That being said, he is 100% gonna opt out barring injury or something weird. Not because of anything to do with Minny or winning or something but because he's a good player and can lock down another solid long term deal.


Don`t you think Min will offer him this long term deal if he plays good/fits ?


Could be just one of those deals where the opt-out is a formality, and that he plans to re-sign in MN. Just a $ thing.


I take his comments as him leaving 100%, not just the way he re-signs

Nah. I think if the Wolves have a "promising" (not necessarily "good" season) that he'll stay. He had 7 long years in PHI, dealt with tanking - mentioned in a couple ways how he appreciates coming somewhere that at least wants to win, and has loved the reception.

All I said was that he's opting out of his current contract. If Minny puts in the highest bid for him next summer I'm sure they would have a very good chance of bringing him back.

I think we did a good job of making the new guys feel welcome. From the GM handing out hats at the airport to the building top interview to the fair. They did a great job.

Nobody got a better welcome than Rubio though. He got that star treatment,
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

Kevin Love and Thaddeus Young are different type player, maybe Young will be better for Wolves...

Ofc they will start him. He is the 2nd higher payed player on their roster. 1st is Richardson :rofl:
