36 wins....(they'll win 50% if they play less)

Main reason for the optimism is big steps taken by Okogie and Culver....

A rotation with KAT, DLO, Ricky, Okogie, Beasley, Culver, Edwards....and company is legit .500 NBA team!

Lip, you have 10 minutes

Lip always waits until the preseason is over.

John Hollinger of The Athletic predicted the Wolves go 36-36 (.500), for what it's worth. It's not just the majority of us on this board that have some level of optimism for this team.

Well... the team was 19 - 45 last season... with Towns missing nearly half the season (granted he was still playing on one of the 10+ game losing streaks). And he and Russell only played one game together.

And Layman missed 41 games. And Rosas brought in new guys that better fit the preferred style.

Obviously, expecting a decent improvement should be a given. And if we're to believe that Rosas didn't just shit the bed entirely on several moves... we should see it. Enough to reach .500... I have my doubts even though I picked 35 wins.

I wonder how many of those wins were because we signed his FA guy RHJ. Lol

Anyone still think we are in the same class as the Memphis teams of the league who will be fighting for an 8 seed in the West?

Anyone want to take a bet that the Thibs lead Knicks get more wins then the Ryan Saunders led Wolves?

I don't foresee KAT playing like ass all year, which he's done consecutively against Memphis.

This team goes as he goes. Everything else -- every other player -- is irrelevant if he isn't at least the KAT we know him to be.
