It's called manufacturing hope Bleed. Even if some of the traditional Western powers continue to come back to the pack, there are still young teams out there with better nuclei than we have.

Let's put it this way. A few months ago the hope was Wiggins would finally get it. I'm ok betting on Russell being something more impactful than Wiggins and I was a person that held out more hope for Wiggins than most and that's probably still the case. Sure that may be a low bar but I'm not looking for banners. I'd be happy to have the success and failures of the Vikings the past few years for this franchise. That would be a MASSIVE step forward from what we have been seeing much of that timeframe as Wolves fans.

Being the Cleveland Browns of the NBA sucks.

To be fair Kat and Dlo literally played one game together last year. To say they lead us to the 3rd worse record in the NBA I don't know how fair that is.

I was saying DLO with Warriors and KAT with Wolves. 34 wins between both teams which is 2 more wins combined than Memphis which was lead by a pair of 20-year-old rookies.

And how does the Warriors roster Russell was playing on compare to teams that won more games? How did it compare to some franchise's G-league teams?

That's what scares me...

As bad as the Warriors were... and as little as they cared about winning...

The Wolves won only 4 more games.

Something to consider.

Josh Okogie and Jarrett Culver led the wolves in minutes this season. If I told you that to start the season how many wins would you have predicted?

Good question. I would say 20-25.

I'd say 50, but then I always say 50.
