Good for us, still feel bad for him especially in light of what he's been through personally in the last year. Perhaps not many families on earth more devastated by Covid than KAT's.


Uh yeah. For my part, I couldn't care less about where the draft pick falls and am just pulling for KAT. He strikes me as a fine young man.

The requisite 69 games played for my under 29 wins bet to qualify is officially in jeopardy.

Minny gone 1-1 with teams worse than them. So they got 2 wins they shouldn't win.

They should have enough wins to be 4/5 worse team.

They will have 2 games against the Dubbs in 10 days. They should be able to beat us with Kerr's rotation and their ability to out shoot us. The blueprint to beating GSW is working.... even Wolves can do that.

A not-insignificant chance we end up with 2 top 10 picks in next year's draft at this point. Wish we could trade 1 for Haliburton.

You might have to trade BOTH picks to land Halliburton. It's a question of one in the hand or two in the bush.

Between his play and the story that he wanted to go there, they are already building his statue.

You never know. With the bench mob trying to rescue the game every time, makes winning so much harder. If Dubbs loses both Wolves games, can I be the tank commander this year?

I am giving Kerr his A++ for trying so hard to get more of those lottery balls.

I am still hoping for pick 1 and 4. Forget Haliburton.

This is all so messed up for Karl Anthony-Towns. It wouldn’t surprise me if he pulled the pin on the season or something like that. He loses 7 including his mother to COVID, now he gets it as well. This virus is a curse on his family.

Oh no! Minny only 1/2 game behind the worst team. Toronto left them behind.

Kerr, make sure to throw the 2 games against Minny coming soon. More Oubre and Green lineup please.

They'll start winning some games whenever Towns comes back. Maybe better that they are digging a hole early.

Melo and amare should thrive in this offense. If Jeremy Tyler and cole Aldridge looked that good in summer league then us knick fans have a lot to be excited about. Make room for all the bandwagoners when we take off

If they get into too big a hole they may go all tank.

Looks like fans are calling for the tank already to keep that pick away from us.

Lucky coach and players have different agenda to screw the fans hope.

It’s the smart move. If you are going to give up such a high pick it has to be with the understanding that you can ultimately have some control if you give it up or not. That’s why I think they should trade it if they can get a good player for it.

May I ask why? The chances we get the pick anyways are 60% if their lottery ranking is either 1, 2, or 3. In this case I'd rather they get the worst record so that if we get the pick, it is guaranteed to be either 4 or 5.

Suggs said his role model is Russell Westbrook ..then he went out and played like RW vs St. Mary’s

Right or wrong..I’m sending him down on my wishlist..

That’s why I want the wolves to be the worst...4 , 5 in the 21 draft ..or I’ll take my chances in 22 (stronger class at the top from what I’ve seen so far)

A 40 % shooting from three Westbrook would be a monster.

Didn't your mom ever tell you to never be too greedy? :)

I want that pick as close to #4 now. If Wolves gets to keep the top 3 pick, they will finally have a 2nd franchise player in the best draft class since LeBron. They will not be bottom 5 (could be even less valuable pick) with what they have as a roster. All they need is a new coach and some roster changes. Just look at the Knicks, as an example, with a very bad roster. A good coach got them to middle pack.

I don't ever gamble. I take the pick now please with 100% certainty instead of 60% chance.... then to hope they suck next year, with more talent and a better coach.

Jaden Springer is looking amazing from Tennessee.

He’s definitely a good prospect in the 6-12 range. Keep an eye on him. Dude is currently shooting 60% from three and has awesome handles. Great passer as well.
