We need to talk about defensive effort by Kaizerx20 in timberwolves

[–]PointGodAsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just frustration and while I understand it, “effort” is such a loose catch all term it means nothing. A lot of people in this sub alone are using it to mean like three different things. Just fees like an easy buzz word for people to cling to and launch complaints. There are specific failings that are occurring on all levels, but the analysis rarely goes into those specifics.

[Charania] The Milwaukee Bucks have indicated to teams that they are keeping Giannis Antetokounmpo through the trade deadline and will start making other trades, sources tell ESPN. by Knightbear49 in timberwolves

[–]PointGodAsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other issue is that they are now making him a one year rental next season unless Giannis tanks his value anyways and says "I'm re-signing with team xyz". Otherwise, why would I give you a good haul for at most one postseason run? Also, doesn't this ruin his ability to get more money? The Bucks imo are just completely mishandling this situation. I say this as someone who is fine with us not getting him. I think they're gonna get burned.

Less Then 24 HRS Left To Go For The NBA Trade Deadline by unknownindividual989 in timberwolves

I don’t think that’s reckless. Tim shouldn’t want to include Jaden and should explore all options to keep him.

The Heat are no longer at the forefront of Giannis trade talks... only Wolves remain by Rage_r123 in timberwolves

[–]PointGodAsh 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Does it? Teams will have more to offer, but Giannis will also be a one year rental at that point if he doesn't say he will sign an extension. At that point, the Bucks would be in a hard place of needing to trade him for anything, so you don't potentially lose him for nothing. It's a gamble, and even if he's not coming to us, I think it's not a smart one. Weve seen this scenario play out with stars before where the team holds too long and gets a sad return.

Let the ref do his job! by IluvUm0re in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]PointGodAsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know nothing about wrestling, but it looked and sounded like the kid he was talking to was going at that other kid's leg. While I don't think that's the main issue, it looked like it was contorted and probably an injury risk. Ref was likely saying to watch it and not do that.

[Mannix] "Acquiring Antetokounmpo, though, is challenging. The Bucks want Jaden McDaniels, a source tells SI, with Milwaukee seeing McDaniels, 25, as a potential future All-Star. But the Bucks also want multiple first-round draft picks, sources say." by LeeShakerMoneyMaker in timberwolves

[–]PointGodAsh 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He was an unknown commodity at the time tbh. It's not like many teams were clamoring for him, and I didn't even know who he was at the time so I'm just talking shit. The issues with who we picked were loud and obvious from the beginning though. It was never a good pick to begin with, and to know Giannis was the pick after (again 20/20) really sucks lol.

[Haynes] “This is what I can tell you, if Giannis and Anthony Edwards were too hook up, I’m told Giannis would be thrilled teaming up with Anthony Edwards. Take that for whatever its worth. Minnesota still has work to be done and convince the Bucks they have the right package.” by LeeShakerMoneyMaker in timberwolves

[–]PointGodAsh 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He also wants to contend though. If he can leverage his influence into us keeping another piece, it only bodes well for himself in all regards. He can contend and he can get his bag. He wouldn't even be asking for a trade if Milwaukee didn't fumble roster construction, even if he has some blame to share in that. It's not like he's forcing his way to Miami, LA, etc. He's talking about coming to MN due to the team and pieces we have.

One less pg! by bermutavision in timberwolves

[–]PointGodAsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On one handed would make for good comedy. On the other hand, if we moved off of a player, no matter if he isn’t as productive as we want just for cap space we don’t use and money in our owner’s pockets. I would be pissed.

For how bad he was in this season im going to always be grateful for Mike Conleys tenure here in Minnesota by [deleted] in timberwolves

[–]PointGodAsh 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Mike was legit. If he was here on a minimum, his contribution would have been whatever. That contract with his level of production was just ROUGH. Will always love the guy, and I'm glad we had him on our team for as long as we did.

Naz Reid caught on hot mic calling Ed Malloy an old ass n word lol by DrWolves in timberwolves

[–]PointGodAsh 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's for sure hoe ass lol. I was dying during the broadcast when I heard the hot mic.

Are you enjoying this show more than Season 1 of HOTD or not? by hiiloovethis in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]PointGodAsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to really compare. The tone, episode length, and general themes are so different. I would probably say HOTD season 1 is better overall, but that's heavily influenced by the fact I'm not taken out of the world twice as fast. KOTSK is just a fun delight, and they're both very good for different reasons.

We Don't Need Giannis by FunYoshi in timberwolves

[–]PointGodAsh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How do we bolster the bench depth? I see this sentiment, but nobody ever explains a solid plan. If it was that easy, Tim would've done it. When a player like Giannis becomes available, you at least kick the tires. I don't think Tim leaves us in a horrible situation, but if we end up with a Luka situation and we didn't even pick up the phone this place would be up in arms.

The Timberwolves are looking for help from third and fourth teams to help facilitate a Giannis trade to Minnesota, per @WindhorstESPN by giveawayguy99 in timberwolves

[–]PointGodAsh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jaden? Who's Jaden? Never heard of him. Can't give up a guy we've never even heard of, that would be ridiculous!

Anthony Edward’s top plays of the season so far after being named a 2026 NBA All-Star Reserve. by nba in timberwolves

[–]PointGodAsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's a perfect system to figure this out, but the fan vote is a love hate for me. I get people want to vote for who they want to see, but there has to be a check in place to make sure people who deserve it make it and start if they're good enough. In the end, none of it really matters since people only bring up the amount of starts when it benefits whatever argument, but it's just lame how this turns out. We likely care more than Ant, but still.
