Wolves PG Position

[FNG]

Something is fundamentally wrong with the roster construction of a team where your two main point guards make $17M between them and your two main PFs make $60M. That is just effed up.

Now we can go into all the reasons how we arrived at this place, but to me it's not a sustainable path to continue having so much cap room invested in two defensively challenged PFs that really shouldn't be paired together much.

I'm going to give Tim Connelly some grace here given his track record, but I'm hopeful the right opportunity comes along between now and the trade deadline to make a move of some sort.

I have a similar view, Q. So here’s a question. Do you think the Wolves would be a better team with Capela or Kornet and Tyus Jones instead of Randle and Mike Conley? I suspect we could have moved on from Randle via sign-and-trade and somehow ended up with a good defensive backup center. I’m fairly certain we could have landed Tyus if we had traded Conley.

If Gobert is healthy when is Capela playing in the playoffs?

Personally, I much prefer Randle/Conley over Capela(or Kornet)/Jones.

I think the rub with Conley is that it was a bit of a wink-wink deal.

He'd sign on for two seasons... to stay in Minnesota.

It seems like Connelly puts A LOT of emphasis on taking care of his guys (see Conley) and (not pressuring both Reid and Randle into a few million less each).

The Wolves would be in better shape (financially) to have paid less for the two PFs and by trading Conley. Tim Connelly is betting on "good locker room vibes" though. I hope he's right... for multiple reasons.

Yep. I hear you.

I think it's highly unlikely Randle finishes his contract in Minnesota.

I'm not even that confident he's making it to year 2.
