Leadership
Our coach is in his early thirties. Our two best players are a couple of petulant children. We have no veteran presence. Where is the leadership going to come from? I suppose it doesn't matter because we have DLO?
Re: Leadership
Wait, I thought mentoring wasn't a real thing in the NBA.

Feels like you are over-rotating on this. I am reading through these threads and not seeing people thinking DLO is the savior of the franchise, yet you are reacting as if you MUST convince us that DLO isn't the franchise superstar we've all been hoping for.

If I'm over-rotating as you say, it's for one reason. And that reason is I want the membership to remember I was saying this isn't going to work from the beginning. Not after 5 games, 10 games, 50 games or 3 seasons. I want no misunderstanding what my stance was on the day of the trade.

At this point the only thing clearer than that was my opinion of Wiggins! :D

Re: Leadership
That being said, I apologize for being so annoying today. I wouldn't want to listen to what I've been harping on either.
But understand where this is coming from. I have been a fan from the first game this franchise ever played. I've bought in time and time again to new regimes, new coaches, new players. I saw the acquisition of Russell coming for weeks and dreaded it happening. In my view this just extended the misery we've all experienced for several more years. I hope I'm completely wrong on this, but I doubt it. I think I finally understand the truth regarding the Wolves. And I'm having a hard time dealing with it.

I'm not sure how that rumor got started, but I'll admit I did little to discourage it!

This made me laugh so hard. Thank you.
Re: Leadership
Its a new generation. The NBA is changing. Once Lebron is gone we are going to be overtaken by millennials. I honestly think a Towns/DLo vs the world vibe might work with their mentality. Theoretically the skill set should be complimentary. The rest of the team needs to be shooters and defenders. At this point Im cool with trying a Millennial approach. Its not like we got leadership out of Towns any other way. Let's get weird.
