytime soon was just vintage dumb TC.

Tyus Jones was never an option whether they signed Conley or not. Nobody thought Jones was gonna settle for a vet minimum (keep in mind, even if Tyus came here again, there was zero chance of a long term deal)


Now the Dillingham thing was a risk and he might still pan out but if the coach is so reluctant to use him, then it's not a move to make. The issue isn't trading up for Rob; it's treating him like he's an undrafted free agent. I think to a man if this was say Ajay Mitchell, then it's justifiable. The trade made both of their picks unusable. They drafted a 24 year old who now many never get meaningful minutes in a Wolves uniform in Shannon.

Yes, he would have been an option if he was signed to start here. Obviously, throwing two lottery picks for Dilly didn't help. Had we not been so eager to sign Old Man Conley (Wolves bid against themselves, as TC is butt dumb, as no team was going to pay so much for a guy Conley's age).

You couldn't possibly have gone into free agency with no Conley and BANKING on Jones who to a man we all thought at least was gonna get MLE money, to settle for a 1 year vet minimum (again, 1 year because there's no bird rights, so God forbid he plays well, now you have no way to keep him and no way to replace him.


Now would this team need Conley as much if they had an actual facilitator? No, but my fear was always that they didn't value it that much and was just gonna rely on Ant turning into mini Luka, which was never gonna happen.

Donte was great last year. I watch a lot of him as I rode his fantasy ass to a title. But under Finch he sucks and is on the garbage time crew.

We could have waited on Conley if we wanted. Nobody was going to pay him more. But either way, offering Tyus the starting gig probably would have gotten him here. I never wanted to let Tyus go. He was better than that trash DLO who we burned a nice lottery pick for.

Wish he would get minutes in games that we have no energy like tonight

Time for Finch to look at himself in the mirror. He never takes responsibility for anything. Just a clown coach.
