He should be pissed, he's a better all around player than either starting guard... the only reason he's probably not starting is because he's professional and wouldn't put up a stink.

No, but I wouldn't mind seeing it.

It never ceases to surprise me how bad KAT is on defense. It happens like three times a game where he does something and I just groan.
Going to be a long season

Thanks. I'm just saying that we're paying the max for the leftovers that nobody else really wanted. Kinda depressing that we gave up our lottery pick (let's be honest) for "the right" to pay that guy the max.
You do realize that the alternative was paying Andrew Wiggins to continue being a disappointment, right? Wiggins has one of the worst contracts in the entire league for what he produces. Oof. I digress...

Being pissed makes him slow?? In any event, it's not like Ricky to get pissed about not starting and then to act out of the floor. But maybe he's pissed that he's on a bad team. I'll definitely cut him slack if that's his beef. This is a really bad team. And Ricky might have lost a step, but he's not the core problem. The core problem is the team's core, along with the coaching.
I agree that Ricky's in more of a supplemental role now and the burden is on KAT and DLO to live up to their max salaries and for Edwards to show that the Wolves didn't make a mistake Maybe Ricky's dinged up. I am not watching tonight's game and won't until regular season starts up.

I wouldn't mind watching this roster play in Rick Adelman's corner offense.

I get the complexities of the Wig/DLo trade. Wigs contract is terrible. But what will it take for you to give objective analysis of DLo?

Seriously, perhaps the biggest problem with this team is the mismatch between style and talent. Adelman's corner offense would be a much better fit for this team.
I was listening to the broadcast with my back to the TV about 20 minutes ago when I heard Rosas talking about playing fast. I swear that for a moment I thought I was listening to David Kahn.

An NBA "expert" predicted 36 wins for THIS team? Hope he has a lot of job security.
