Based on our own team and Front Office failures and embarrassments, maybe you should change the word “hate” to “respect” and that would be a more accurate assessment IMO.

Fair enough...all opinions are welcome. I, for one, have been really impressed with what their Front Office is doing, how well they are coached and how hard their team plays every night. There’s a lot to admire about MEM from afar.

Really good rotation with at least two very good players for each position.

When you're not that talented at least you need to have a balanced roster. That's what happends in Memphis and in OKC right now.

That way you don't have d-league players and most important, players playing out of position in the rotation even when everybody is healthy.

I look for them to sweep the leg in two games against Clippers end of February that will might instill confidence. If they find a way to beat Lakers mid February I think they will sweep the Clippers. But they've already lost two to Lakers even if they were close. Celtics also easily dispatched them. Spurs destroyed them opening day and they've got two against them end of this month. Seems like one of the Wolves better years where they play way up and way down depending on opponent/matchup.

Porter, 20, who has not played this season due to personal issues, grew angry when he entered the locker room and realized the team gave his old locker to Taurean Prince, who was acquired in a blockbuster trade Wednesday.

Sources said Porter, whose locker was moved to the wall where the younger, end-of-bench players reside, began yelling and at one point threw food.

Sources said general manager Koby Altman came into the locker room and confronted Porter, and the player remained combative with his boss. The Cavs spent the weekend trying to trade him.

Coach J.B. Bickerstaff heard the commotion in the locker room from his office and came in, shocked and disgusted by what he heard.

What impresses me it's the way all the other teams rebuilt and are competitive after several years while we continue to suck in the bottom of the conference.

I am so sick of this **** that I don't think that I continue to follow Wolves after this season. It cannot be that you suck more than 15 consecutive years. If there was division in NBA, we would be a gleague team.

After seeing the shear amount of movement Rosas was capable of at the trade deadline I thought we had finally found the Pobo/GM type we needed to move quickly enough in the correct directions to create a winner.

This past offseason he blew away that belief I had with leftfield moves contrary to all past moves. How they then started the season parading Culver/Edwards from point confirmed for me we are still the same old team selling a Long Con that is a long drug out rebuild story mainly meant to keep a front office together for more time. Only choices are to keep hoping they figure something out or just give up on this finally.

I'm not out on Rosas yet but I do think he messed up with this frontcourt situation. I see him making a move to fix at some point this season but he really hurt this team's ability to win games by expecting these players to be physical enough to fight off much bigger teams. Now that's not our only problem, our chemistry is a mess and we are relying on too many young players.

Rosas needs to bring in some size and balance this roster out with some more veterans who know how to do their job consistently. This team needs stability in the worst way.

The Rockets asked for Ben Simmons, Tyrese Maxey, and 3 future 1st-round picks from the 76ers for James Harden

The Sixers declined which is why Houston took the Nets deal of Levert, Allen, and four 1st round picks

Trade for him and Nance at a discount and then cut Porter!
Wolves can’t trade Beasley or juancho and they don’t want Rubio.

Would you do Culver, Davis, Layman for Nance snd Porter?

Worth a look at the 5? Vet, more size than our current bigs, and can stretch the floor

EDIT: Nvm it looks like he's out due to contact tracing protocols anyway

We fixed the Hawks and now the Magic will probably be rejuvenated too. Wolves out here doing Gods work!
