Re: Wolves VS Mr Big shot (Belly and the Kings)
I didn't think I'd ever think this, but I think I'd rather have the Kings' roster and overall setup right now. And that's while acknowledging how talented and productive Towns has been to this point. He's in the early stages of a Hall of Fame career.
But give me Fox, Hield, Bagley, Bogdanovic, some capable veterans on cheap contracts and future financial flexibility over what the Wolves have right now.
You have to have an explosive backcourt to really be in business in today's NBA and I think the Kings have that moving forward.
The Wolves, however, can't get out of their own way -- deciding to trade away the opportunity to select McCollum, passing on Murray and Hield when they were obvious picks, trading LaVine. This is becoming an unforgivable issue and it's no surprise why this team is annually among the worst in three-point shooting.

EVERY foul he does he overacts and complains loudly to the ref, it's like watching a bad play. Sigh, just 1 more less guy to root for
I'll remain in the "I still like Taj Gibson" and "Taj Gibson is not the problem" camps. Of all the things to complain about with this franchise, Gibson is not one of them.
Gibson is a fossil and a total waste of a roster spot and Glen's money.

Gibson is trash. Costly trash that is.
Oh, yes. His expiring contract is certainly an issue. Give me a break.

He's an old fossil and wasting $$$$ and wasting developmental time. Oh wait, we have a coach who can't develop talent.

You're right. Gibson's presence is impeding the growth and development of heralded PF prospect... Hmm.
Yeah, you can continue to argue this all you'd like, but your points are silly and they hold no weight.

We can't sign anybody because our King Doofus signed Gorgui, Taj, Teague, Wiggs to ridiculous contracts and threw away top a 7 pick, a top 5 pick and Lavine to rent a psycho and drafted a gimpy big. With a boatload of cap space, lots of young talent and draft picks squandered, Taj and DRose are just impeding the development of young talent. You figure it out.
Re: Wolves VS Mr Big shot (Belly and the Kings)
Future All-Stars Taurean Prince and Buddy Hield were there for the taking, plus other quality players, Jamal Murray, Dejounte Murray and Sabonis. Future All-Stars Markennen and Donovan Mitchell were there at 7 and even the pick back could have netted us John Collins or Jarrett Allen. Plenty of talent we could have developed, but Thibs has no plan to develop future talent if it might cost him a win today.

Get Jimmy's bitchass out of here. Single handedly cost them that game. I can't believe they still haven't traded this cancer, at the very least sit him out until he does get traded. Before Mr. Soft gets hurt again and then you can't get anything for him.
I knew Thibs was an idiot the moment he traded Lavine for him, but I did not take him for such a sackless waste of space, allowing Jimmy to basically do whatever the fuck he wants on and off the court, he gave that game away and instead of sitting him at the end of the bench, the guy kept playing.
Taylor looking even worse. Trade his ass, and fire Thibs immediately afterwards.
This is making us look the the damn Browns of the NFL. I need a team in Vegas asap so I can stop following this garbage franchise.

It's incredible isn't it!? I think you summarized what nearly every fan feels.

The only bright spot to me in this game was Okogie's defense on Hield. The rest of his game sucked, but as long as he was guarding Hield, Buddy was a non-factor.
