I definitely don't want to see Layman or H-Gomez on the roster next season.

Think you still need to give layman time. Also I get your point on DLO, just think if games ever get important for the wolves I feel like Dlo offensive game translates more. But I love JMAC as the backup center

Whew. That's the boldest take I have ever heard. I think you might be alone on that one. *wink*

I do like J-Mac as our backup point guard on a cheap deal, though.

Hahaha.

The Ryan Saunders 3rd quarter. Mark it down every game. Wolves get dominated in early 3rd quarters

Usually a sign of a team getting out-coached, but oh well.

Malik is cooking tonight.

The more I see of Russell the less I like him. He slow down the offense, doesn't break down or disrupt the opposing defense, and doesn't defend very well. He can score and he's definitely an upgrade over Wiggins. But for me, Beasley was the better trade deadline acquisition and Russell isn't what this team needs.

I'll give Naz credit for getting physical with Zion.

Malik just can't miss right now. He's in such a zone shooting the basketball.

He has not been good tonight, that's for sure.

My question is at the end of the day, is DLO a more valuable asset than Wiggins? Whether we keep him or not is a different question.

Naz Reid was a hell of a pickup by Rosas.

Okogie has been fantastic of late
