Let’s trade Edwards to Jazz for Bailey and all Wolves 1sts back plus plus.

Let’s trade McDaniels to Kings for DDR and Wolves 1st back.

Let’s trade Gobert, Randle and Reid to highest bidders!

Start the tank for a decade.

**** if we could get all our picks back and only have Ant and TSJ, Beringer, Clark on the roster I'd **** take that. If we could get any other value out that would be awesome.

Except that the first proposal was to trade Ant for Bailey and the balance of the Wolves #1's from Utah. . .

Things happen, it is not the end, although this is not the team I thought I'd see when signing up for league pass :banghead:

If TC trades Ant he deserves the Nico treatment

Certainly doesn't bode well when you cannot defeat a depleted Lakers' team.

Ok, so the Wolves once again do not look good to start the season. I know some of it is missing Ant, but what I'm hoping for is some clarity moving forward, seeing what this team is like without it's superstar and where things need to be tweaked or cut off. I know we have been harping on the PG situation, but if Finch would play Dilly more, maybe we'd see more of the good on the offensive side. Play Joan more and let him see where he has to improve. Also let him go to Iowa and play some games to get some confidence in what he already does well and work out any bad habits he may pick up practicing against Rudy. Who knows, this rough patch may lead us to a smooth patch in May and June again.

I know we are Timberwolves fans, but with our successes the past four years, we should be more positive we'll come out of this funk, not negative spiraling because.....KKKKAAAAHHHHHNNNN

The whole Iowa thing is vastly overrated … shut it down, take the money, give it to dog pound, and draft better.

I preface the following is very knee jerk…but the wolves/Ant’s championship window might be passed or soon closing.

With the emergence of Wemby and current dominance of Jokic and Shai, the wolves as currently constructed just do not seem to factor into the equation.

Of course this isn’t factoring in potential injuries, trades, second apron effects, etc.

I wonder what our offensive and defensive rankings were through 5 games those years.

Currently we're 17th/23rd.

(Which is actually better than I expected based on my "eye test".)

We need to retool … need to plot ways to dump any salary we can up through the deadline.
