Rosas says from day one they knew the roster needed a big overhaul.

Spellman might be getting overlooked as well.

Beasley said teammates have to be great in order to make Jokic great. Simple but true.

One thing I like about the new guys, there are about 3 or 4 who are capable of going off for big games. (18 plus points)

With the guys we traded away it was really rare to get a big scoring game. Roco would do it now and then and Wiggins would do it more often than not but outside of that not a lot of potential for a big scoring game. We have more guys now who can go off.

Did Lo just say he was willing to go to whoever wanted him the most? :o

I think we were one of the only ones who really "wanted" him.
Still not a fan. Don't trust this guy. Make me a fan.

Glad you are hyped, he didn't seem so much.

How many fights can he get into before seasons end?
He's not going to opt out is he? I don't think he can leave that money on the table. Pretty sure he never thought his career would end in Minny.

Wiggins got 18 points on 16 shots almost nightly

Nope. What is the point of bashing Wiggins anyway? He's not our player and he doesn't seem like a bad person.

"It kinda frustrated me with Andrew Wiggins, a lot of talking heads around the country and media members would describe Wiggins as 'an amazing talent,' 'unbelievably talented,' I never really saw him that way. I thought he was a good talent, a good scorer, and that was his potential. I think he lived up to what I thought he should've been." -Kevin Lynch

Seems fair ... he had years of opportunity to be more ... be the man. He wanted nothing to do with it
