I can only read the first few sentences but I agree. I look at the nets roster and see some talented scorers and a few good defenders. Wolves have no offense and no defense. I definitely think the Nets are the better team right now.

Meh. We're both terrible, so it's splitting hairs.

The way I'd judge it is that the Wolves played better in their two wins and in a couple of their losses than the Nets have all season. The Wolves have also played worse in several of the losses than the Nets have all season.

If im a star FA, MN is looking more solid

Looking at those players with my Timberwolves colored glasses I have to say I like our building blocks better. Its just that beyond those guys we have a handful of players that arguably don't belong in the NBA.

Can't we all just agree we're the worst two teams.

And you're the guy that thinks that trading all our cap space for Jeffries, a bench player and a 2nd rounder is the best use of our resources.

You're a joke!! LOL!!

Attacking me personally just reflects your insecurity. And changing the subject doesn't change the fact you have a pretty good poker hand there - full house - point guards over power forwards... If you draw John Wall, then you have got yourself four of a kind!!

I attack your ridiculous ideas, of which there are many. I do like the hypocritical accusations after your opener:

I know, sadly for us, the NBA doesn't allow trades to be made between teams. Wait, they do. You're still a joke.

i think the fact the wolves may very well begin next season with only Flynn, Jefferson, Love as the only guys on the roster from this years opening day speaks volumes about where the wolves expected to be this year. at the most we'd have Flynn Sessions Brew Ellington Gomes Love Jefferson Hollins next year. still leaving 4-7 open roster spots and some HUGE holes to fill at SG/SF/C

the nets, are only going to lose a couple of guys this summer. Simmons, Hassel and Hayes being their only expirings if my brain is working right. They are pretty set in their roster and are hoping that it grows and gets better, and hope they add a piece or two to agument. I think they are hoping the starting lineup they have will be contending for a playoff spot.

Ridiculous question. Nets have zero wins, Wolves have two.

0/2 = 0

We're at least zero times better than the Nets right now.

Shouldn't it be 2/0? The Wolves are an undefined amount better than the Nets
