Minnesota Timberwolves - The Ant Man needs Terry Rozier?

[AdamSSSlither]

from what ive seen, the potential answer to more offensive production outside ant and randle is terrence shannon jr.

[Wolveswin]

Ant is basically on a Bradley Beal trajectory at the moment but with a better team around him than Beal had. He's younger though. Let's see if he get's to prime Harden/Wade territory ever. Can he win a chip like Wade did in '06? Probably not given how stacked the West will be in his prime.

Wow. I think I have read it all here on RGM.

You really think your guy is gonna win a title as the 1A or 1B ever?

lol don’t move the goal post in your response.

[MartyConlonJr]

As a Heat fan, I never thought I'd see someone campaigning for Rozier.

You can have him. He is not solving anyone's offensive woes. It could be that some teams and structure don't fit some players styles, but Rozier has been the most inefficient player for us. All we'd ask is don't give us contracts other than expirings if something is coming back. Minnesota does not really have those contracts, so Divincenzo + Conley or Reid are the kinds of options and you'd be crazy.

[bonita_the_frog]

ANT is better than Wade already is he really? Really? Further more he's on pace for MJ? The **** you talking about darling?

He's not had a better season than Beal had. Let's see how he bottoms out in the next two years you bum riders

I said "ANT is Dwayne Wade, but with 3-pointers instead of mid-range shooting".
And I said "Michael Jordan's career is the most accurate comparison to ANT so far (even though Jordan didn't eliminate Bird, and took a while to eliminate Isiah Thomas)".
Notice i never said ANT was better than Wade/MJ?

And has Beal ever played defense or made Conference Finals or eliminated a bunch of superstars?

6-24 in game 7 against Denver
5-17 0-11 from downtown in close out game vs Lakers
Sure Edwards had some great games but there were also several where they won in spite of him. Let’s cool the jets on “eliminated a bunch of superstars”. His team is stacked.

Every team wins "in spite of" their best player, even the 90s Bulls had playoff games (including 1996 Finals Game 6) they won in spite of Jordan's worst shooting.
ANT is the only All-Star (and Superstar) in Minnesota and his team is "stacked"?

ANT 2022 Playoffs = 25.2 points per game, .455 field, .404 downtown
ANT 2023 Playoffs = 31.6 points per game, .482 field, .349 downtown
ANT 2024 Playoffs = 27.6 points per game, .481 field, .400 downtown and eliminated Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Nikola Jokic
ANT 2025 Playoffs = 25.3 points per game, .453 field, .354 downtown and eliminated LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Jimmy Butler

Did I claim he's better than prime Harden and Wade were right now? On track to be as good as MJ??

But me asking is he's ever gonna be good enough to be 1A or 1B is now moving goalposts somehow? Stop it man, you're embarrassing yourself defending Bradley Beal 2.0

What does any of those have to do with me, my response? Here is answer…nothing.

Anthony Edwards has so much talent than Bradley Beal ever did. Beal put up gaudy scoring numbers on an atrocious team, nothing impressive about that.

[Shaka_Zulu]

Could Anthony Edwards use help yes. The player is Terry Rozier.

Hahaha!

[PRguy23]

Everyone likes to bash a player for a bad game etc.. the. Compare them to greats like they never had a bad game. This isn't a knock on larry bird, he's a legit top 10 guy, but he misses shots for 86 minutes straight. Bad days and bad games happen.

Green font - Edwards must suck because he didn’t win a chip - but you know who else didn’t win a chip before 23 years old??? James and Jordan. Bums.

[Devilanche]

There’s a lot of wild wild takes in this thread for sure.

[MoneyTalks41890]

Terry Rozier isn’t the answer to any question I’d want to be asking.

The absolute best compliment Ant can be given is honestly the sky high expectations. He's been having the "why hasn't he won a ring" takes against him since he was 21 years old!

It's exceedingly rare for an NBA player to have the impact he has had as young as he is. It's even more astounding seeing as he was viewed as an incredibly raw and risky prospect.

He's been competing against the best the NBA has long before most NBA greats are expected to.

[jbsays]

I'm sure Heat would love to let the TWolves have Rozier.

[jbk1234]

No one is trading for Terry Rozier while he's the subject of a federal investigation.

[chrbal]

Recently this board has had a Greg Buckner thread and now we have the Wolves need Terry Rozier. Realgm might want to consider shutting down for a little bit during the offseason

I'm sorry man, this is such a silly narrative about one player eliminating another player by himself as if this is an individual game, disregarding proper context like injuries and imbalanced lineups by opposing teams etc.
by this stupid reasoning, Isiah Thomas is GOAT for eliminating Bird, MJ and Magic like what a certain washed up player said too .
Using this "logic", Billups is also great for eliminating Kobe, Shaq, Malone and Payton and then again eliminating Shaq and Wade the following year,
I am not a fan of Edwards because I find this dude too cocky and borderline arrogant but I am also aware that he is just 23 years old and will likely improve and mature to be a great player but did you know that his last playoff averages he had career low in
EFG%, FT%, FG%, steals
2nd lowest in pts, FT attempts, blocks.

Well that's not my narrative, its your narrative.
You said "one player eliminating another player by himself", but i never said ANT eliminated anyone by himself...
You said "Isiah Thomas is GOAT for eliminating Bird", i never did.
You said "Billups is also great for eliminating Kobe, Shaq, Malone and Payton", and that's true Billups is great, and he played a role in eliminating those players. The difference is, ANT takes full responsibility for Minnesota losing, whereas Billups didn't. ANT is considered the biggest reason for success and failure.
