Unfortunately, these types of players are just roster fillers IMO. There are literally no legitimate difference makers left on the market that will improve this roster from what it was last season. Maybe Culver turns out to be the second coming of Kawhi but I have a feeling there will be a TON of empty seats at Target Center this upcoming season.

same. the entire world saw them exposed last year w/ crap role players. and thats with KD. i still think a move with minny to get a wing/big makes more sense than keeping dlo &what his skill set brings

I don't want Oubre but you're wrong on Diallo. He's a poor man's Capella and would be a great fit next to Towns, whether starting or not. Plus he's young, probably cheap, and still has room for growth. He's been on my list at PF for quite awhile. If Covington does start at the 4 Diallo would be the perfect backup for defense and rebounding...

Gsw expected to trade DLO

What about Teague/Covington ?

Yep... The dream is.... NOT DEAD!!!

I really JUST don't know if I'd deal covington to get this done, but it would probably be GS's target. I guess we'll find out:
1. If a D-Lo deal is still in play
2. What value the wolves place on Covington

Pretty sure they wouldn't want Wiggins, although that would be a coup...

I'll admit that I don't know much about Diallo but I find it hard to believe that he will be a difference maker for any team. My tummy is too filled with sour grapes to have any positive thoughts about this organization at the moment.

KD is a top NBA scorer and Klay is two way player. They lost Iggy and Livingston as well. They have no bench. They grabbed Russell who does fill any of their needs in defense. They also have figure out how to pay Green, Klay, Curry and Russell.

I would let them eat that luxury tax and sink.

Exactly. It would be great if the rest of the league refused to trade for Russell, forcing GSW to run with three max-salaried guards for the next four years.

Ok, I just saw on Jon Krawczynski's twitter a video from Dlo's insta story. Wolves paid for a helicopter ride over LA last night? How dumb are we? Is this true? lol
