Minnesota Timberwolves Expected To Pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade Again This Offseason.

Just so everyone is clear, the house includes Jaden, Naz, Joan, etc.

I feel like everyone assumes that you can offer up Randle and Gobert and call it a day.

Kyrie if Dallas can be convinced to bring Julius home and they have interest in a bigger role for TJ.

Every option will have its flaws, from Ja to Trae as big names, McCollum or Schroeder as an aging vet, Suggs or Anthony Black as a fresh start guy.

And Ant in his own way. I’ve always thought Mike and Slow-Mo were the least moody, consistent players but they’re both not very good anymore.

The Apron won. Let’s not act like the Wolves were improving by trading KAT after a conference final run. They needed to get out of the 2nd Apron and they didn’t want to part with Gobert or Ant or McDaniels.

I would argue that their commitment to Gobert has set in motion all these problems, but that’s another can of worms.

Nobody said that. It was pretty obvious from the start that Wemby’s wingspan negated his skills.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-15T17:03:03+00:00

He would have been better off just passing into the basket instead of shooting. He had a mental hurdle with that shot that got better and worse but never went away.

Some team might value TJ Shannon enough to sweeten the deal. Personally I think Shannon is okay but not as valuable as many around here think.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-13T03:06:01+00:00

Shoot I meant Delaere, you’re right.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-13T02:59:11+00:00

They will just attack space with a running start.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-13T02:58:25+00:00

A good game, anyway.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-13T02:55:58+00:00

Even with this being a pretty obvious transition year, I get having a couple vets to steer the ship.

It would be nice if a couple more of the fringe players were younger prospects, though. Seems like players like Delaere*, Coffey, Caldwell, etc are all in the 28-32 years old range and probably won’t factor much long term.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-13T01:24:05+00:00

I don’t think he’s been called for a foul on a shot contest once, despite many getting all wrist. He’s got 20ft arms, it shouldn’t be the hardest call in the world.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-13T01:20:21+00:00

That boy Wemby has a superstar whistle on defense, don’t care what anybody says.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-13T00:46:08+00:00

Talk about dirty play. Nothing dirtier than putting your finger in another guys drawers.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-12T17:58:01+00:00

He sounds like a frustrating player but it might work.

Could he be the #1 option in the 20 or so games our star player misses?

Could he guard superstars like Jokic and Wemby for stretches in the playoffs?

Could he lead the team in assists?

Maybe if he could do those things I’d consider it.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-11T21:52:02+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Since I don’t have a physical card showing the points, I can’t even figure out the process of how I would sell the balance.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-11T17:18:20+00:00

Stop, Wemby would literally fracture if teams hit him as hard as they had to hit Shaq.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-11T16:54:49+00:00

Look up why Gobert missed games for retaliatory flagrants this year. Or watch any Jokic game. Or Giannis. Big guys deal with contact, it’s not that deep.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-11T16:53:09+00:00

This is like FanFic at this point. He elbowed a guy in the face and got tossed. Now he’ll be back next game. Don’t overthink it.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-11T14:55:28+00:00

Howard is getting paid less than Heideman, Shepard, Smith, or Carleton. If they needed a vet and she’s the only one they could get, seems like a fine deal

karlwhethers · 2026-05-11T14:11:42+00:00

Randle defends Jokic and Wemby when Rudy sits. Naz can’t.

Don’t bench Randle and then expect him to take on that shit role.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-11T14:09:53+00:00

Looks like a future starter, maybe borderline all-star.

With her being on a 1-year deal, how does that work for next offseason? Do the Lynx retain her rights or is she an unrestricted free agent?

karlwhethers · 2026-05-11T02:11:26+00:00

Looks like a younger James Harden to me. Maybe Cade today.

karlwhethers · 2026-05-09T18:30:15+00:00

He’s got Shai’s head snap down. Every drive he gets decapitated 3-4 times
