Safe to say Flips 2013 rebuild has failed and is over?

[wesleyt95]

The great part of this is you telling us the Wolves should change their 'radar' because it's never "EVER" worked, and here they have been starting Wiggins this whole time and forcing the ball into his hands and locking their financial future to him. Think about this for a second. Would you? Had Flip never made that trade, how different do things happen since? What would they actually have gotten in return for Love if they had refused Wiggins being in the deal? Where would the Wolves be right now?

Idc about what happened back in 2013, I dont even care about what happened last year, keep playing coulda woulda shoulda while the rest of us stay positive and live in the moment... have fun watching Wiggins next year whether u like it or not

Thanks for your philosophy of losing. Remember, it was you who said the Wolves should change their ways because "cuz the **** hasnt worked, EVER!". You can't have it both ways. Change, but don't change. Whether you like it or not, your suggestions need to follow some kind of logic or at least track from one to the next.

Living in the moment huh. Let me ponder that a while. As far as not caring about last year or years before, well, that's the only way you start making better decisions, by learning something from the past. But let's say we don't care and let's live for now and to hell with any past decisions. Fine. Then move Wiggins now to live for now. Wolves could even just bench him completely or make him a 6th man at best in usage. No? Oh I see, you are just one of those who believed the Wolves' hype on Wiggins so much early on that you have refuse to release it. That would be living in the past. It is ok. I get it. But don't lecture me on living for now if you aren't willing to.

No I said the 'radar'... now that you mention it, it was more directed at you instead of the leadership of the franchise. I'm all for the wolves improving as much as possible as soon as possible, but I don't think you realize it would greatly behoove us if Wiggins get's his **** together and is part of the picture. As of now we'd get ripped off and he's potentially still about 4 years away from his prime.

If that's true and he's still another 4 years out from whatever his level of prime play is, then I definitely want to move on. Sub level play for this long is not worth it, especially at top dollar. It's holding the team back while we wait for this guy at such a long term. I don't care about the money in moving him or in keeping him. It's about the Starting him while he plays at replacement level that bothers me.

We can leave it there with you calling me a fool and me telling you the truth according to me. Sounds fine to me.

This is like watching kids argue over if it's going to rain tomorrow. Neither of you has any special insight as to what the wolves have done in the future or why the wolves have done things in the past so why waste your time bickering about it. I can't believe "adults" have this much time to go back and forth about something so ridiculous. Let it go.

'Dont be a fool' isnt the same as 'you ARE a fool', if you cant distinguish that you probably are a fool tho just saying

If that was a prerequisite for posting here there wouldn't be a single post ever.

It's a forum to talk about this team. A person like you, however, wasting your time just being judgemental and acting holier than though isn't very conducive to people discussing anything. If all you want to see here is a sports news/twitter aggregator, you can get all that in a thousand other places meant for that. Please leave us to our team forum discussions and go spend your time teaching your kids how you want them to behave.

Seriously, look at what you are bickering over and tell me that it's worth your time. And this isn't the first time you've argued with someone over something silly and petty. I realize that it's a team forum and I love the wolves but these opinionated arguments are not team discussions.

"Failed" seems harsh considering it got butchered halfway through.

But yeah, that chapter is done. Now Rosas has to try and both rebuild and compete. I don't envy him that job.

Your posts are the only thing that aren't team discussions. Shove off.

The era had one season of crazy offensive gibberish. I remember the explosive first or second quarters that caused the opponent to curl into a corner and wait it out. Then just as quickly as it came it would go and seemingly the whole team's offense was a steaming pile of horse droppings every third quarter, except for Lavine. There was never a hint a defense, just the fleeting moments of high flying offense. That was the pinnacle that had everyone raving about a future to come from it.

* With the trading away of Bojan Dubljević's rights this year and the later drafting of Nowell with the Hornets/Miami pick from a 2015 trade, correct me if wrong but it seems most of these transactions have been wrapped up. Players Dieng, Wiggins, Towns, and now Nowell remain from the era's transactions. So, maybe the rebuild still lives on.
