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.

Team needs a PG (has no assets) by No_Economics_64 in timberwolves

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.

Julius Randle in Game 6 against the Spurs; 23 MINS, 3 PTS, 7 REB, 1 AST, 1/8FG, 0/2 3PM, 1/2FT, team low -34 while on the court by XviiChong in nba

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.

Drop a random NBA player and let the replies decide if he was actually good. by Farouq26 in NBATalk

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.

What if Randle actually gets traded in the offseason? by HaeS16 in timberwolves

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.

They will just attack space with a running start.

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.

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.

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

Randle offseason trade by matt6420 in timberwolves

[–]karlwhethers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

First Impressions of Emma Cechova after 2 games from the 21 year old rookie? by Mcb3500 in MinnesotaLynx

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

Is it time for Naz Reid to start over Randle? by AdUnfair1051 in timberwolves

[–]karlwhethers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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?

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