Oh, Hell no! don't do it Thibs!!!

Would much rather wait on Tony Allen despite his real estate jumper.

Why are they still talking about this? http://www.startribune.com/wolves-jimmy-butler-says-he-s-leaving-rose-decision-up-to-coach-tom-thibodeau/474529953/

Yeah, I thought Taylor basically said (diplomatically) that we weren't interested.

Waiting for the Knicks to buy out Noah. He's a guy I'd be interested in signing for the rest of the season.

Yep Taylor has said it twice now. He told Wolfson that they needed a shooter or a guy that can defend.

It's almost like the media likes to push these weird Thibs headlines out to get clicks and stir the pot. How many of these reunion rumors stories do we need to see? What about how Thibs is anti player development? And don't forget how he grinds his players down. These are topics the media have forced down our throats and are overexaggerated greatly. It's very annoying.

A big factor is I don't think any media gets any or much info from anyone significant in the Wolves organization so it's all sources from other teams agents etc giving what they know or what they think the Wolves might do.

That's a great take, Monster. I can tell you that I used to have a number of really good sources and now I can't get anything from anyone. Of course, I'm not a reporter, but I suspect it has been tough sledding for media folks to get information from this organization. So as you noted, reporters starved for information depend on agents and other organizations who engage in uninformed speculation or who offer false or misleading information to suit their interests.

It's fun to look at how the inners of organization changed with changes of personell. 3 years ago I couldn't get any out of the people I knew in the Twins scouting department, but now since the new dynamic duo took over and replaced most of the scouts the people I do know from my time working in scouting I been able to get more information than usual. I knew the twins were taking Lewis for about a month but I told my buddy I wouldn't tell shhhhhhh :)
