1. Sign Bismack Biyimbo?
2. Is Philadelphia interested in Dlo?
3. It's tough to come back when the refs spot the other team 15 in the first half.

Bite the bullet. Waive and stretch Jake Layman. He's a nice fella, but he quite literally does nothing on this team. Sign DeMarcus Cousins to a non-guaranteed veteran minimum deal. Let's get some beef in here. This roster has no girth. Boogie adds another nasty/chippy element to what the team already seems to have going for them. I'm already tired of watching Minnesota's frontcourt get moved around and we're only three games in.

Kat's immaturity sucked the life out of that game in the 1st quarter. His maturity was my key to the season. So selfish IMO, his histrionics throughout were comical.
Watching he and Dlo converse with each other on the bench is scary, and not in a good way.
Like I said before the season, he can get 25/10 in his sleep but can he be a mature leader, share the ball and make teammates better, the answer is NO He can't. The maturity is night and day between Kat and Ant, clear as day, Ant has a calm confidence about him, Kat on the other hand, a whiny, insecure baby, disappointing.

I dont like it, but I cant disagree with any of this.

I know he's a board favorite at the moment, but Jaden McDaniels has to be better or else he's just a 6'11 version of Josh Okogie. How can a guy that long only grab two boards in 33 minutes? He's 5-15 from the floor (1-7 3P) through three games scoring 11 points total. I'm not expecting him to be the next Brandon Ingram, but can he flirt with double digits please? Can he at least be a threat on offense?
The Wolves are 2-1 with some of their most important players starting the season in a funk.

Yeah McDaniels has been not that great. On ball d is nice, but if he can't box anyone out and grab some boards Im not sure hes a bet plus.

?Chris Finch on the Wolves struggles on offense through the first three games:?
?"It's still hard to watch. There's not a lot of rhythm out there. Guys are trying to do too much by themselves, not letting the ball do the work. Things we've talked about, getting that flow."?
?The Wolves gave up 21 offensive rebounds in the first game against the Pelicans and 15 offensive rebounds tonight (Valanciunas had 9).?
?Chris Finch after tonight's game: "We just gotta rebound. I don't know what to tell ya."?

While I don't disagree that KAT's drama-queen routine is problematic, I'd say the collective shooting of our perimeter guys was the biggest problem tonight. We can't have Beasley, DLO, and Prince - three of our best shooters - go 2-18 from 3. Those guys are paid the big bucks to make those shots.

Book it? Seriously, Book it?
By the way, you were only off by 21 points. You never cease to amaze me with your brilliance!

Anthony Edwards with some interesting post game comments, either he's about to start calling out the officiating or demand that he is the first wing option. I'm all for either way
