Abe's Late Night DVR Review...

- Well, another team with more promising young talent than the Wolves.

- Towns needs more help.

- Atlanta - 65 rebounds. Minnesota - 47 rebounds. Towns had 18 rebounds... nobody else had more than 6.

- Andrew Wiggins had 3 rebounds in 40 minutes. The wing on the other team, D. Bembry, had 14 rebounds and taunted Wiggins down the stretch. He might have mentioned how his contract is $142M less than Wiggins.

- 11 Wolves played. Only KAT and Gibson hit half their shots... Gibson played 11 minutes.

- Good night.

I'd trade RoCo and Saric for JRich and a 1st. I think that would help our future outlook and asset pool.

Can we not rehash this? Ugh.

J rich is not good. We would have more dead money in waiters and it was lotto protected so it looks like a future 2nd.

So nah

4 million max

Tyus didn't shoot well tonight and he was outplayed by a great young PG. but he had 11 assists and 2 steals. He wasn't the problem tonight. The problems? Saric going 1-11 from the field. Wiggins taking 20 shots to score 21 points and getting g repeatedly smoked by Bembry. Rose taking 17 shots to score 18 points. If Tyus is worth $4 million per year then maybe Wiggins is worth $6M.

We need at least one more top 50 player next to KAT to actually compete in the west especially come playoff time. Moving Wiggins contract is probably the only way we accomplish that, not saying we get one in return for him but clearing his contract should be a massive priority. It's are only way to really put something special together, we could be good next few years if not and that's a maybe. To really be special though, moving Wiggins is a must. He could improve but that seems like a massive could at this point.

Lip, I'm honestly not sure if I would pay Wiggins more than Jones considering the latter tends to have a much more positive impact while on the floor. What a sad thing to say, but I think I'd stand next to that statement for the rest of their careers.

Tyus was awful defensively tonight, and there was absolutely a reason that he and Okogie were both minuses. He's a back up PG and his value has nothing to do Wiggins. He should be paid like a back up PG who gets around 15 mins a night.

Cam - Sadly, I actually find myself agreeing with you on this.

Nice win against Sacramento the other day (can you imagine writing that last year?), but losing this game was yet another disappointment, even on the road. I'm just finding it really hard to care about this team these days.
