Just wanted to make a point....Glass Wallace was really effing good before his body gave out. Like, people here are comparing him to Brewer. No no no, he was like a 3rd team all NBA type player a couple years. Really good.

I agree, like I said I can see Wiggins either becoming at best the next Kobe and his medium I could see him becoming the next Paul George. PG doesn't have the most consistent shoot but he is a good defender.

Well, if Wiggins becomes the next Paul George it would still be worthy for Cleveland.
If you want to try to measure the elements of basketball that are supposedly unmeasurable, spend a game just watching Marc Gasol.

Man, looking back at some old youtube videos of different people in the media talking about the Kevin Love situation, I'm just sooooo happy that he's not going to end up with the LA Lakers. This was their wet dream, which they tried to make happen by spreading rumors that Kevin Love really wanted to be in a big market. We've all known this is BS, Love just wants to win, and I'm still pretty certain that he'd actually stay here if we had the season Portland had this year.

On a similar note, I'd love to finish above the Lakers this year. People say we shouldn't try to be competitive because we're not gonna go to the playoffs anyway, but I disagree. We are about to "officially" become the NBA's laughing stock, and that is not a good place to be. Having a pretty good season with exciting players like LaVine and Wiggins can mean a lot for our future.

Any of you guys considered freezing yourself until the 23rd to make this go faster?

I coincidentally have a lot going on with work and life right now so that helps. I get enough freezing 6 months out of the year.

I tried that once, and I ended up in the middle of this weird fight between giant otters and some atheists. I don't think I'm going to risk it again.

The otters were also atheists, but did crush the other atheists skulls on their tummies.

I've given drinking a lot alcohol a shot to make the time go by faster. It kinda helps.

I hope you guys in Minny throw a huge "Welcome home" party to make this dude feel wanted.

I'm more excited for the press conference with Wiggy, I want to see what he has to say

Pretty sure his first appearance is going to be at the MN State Fair. No better welcoming party than the great Minnesotan get together.

Wiggins can check out the hot blondes and Bennett gets all the fried food he desires. :wink:

Please don't mess up Wiggins' name the way the Cavs did when they introduced him to the media after the draft. So embarrassing for the kid...should've been obvious back then it was their intention to ultimately deal him for Love.

How would we have anything to do with how his name is announced after he is traded?

Maybe the opposite?
Wiggins needs some weight so reserve for him the fried food and Bennett needs to slim down so with the help of hot blondes he will burn lots of calories :)

You think they will actually go to the fair?

A Dan Barreiro interview with Wiggins and Flip in studio at the fair would be fantastic.
