I understand you. You would not probably beat Jimmy dominate practice. But I am glad that KAT, Wiggins are not you.

P.S. From your list I think no player would try to respond Jimmy in similar way. There is a coach and GM to manage such mess. But we don't have such man.


It’s incredible to watch you deflect and cape for two players who today were confirmed as heartless. It doesn’t really matter cause none of us are GMs but you’re flat out wrong in this situation. Whether or not people +1 you or disagree with you. The only people who go far in sports are ones with the heart to fight.


I am not saying that they are not soft. They are. And I hope their ego is hurt and they will put more efforts. But the way you act with your "competitive commenting" makes me laugh. Sry.


Thanks for clarifying. I thought you were implying they weren’t soft. Nothing else matters to me.

I don't think this franchise is paying Wiggins and KAT $300+ million to stand around in silence while they get beat up and down the court. I would call them both in my office right now if I owned the team and ask them why the guy I didn't give a massive contract wants to win more than they do? This is their team, if they don't want to step up and lead than this franchise is going straight back into the abyss.

Have you loudmouths even considered that KAT and Wiggins would have received specific orders before they entered practice to not engage Jimmy?

And that your team demeanor winning your tenth grade intramural hoops game does not put you in the position to call into question the character of players that actually worked hard enough to make it into the NBA? You have to be smart.

Part of me suggests that the guy who did not get a massive contract wants... A MASSIVE contract. :lol: But I agree there are only two things that can motivate an NBA player: his ego and money.

I kind of glad that it is starting to get public, not just smoke as Thibs wanted. Maybe now all opponents will troll KAT and Wiggins by calling them "soft" so they will actually start to play hard.

Sadly, I doubt Wiggins had to be told anything.

We keep him for the season, lose him for nothing, but viewership for the Wolves will be higher than ever because we won't know what Jimmy will do next and it'll be must see TV

then, we all band together, laugh & cry about the life of being a Wolves fan and become bandwagon Warriors fans

As is every off-season in Minnesota. Blockbuster trades, coaches fired or on the hot seat, lottery picks, and leftover free agent pickups.

We will than proceed to find the season's scapegoat after the season starts. As is tradition.

I am curious about what Glen is thinking right now. Part of me wants Wiggins to be traded and Butler re-signed if he can stay healthy this year. But I don't want Thibs as GM and coach for next 3 yrs...

The best thing that can happen is for the season to start. Right now it’s all show and emotion. Over time things will calm down and it will be about basketball and they can beat up on other teams. The ice is broken, so now the healing process can start. The media (Woj, Stein, & ESPN) want the drama, so naturally everything they say will be about creating drama. What’s done is done and that’s the good news, IT’S DONE! Ice is broken.

OMG if they got into a physical altercation Jimmy is built like a fire hydrant and KAT is built like a pole vault stick. KAT would be snapped in two.

Might as well lock this up and let discussion continue in thread 3.
