Now that Juancho and Culver are gone who will it be? I am racking my brain to try and find out where I will direct my ire. I could see Beverly and Prince coming in and trying to do too much because this is the Wolves, but it is hard for me to find someone. So who should I hate? I dont know if I can adjust to liking all the players on my Wolves.

I'm almost positive it'll be Josh Okogie despite how likable he seems off the court. Guys that can't shoot are easy to grow tired of. Brick after brick after brick...

Right. The final holdout from the old era. It always felt to me like the better the team the more Josh would make sense. I dont see him getting anywhere near the same amount of PT. But good choice, I'll be ready.

You never know when the next "Josh Okogie, power forward" experiment will happen. Maybe that's why Minnesota hasn't addressed the position so far... I still get nightmares. Oof.

Your good buddy Rubio is gone too. You and Pork are going to be hurtin' for certain!

I'm 97.4% certain D. Russell will be the most polarizing player on the Timberwolves this season.

Interesting, Abe. In my view, this is THE pivotal season for DLO. He's either going to stay healthy and show the sort of consistent effort that can bring out his considerable talent, or he'll be the player he's been every season except that one all-star season in Brooklyn. If it's the latter, he'll be the most reviled member of this team's roster. If it's the former, he'll be fully appreciated by fans and fans will have to direct their dislike towards someone else - maybe Bolmaro. :). Right now I'm 50-50 on which DLO we're going to see.

What would be the other 2.6% doubt option?

Honestly I could see the Board turning on KAT this year if its another bad first half. You're as good as your best player.

Very good call. Also, if he plays poorly while putting on the drama queen act with the flailing, losing his cool, whining, etc. Hopefully his head is on straight now after a tough year and he's matured.
