In order for this to work, KAT and Gobert need to play better than everyone not named Jokic. Trade them both

I have to say, I appreciate the Wolves just giving up early so I can tune out too.

KAT is much worse in the playoffs.

We can hope. I sure hope it's the last year for Cousins too!

Actually, Towns wasn't so bad last year. It was his first two games against Houston where he was god-awful. Just like this series...

Is he a guy you want to count on in the playoffs? He strikes me as the type of player who can be a huge part of a team getting into the playoffs, but he's shown nothing once there.

It feels like Connelly tripled down on getting guys who can get the Wolves to the playoffs regardless of what happens once they're in it because he knows that getting to the playoffs is a minor victory in of itself for this franchise.

Yeah, but what kind of players do you need to compensate for KAT's weaknesses? It's no secret my BB knowledge is lacking, but I just cannot see a team being a true contender unless KAT is a 3rd wheel.

How embarrassed should Ant be?

Wolves don't care. Wild getting spanked. Vikings chocking in the 1st round. Ahhhhh I love MN sports

We're kinda beyond that now. The issue isn't what kind of player he can be on a good team. It's that for someone who has a personality that hardly draws people to him, he doesn't even deliver the good aspects of his game, so it's hard to justify keeping him here at all and even if you're getting a much crappier player in return, if that player isn't the kind of toxic softie KAT is, you'll take it.
