Undeniably true. At the point where you want your stars to elevate their game he shrinks and sometimes completely crumbles under pressure. Im ready to move on, particularly with his bloated contract.Coolbreeze44 wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2024 11:49 am Let's be honest and acknowledge this isn't the first time KAT has struggled in the playoffs.

What would the Twolves fanbase be without drunk Jester? Id take you over KAT any day.Jester1534 wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2024 1:22 am I think it’s time for me to be traded to another fan base.
Who’s the boards gm so I can demand a tradr. Tim, Kek. Lip etc?
I’m drunk and depressed. Draft Bronny Jr and trade Kat for Lebron in sign and trade and Kat can go play with his good buddy DLO again.
That is fair for sure. But sub in scrubs and backups in a KAT trade and do we even get by the Suns and Nuggets? Maybe but Probably not. KAT's defense was key on Jokic I really feel.Coolbreeze44 wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2024 11:49 am Let's be honest and acknowledge this isn't the first time KAT has struggled in the playoffs.

Realistically I don’t think so. There was not a game that Moore, Miller or Minott got a chance. So unlikely they will contribute next year
Clark has a long ways to go to develop any sort of offensive arsenal. His defense was elite in college, so I do think he could approach NAW-level defense, but then he's got a long ways to go to develop a reliable 3-points shot, much less any semblance of shot-creation off the bounce.
Agreed. Also, emotion is running pretty high right now. We need a little distance from this series against Dallas. No doubt it's been a hugely disappointing effort with plenty of criticism to go around.
I don’t view this as trying to blow the team up, Kek. I see this as re-examining the issue of trading KAT or Rudy to stay under the 2nd apron. Given that we’re on the verge of being swept with KAT shooting so horrifically bad for three straight game, i think it’s reasonable to re-visit this topic. As Cool noted, KAT faltering in the playoffs isn’t new. But as I noted in another post, KAT could turn it around starting tomorrow and help take this team to the NBA finals. I still think we’re a better team than Dallas and good enough to win four straight with KAT catching fire and Ant ramping his offensive game up a bit. And even if KAT continues to struggle and we lose the series in 4 or 5 games, I’m still not convinced we should trade him this summer. If it weren’t for the 2nd apron, I’d probably have a fairly strong preference for keeping KAT next season. As it is, I’m sort of on the fence right now unless he turns it around in a big way the rest of this series.
Will they try to reduce payroll no matter what? Sure. Do I think they can improve the roster in spite of TC's drafting? No.Coolbreeze44 wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2024 11:16 pm The concept of reducing payroll isn't much of a stretch for the Wolves. Check out this site to see how extreme the situation really is:

30 out of 30 for next year speaks volumes for a franchise in flyover country. Could we run it back? I suppose but it appears we don't quite have the right mix anyway. I think it's possible for TC to reduce the payroll at the same time he improves the roster. I'm looking forward to him doing some reshaping to improve our shooting and maybe even get a bit younger.
