Whether we manage to find a dominant big in the draft or not at least this team will be god damn exciting to watch in the next couple years. :nod:

We had our chance and sold it, I wanted us to take him with that pick(albeit I wanted him or Nemanja Nedovic, 1 for 2). He would look so great in a Wolves uniform right now.

Very happy to see Zach step up and take his chance.

The sad thing is, I don't think Glen Taylor has any idea how costly selling those picks can be and he'd do it again.

Talking about regrets, we also had Nikola Mirotic and we give away for Norris Cole.

Still hurts.

RE: tanking, I don't think Flip wants us to finish with the worst record, but if I was a reporter I would love to ask him this question.

If we were still in the playoff hunt, how many of the injured guys would have played tonight?

Also, maaan is that Trey Burke trade looking good right now, he was awful tonight. 4-22 and two of the ugliest attempted game winners late.

Did they really insinuate that Neal's ankle "injury" was a tanking move? Look at the play from the game last night idiots.

I really like how Wiggins and LaVine are so tight. I'm not sure LaVine will ever be traded away from Wiggins. I'm still high on Russell from the draft, and LaVine could easily be a scorer off the bench, but we'd probably have too much talent on the wings.

To be honest I think Bazz and Dieng might be traded out together in the future. I'm sure they would fetch a hell of a lot more than just Trey Burke :P

Can we call Lavine clutch officially? He hit some big free throws against New York and then tonight. I love his composure. You can't teach that. These flashes of Lavine that he shows just make me so excited to see what he develops into.

This team is just so much more fun to watch and I think will develop much quicker without KMart. Yes he's a good player but way too many quick contested shots that really stunt the development of our future. I don't know when the last time I enjoyed a game as much as this one. Usually I'm just frustrated watching Martin chuck up another shot with ten seconds left on the clock and he's double teamed

This is definitely a game I'll remember. We were so overmatched and on the second night of a back to back yet Wiggins and Lavine took this team on their backs. It's important to note how incredibly thin our frontcourt was tonight. Payne is very raw, Gorgui was pretty outmatched against Gobert, and Budinger was our PF for most the game, especially the important 4th/OT!

Just on a different note, outside of the millions of dollars he's going to make, it has to be terrible being Rudy Gobert. I don't know how a guy that long could possibly fit in a car or a plane and actually be comfortable. I wonder if that guy can actually find a bed that could fit him

To me, this could be LaVine's version of Shabazz's Suns game. He has had some other good games this year, but those clutch shots were huuuuge.

I'm glad that Flip has started to figure out that Zach is not PG.
