I'm fine with standing pat, especially with good chemistry. However, I would like to see something on the buyout market for a defensive big. Team isn't perfect and not a top 5, but we've seen them be very good offensively and defensively at different points the season.

Optimist in me says this summer we'll have $8 million from JO and Layman expiring and likely our 1st rounder is probably half that (unless we tack on 2nd rounders to move up). Probably get Bev and Prince's $14 and $13m down a bit and we'd be in a good spot for adding a vet on MLE. Pick or MLE should get us missing piece enough to jump up a level with the continuity.

I am incredibly thankful that Sachin Gupta didn't ham-fist a trade to "impress" the new owners.


How many trades has Gupta done? I can do the same for half the money man.

The Wolves did the right thing. The ship is heading in the right direction and the team has a chance to host and win the play-in game game.

Let's go!


Nope nope nope, this team has serious holes and Gupta is just looking the other way! No one was asking for a big splashy move!!!

Tell us who you wanted then?
LETS GO WOLVES!!! 8-)

I will do it for 1/4 and free wolves tickets. I will keep my pants zipped the whole time. Unlike the former GM.

We got some incompetent gms running the show. Can't get any traded or FA signing every summer and deadline. We seriously need to fix our interior d and rebounding. We might make playoffs. But we're not going to make it past the 1st rd. Suns or Warriors will destroy us. Friqqin dlo always struggle against both teams too. Curry and booker are 2x better than him. And he was drafted higher than those guys. I doubt dlo will ever be allstar against nor win a nba championship.

Many times the best trade is the one you don't make.

If some hot intern came calling you sure you'd keep your pants zipped?

I would ask her to find me a friend who is also a hot intern somewhere else and then when I am out with her my zipper is my business.

Nope. She's not going to find you a friend. She considers you the hottest man on the planet and wants only you. :lol:

Lol. Then I send her to therapy for some serious issues and I make sure the therapist is hot. Again, my zipper is my business after hours and far away from my employees.

Once the little head starts thinking for the big head all that goes out the window.
Beautiful young women have a way of being incredibly persuasive.

By that logic all men are helpless and must cheat whenever a young women is interested. Or at least when she is both interested and hot.

Honestly it's tough under those circumstances and a lot of men do cheat. However, so do women. I haven't cheated when I've been in a commitment though. However, a couple times some girl thought I was committed to her and I wasn't.

Outside of dunking he's shown himself to be a bonehead. I'd even say Layman can do everything he does but better.
