Yeah, no crap. The belief was we would be breaking even or winning wasn't it? That doesn't involve coughing up a 1rst rounder

We won't be a bottom five team.

But a team with no Russell, no Wiggins, and no Teague might be.

Good point.

You stay in the game as long as you can, otherwise you’re not really even trying. I can’t blame Rosas for trying to make the team better and I can’t blame him for not pulling off something that would have been very difficult. This wasn’t an easy situation.

Oh it could have been much easier than this.

If you’re willing to make bad trades. Everything is easy if you’re willing to give up too much.

I'm with you on this. I've seen it done before.

Conspiracy theories aside...

Any player with soul that finds out hes not worth his contract and the other 29 teams wouldn't dare touch him... itd make him want to get better and prove the doubters wrong

Except for Andrew. He'll shrug it off.. and play less efficient than last season

All indications are that Durant made the decision today. Interesting thing is that the Warriors took a couple players off the Nets hands to make the deal so they are not only paying Russell the Max they are paying other crappy players as well.

Durant to Nets was announced as done on Wednesday tho?

No it wasn't. It was rumored. Durant himself could be lying, but he said he decided today.

I feel sick right now. Anyone but the God damn **** Warriors. This is just justifying all the hate I already felt for that team. **** man, I should have known better than to get excited for something good to happen to this **** franchise.

How about I really get your hopes up and say we will take Wiggins back? We need a SF!

You mock our pain. You are evil incarnate.

You just want RoCo. So now it's going to be RoCo for Dlo at 114 Million?

Sick of these no cap teams. Ruining it for everyone. Oh hell well drop Durant and pick up a backup #2 overall PG to spell Steph freaking Curry. Why would they drop Iggy unless they had a plan for his replacement?

No thanks. With our luck, Wiggins would start scoring 25-28 ppg and playing defense the moment he got traded. :banghead:

It will happen that’s the timberwolf way.

Jarrett won't brick them in SL. Even this college season when he was playing the scrubs he lit it up from 3. Now in NBA games his 3 will probably be a work in progress. His shot actually turned bad when he fixed his crappy form. He just needs some time to adjust to it. By his second year here I'm on record that he will be shooting threes at over 35%.

I don't care if he's dropping 50 burgars all season. He refuses to do it here. That's all the truth there is to this.

I'm not even that mad. Don't know if Russell is THAT good. The main thing that was great about the rumors was getting rid of Wiggins contract. We will see what this team looks like after the summer but right now, we in trouble. May be in for a couple of rebuilding years which would absolutely suck but I don't see how we are competing with what we got. Too early to say for sure though. If anything this should fuel Rosa's desire to get this team on track more. Guy has been shut down hard a couple times this month.

I can absolutely see the Warriors offering Russell to us for RoCo. However, that's RoCo at 11 million vs Russell at 28 Million. And they offer nothing to help us with the cap.

I would love to. But they make it so hard to watch these SL games. There is only a couple the Wolves are even involved in, and then it's impossible to gain access to many of them.

Sure they can take Dieng back, maybe even Teague. Money is no object there. If RoCo is who they want they can take on whoever and release.
