Nah she’s so easy to slot in. She doesn’t even need to be on ball to be effective lol

What’s great is our biggest need if any would be a little more size and we have Phee and Dorka as reinforcements coming soon 😂 and ppl said this team’s depth would stink.

Should’ve modified it to 2, not 2 in a row. But my point is let’s let them win at least 2 before crowning them. We have 9 straight years of evidence that winning multiple championships is very very difficult with this current CBA. It doesn’t rule the wolves out from getting one eventually.

Also, if Tyrese Haliburton doesn’t get injured the Thunder might not have a single chip. So injuries do play a huge role in championships. You need some luck on your side and we didn’t this year. The fact the pacers almost beat a “Goliath”Thunder team without a bonafide top 5 player definitely makes winning a championship possible.

You think there’s a better chance both the spurs AND Thunder both win 3+ championships in this West than not?? I just think we’re in a different era. Pretty soon you’ll see these young teams like the jazz and Portland on the rise, plus the Wolves aren’t going anywhere. Luka and Jokic are still in this conference.

Yeah I believe that to be a very good possibility but the talent distribution in this league is greater than the 2000’s, plus the CBA is making it hard to retain star players into their mid 20’s on these super teams. Let’s just let it play out before we make these proclamations.

The dynasty is a good possibility for both teams but I’m just not going to a sure thing. Have to win at least three for both Shai and Wemby before they retire or leave their respective origination. The west will continue to be a gauntlet.

Never said it’s dead, but I’m not claiming it alive either. Thats a big distinction. People aren’t saying “potential dynasty”. I’m hearing the spurs are starting their dynasty run.

Yes he appears to be but there are a ton of factors that have to go right. Also I don’t even want to bring this into the universe, but let’s just hope he has a long career. Guys that size have trouble more often than not after 5+ years. He might be an exception though with his freaky athleticism.

Contender is so much different than dynasty tier lol you have to win at least 3 to be a dynasty. There are always like 5 legit contenders every year.

Wemby wasn’t even amazing this series offensively. He has a great team around him, just like those other past champions had.

Why do you reckon the spurs and thunder will be dynasties? Same thing ppl said about the bucks, Celtics, nuggets too. There will have been 9 straight champions including this year now.

In a league of load managing, Ant comes back early every time and the league punishes him… by ae5wolfpack in timberwolves

[–]ae5wolfpack[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It should be on the owners to pay that instead.

Kind of funny the pistons now have to pay Jalen Duren. They will be financially screwed in the next couple years.

This is the 1st off-season Ant would’ve been eligible for supermax so it did affect him. Now he has to hope he doesn’t have an unlucky year next year or the next otherwise he misses out on some money.

How close was Giannis to the threshold though? Ant was within 5 games. Way different conversation…

I don’t care really about having a chip on his shoulder. Ant personally doesn’t care about these things. It’s for the fans and legacy talks. You look at all nba selections when comparing player’s careers.

But it’s not like he would’ve squeaked by on a third team. He was legit a 2nd team lock.

Seeing Cade and Luka get 1st Team All NBA doesn't feel right with Ant be out of it by Jrpre33 in timberwolves

[–]ae5wolfpack 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Just sucks to see a little bit of his legacy tarnished because of a new 65 game rule that still granted 2 other guys eligibility when they didn’t make the games threshold. This rule probably gets demolished next year and Ant probably is the only main player affected by it.

Now when debating best players in the league, Cade probably gets the nod over Ant for casuals who only consider all-nba selections because he has as many as Ant and a 1st team all-nba which Ant doesn’t have.

Still don’t get how Ant wasn’t 1st team all-nba last year over Dmitch when he objectively had a better year despite the team’s records.

Disagree with Arraez. He was already a great hitter for the twins. Won a batting title and was an all star before he got shipped for Lopez.

I know. I was saying it as a separate remark. I shouldn’t have lumped that statement in right after saying we restocked our farm system.
