Zion's team just lost to the 4-11 Timberwolves without Towns and Dlo. Screw you draft hype specialists already.

I was told that 280 lb PFs are the better way to build a team, not 215 lb PFs....

Good luck with that.

Back to back games against Warriors coming up. So what's this really about? Dlo can't play against Warriors now?


I mean DLo sucks we don't really need a narrative to bash him.

Jedz is just a humorless kid, willing to make stuff up just to bash his long enemies list. Now it’s a “narrative?” and I “wanted the team to tank?” He says WormGuts “wants to trade Towns?” Ugh.

There's worse ideas, we could have a 5 guard starting lineup.

Edit - I’ll poll the Dane Moore thoughts after the next game, to increase the sample size.

"Best" and "Most talented" are different things sometimes.

I was the first one to say “Russell would be a terrific sixth man,” and took a bit of heat, but to me it is an obvious take.

Agreed. For me he's Lou Williams 2.0
Which isn't bad at all.

Agreed. He might be bit bit too pro DLo at times, but generally makes tons of sense and backs up every single statement.

You would be the guy with fictional writings on Dlo post his trade here. At least before he was traded here you were just explaining why you wanted no part of him. But after, wow that went to a whole new level of shrink fiction that clearly outlined "hate". So don't go making stuff up about me and coloring me as hateful, don't project that upon me. I've just defended a player for being who he is. It's not even like he was someone I wanted them to add. We all just knew it was heading that way for Towns.

That's kind of how they made the first two games work. But honestly I think it's only got to be when forcing high 20s-25 or so minutes to Edwards and Culver, Okogie and other guards.

The two PG thing is just Ryan Saunders with or without Rosas. He was doing it long before Rosas was a glimmer in anyone's eye here both has coach and as assistant with Thibs here.

I actually don't think he would be. He's more of an energy vampire than a spark plug

Beasley is the best energy spark plug guy. Eric Gordon role for him 6th man

I agree. To me DLo as a combo-guard of the bench would be good as 6th man. He's paid like a max player, but until he plays like one, we neeed to coach him which ever way benfits the team most. Dlo is in control of this. If he leads, defends, and shoots well then he is obviously a starter. Simple.

Right now my target starting 5 would be: Rubio/Beasley/McD/JV/KAT
Reserve: Dlo/McL/Okogie/Culver/Ant/Reid
Final reserve: Layman/Hernangomez/Nowell
Flip response to Love wanting out, "He has no reason to be upset, you're either a part of the problem or a part of the solution"

I'd be fine playing Russell in a Manu role

I wish my 4wheeler had final reserve. Reserve just doesn't cut it sometimes.

Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
