Sure, Edwards would work well within this offense.


I find it pretty comical that wolves fans who have only seen the playoffs once in like two decades would rather hold on to a young player just because 'potential'. Edwards not being in Philly and Ben Simmons not being a Twolve because of the hesitancy to trade Edwards is why franchises like Minny continue to be mediocre. Just bad decision making over & over again

It's actually a fantastic decision to not trade a stud like Edwards for a fatally flawed role player like Simmons, though lol.

Ben coming back right now is like when Eddie Martel crossed the picket line and took over for Shane Falco as the QB of the Washington Sentinels.

This cut is DEEP.

not wanting to give up your young prospect for a guy who has stagnated is sound logic actually.

Like even if Edwards ends up being Dion Waiters with a personality, as of right now...betting on his upside is more appealing than hoping Ben becomes something he has not shown because he can play local COD with KAT.

Long term, definitely. But for a franchise thats annually bad, a second year player shouldn't be off limits. how long do they expect KAT to want to waste away there? Ben being good friends with KAT would make the move a no brainer for me.

Lol, **** this game. Team Chaos is in overtime. Jon Gruden quit and Simmons is back.

Okay teams, up your trade offers now that Ben is no longer holding out. Let's get this done before the weekend.

Shaq Harrison looks good at everything other than his shot, which is extremely prohibitive for a guy like him. Shifty and athletic. Good defensively.

I think Bassey has starting C upside. He protects the rim, scores, and hits free throws. Virtually no future with this team, though.

Sorry Kobble, I regret to inform you this, but that Springer jumpshot is never going to be a thing.

40 three, 80 free throw guy. It's would pretty rare for him to not develop a respectable three point shot in time.

I mean, we have 5 non-shooters on the floor right now and two centers. Feels kinda inevitable.
