Wolves admit time to "Rebuild"

[slinky]

Who are you guys comfortable trading?

Everyone not named Rubio/Wiggins/Lavine/Dieng.

There are certainly others I wouldnt want to trade, or just throw away(i.e. young, bennett, bazz), but wolves are in no position to ignore good deals for players that may not have a future or a definite starting role here.

First, another outsider coming to comment always love people like this.

I didn't know about Thad Young's mom, and he's still playing? Man, that's rough. Really don't want to blame him if he hasn't been up to par since.

If we do trade all the vets and go the slow approach we can all look forward to two or three more 20-30 win seasons. Oh joy.

Considering the Wolves are in the competitive Western Conference. Here are your true options:

Either go forward with what you have and suffer the delusional thoughts of fighting for a playoff spot.

OR

Do your franchise and the fans a favor and rebuild it from the ground up. Establish better chemistry, better identity, better Xs' and Os', and improve player development. Show the fans that will do whatever it takes to get this franchise on the right track this time. Even if it means going thru hell to get the job done right.

dude, you go through ten years without playoffs first then come back and tell us that.

As a Pistons fan with 5 years, going to be 6 without playoffs.. I think it's good for us to bottom out for a top pick at this point. If you hadn't got Wiggins, it'd probably be a similar story.

Lmaoooo. But it's a good point. You can't just continue to rebuild forever. You have to take a chance and try to move forward eventually. I think the Wolves are loaded with potential with the young guys they have acquired and before the season I figured they'd be able to win 30-35ish games in the West while growing together.
The injuries have been a setback... but I honestly think it might be an okay thing. It will get some of the younger guys more experience.. will help develop them more this year. In the offseason, maybe make a nice signing or trade and try what the Wolves wanted to do this year with everybody a year older. .
Good luck guys .

Yup. He took off about two weeks when it happened, but hasn't really been the same after he came back.

Look at 3-point shooting as an example. Was 6-11 prior to his mom's death, but just 1-13 since.

Why would the T-Wolves trade Kevin Martin? Doesn't it stand to reason with his reasonable contract that they could at least turn him into a viable sixth man with Lavine and Wiggins next to Rubio? Now Budinger and Brewer, sure GTFO, but Martin still has value next to Ricky. He's a legit 20 ppg scorer.
