Same thing, we weren't going to gut them. So thats why we dragged whole summer long with Cleveland. We were demanding premium from Bulls/Warriors.

What ? The Bulls offer was more cleary than a possible Celtics offer in the news, just google.

Minnesota did the right thing not taking the GS deal. You shouldn't have to give up a 1st rd pick to get rid of Love.

Merc I hope the last Flip interview tells you how bad were other offers in comparison with Cleveland one.

Honestly, I should not have brought this issue back.

And i hope you guys are all right about Wiggins. (That it´s too early to say something, let´s see and wait)
I´m the 1st to support A.Wiggins sucess in a Timberwolves jersey. Don´t get it me wrong about that.

I just don´t like the signs so far.
But if he fails, i´m not going to be the guy saying that i was right.
But if Wiggins turns out to be what he was supose, a top player, i´m going to be the first to say that i was wrong. And happy to admit it ;)

Men don't think you're the only one with doubts, a lot of us try to hide it in ourselves. Nobody wants to remedy that. I don't want Wiggins to fail, but there is Bazz there to make me smile, imagine if we traded him?

Some of the best trades are the ones you don't make. Warriors made the right decision keeping Thompson.

It really depends on what the final GSW trade was to be (and NO one really knows). Like the Cavs trade, I am sure a 3rd team would have been involved, and in the end been a pretty complicated trade.

My answer was/is Yes.

I like Wiggins TONS, needs to be said. But with this "upside' and "higher ceiling" everyone brags about, I think Klay's is not far off. And even if it is, how much higher really can Wig be then Klay (if any)?

The emergence of Bazz! Let's say the GSW trade was something like Love+KMart+Filler for Klay+Lee+Barnes (or filler). The lineup of...
Rubio
Klay
Bazz or Barnes or Brewer even
Lee or Player to be traded for later or Player from 3rd team in Love deal or Future cap space free agent when Lee+Brewer+Bud expire
Pek/Dieng
...is so very well rounded with current talent and potential, potential both in players developing and future moves/trades/flexibility.

Locking the 2 main pillars, Klay and Rubio, into very affordable long term contracts prior to new, hugely inflated CBA.

And not as important...but watching Love it would have been better for him in GSW. He would have been more the man, paired with Curry, backed by a defensive center (when not injured), and for some reason I think even in the West, GSW future looks brighter.

Perfect my friend.
I was wrong.
He looks amazing. Like a future SUPERSTAR.

Hoppefully, i'm wrong with Pek as well. That would be a good sign.

Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
