Very plausible wolf (if a trade is made)

One of the most obvious takeaways from this season is that teams in the West need to start strategizing for the Wemby era
Goals: drag him out of paint, bc you’re fucked if not
Needs: shooters at all spots, max one NS on court ever, corner threats from every big you draft
English
@DietBeginsMon Not even disagreeing, just love the idea of Giannis playing with corpses and newbies and waiting for the fan base to react to one of the top picks looking like third year Kobe on a bad team
English
@Jerry7goda I honestly am not sure I’m in love with Dybantsa so if it’s him or Gianni’s I’d rather go Gianni’s
I like Booze, Petersen or Wilson tho
English
@DietBeginsMon I dunno, seems like a great way to shorten your tenure even if it’s correct.
English
@Jerry7goda Getting the 10th pick back I think curbs that worry tho is kinda what I’m getting at
English
@companeromarcus One of my pet theories is that the NBA should be closer to MLB for scheduling. If you played all four season matchups in a row vs a team you’d see more of this
Obvious downsides but also would spice things up when guys were cooking out of the pantry more often
English
the regular season sucks because while there is occasionally experimentation (due to injury), there's never the level of creativity borne of desperation that you get in the playoffs
English
@tmetcalf11 Tyler, how soon do you think “promises” start getting handed out in reality? (Not saying it’s related here, but have always been kind of generally curious.) Loving your content, keep up the good work and say ‘hi’ to Rucker.
English
Huh. Did not get that vibe from his first scrimmage.

@G_Reg_88 @DietBeginsMon I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out why Brooklyn would take Randle into cap space
English
@DietBeginsMon @Jerry7goda they need to get creative, outside the box - look into taking on what might be considered worse contracts for picks this year on plug and play guys.
English
It really is hard to see exactly how the Wolves can get meaningfully better next year
English
@Jerry7goda @G_Reg_88 I don’t think people realize how much a real ball handle and get to the pant to play make with his handle would do wonders for this team
It just would open up so much, Rudy/Jaden/Naz all level up and Ant doesn’t have to do everything on offense now to get plays started
English
@DietBeginsMon @G_Reg_88 For sure, I’ve spent a ton of time with the trade machines and almost nothing makes sense tbh
Just don’t see them trying to improve team culture by offloading Julius’ bad on-court habits and bringing on Morant’s baggage on/off court
English
@Jerry7goda @G_Reg_88 I really think it’s gonna be hard to trade him — I think you’re looking at maybe like 3-4 teams that are even gonna be open to the idea of a very mid 32 year old who needs to be used like he’s LeBron James to get top 50 play out of him
Suns are a team desperate enough
English
@DietBeginsMon @G_Reg_88 I think a more plausible route would be to trade Randle for a “this guy could maybe be better than he has been $10-15M and this is one of the worst contracts in the league $15-20M” aggregated with a 2nd
Do I have those guys lined up? No
But I think it might go that route
English
@G_Reg_88 @Jerry7goda Yes it is - we are not going to get an offer that makes us obviously better for Randle and few teams are going to be interested in him at all

SGA on IG: “I’m not thinking about how I could've ate more, i'm thinking about how I could win eight more.”
English
@DietBeginsMon Pretty much yes
attilathehans@attilathehans_
Early season preview post: 1. Jaden slow defensively early in the year 2. Ant’s defensive commitment is a first five possessions of the game thing 3. Julius has a strong, steady start 4. Turnovers remain Achilles’ heel 5. Starting lineup underperforms 6. Second unit overperforms
English
To be fair to the Wolves I don’t think they are choking - they just were never a secret title contender hiding in a 49 win team, Tim Connelly built a 49 win team and they are playing like it
Phil Mackey 🎙@PhilMackey
It is honestly impressively pathetic how soft and fragile every men’s Minnesota sports team has been for 35 years… The losing, underachieving and choking are generational. Baked into DNA. Who wants to rise up and break the pattern? Nobody so far.
English
@companeromarcus @sarahhinde I think getting shooting from bigs is just going to be extremely important going forward, and that’s the biggest concern with our roster, as we only have one of those and he’s more of a 3.5/4 than a 4/5.
English
@sarahhinde not necessarily spot up but 3s in general. the spurs do not shoot very many and that'll probably be how they lose.
English
@DietBeginsMon The hardest trial of my life is watching him throw his hands up and give the best athletes in the world a 20 ft head start in the other direction before he starts to jog in pursuit
English
The playoffs really expose how garbage Julius Randles game is he is just begging for foul calls and doesn’t have anything if he doesn’t get them
English
Back in Minnesota watching Spurs-Wolves on the big ass TV. Game 5 when a series is 2-2 it is a fantastic scenario and often lives up to it. We'll see
English
@DietBeginsMon This one is for GM Nostradamus who also has a concrete plan for who we should trade production for / should’ve traded production for, welcome Michael Porter Jr I’m sure this guy will be pumped
English
@DietBeginsMon Awesome but you also wanted to swap finch for adelman and want to give you the chance for a redo given that the coach with the arguable best player in the world was gonna bring that one home for y’all (BPA+BCA)
English
Wolves in 6, hammer drops tonight
@DietBeginsMon
Also keep Finch
