Glenn's gotta cover his pandemic losses guys.

How much more is Glenn doling out for DLO?

I have to believe that the Wolves front office has a trade in the works that will better balance the roster. At the moment, our roster includes the following guards:

1. Russell
2. Okogie
3. Culver
4. Edwards
5. Rubio
6. Nowell

We'll have a 7th guard if the Wolves re-sign Beasley as they were intending to do, at least before the recent window into his depravity.

That just can't stand. So I have to believe that at least two of those guards, maybe more, will be dealt along with at least two of our remaining three draft picks.

Never forget when Zach LaVine mouthed "fuck me" after getting selected by the Wolves. I knew he was going to be a fan favorite that very day.

Just so you all realize the magic turned down the deal that portland then turned around qnd offered houston for covington which was two first rounders for gordon. The magic rejected two 1st rounders for gordon from portland.

Shocked the Nuggets didn't take RJ. They always snag the best talent that falls

Love listening to Doc Rivers talk about Maxey's competitiveness and mental toughness. He understands the qualities you need to be successful in the NBA.

The proper amount you would expect a number 1 scoring, primary ball handling player in today's game to get paid

There is no comparison. Ricky's defense is so much better than DLO. DLO has been benched by multiple coaches for his poor defense.

Yeah 5 years ago you're right.

5 years ago i was right, 4 years ago I was right, 3 years ago i was right, 2 years ago I was right, last year I was right and now, I'm right. DLO is atrocious on defense.

So is Rubio. So slow. He's always looked great statistically relative to his shitty units.

Now you are being irrational. There isn't a single NBA coach, player, or front office person who would agree that Ricky is a poor defender....and certainly not as bad as DLO. Get a grip.

The one good defensive team he was on wanted him out. Every other unit he has been on has stunk. Great defenders elevate the team, Rubio has never been capable of that by any means and now he's older and even slower. I know his stans will never blame him for how bad his old wolves units used to be or how bad our d will be next year. He's always been seen in the rose by those who love him.

So the only way someone is a good defender in your book is if they drag the entire four guys with him? I guess that makes Okogie and Culver poor defenders as well then. It's odd that you hold him to a standard that is literally unattainable for all but a few players in this league.

Rubio has been a key component of some of the worst defenses in the league on the wolves. It would have been nice for him to move us at least out of the basement. Im asking for a noticable impact, like get us to 20 if youre the only good defender.

I've seen many a player in the NBA and NFL cry on draft day only to never be heard from again. I don't think we should be reading into that too much. He's got enough question marks.lol
