That guy is not credentialed but he did have the garland and the KD trade first, so not a complete random account
Does Lamelo fit Ant timelime? :)

Im so for this. I hope Rudy goes not that he cant help us but it’s time for the band aid to be removed.

I want 5 out and all the space in the world for Ant.
They were in the same draft class.

You don't have to do this to convince us that you're working hard. Make smart moves. Don't put yourself in rumors for players we couldn't get anyway. It makes us look thirsty.
I totally understand being critical of TC and Wolves brass at this point, but at least be intellectually honest.

The guy has made how many trades at this point? Nearly one at every opportunity, it's fucking ridiculous to suggest he's just a tire kicker.

For real, it’s frustrating to have to wade through the fabricated lies and “feels” when trying to have a discussion based on reality. These guys just have to be right though I guess…

Honest to God I have no idea how I'd feel about a Rudy for Ball swap.
You might have the best offense in the league but.... You're gonna get run over on defense. Even if you bring in Robert Williams or something, he's had injury issue and I'm not sure he's your full time starter anyway.
Interested to see what happens, I'll say that much

Why would charlotte after finally a year where it seems to click a bit and Lamelo looks good….acquire Coby white and draft Christian Anderson? Rebuild around Lin knueppple?

Are diabetes and kallbrenner useless? They want to go all in now on the last bit of Rudy’s prime?

They want Naz so let’s be serious. What’s it look like to have both Naz and Randle and Rudy gone? How do you even figure out how to adapt to that by the playoffs?

So Jaden plays PF. Ant Ayo and Lamelo together. All three of those guys want to dominate the ball. It would be more stagnate than last year times 10! Naz stirs the drink. This is a losing idea.

TC is kicking tires to see if sacks of money fall out, not cause he wants the car

If you wait for people to call you then you’re gonna be at home on Saturday night.

Aggressive offers…sounds like they want to drum up some of those so they leak that they have some. Story old as time.
