Is there any source for this?


Nothing officially yet but over 10 teams did their QO’s today and the wolves didn’t say or do anything for Beasley or Juancho.

Deadline is tomorrow
Why are you scaring us like it was past the deadline.


Hope we just doing it late then.


Wolves are pretty full at wings now

Not good imo - we need to put them together and move up. :pray:


i don't know why you guys want him. he's going to stay that thin until he's 40. Classic Wolves type of pick or udfa signing though in the past. I can't handle how thin he is and don't want to see it happen. Can't name a single player besides KG who grew up once here. it was my only concern on haliburton, the only one.

He turns 19 next month. Yeah his shoulders and waist is small but you never know. ANyways he's to fluid and talented to not take a chance on.

The one dimension the team has to have to get over 30 wins, to even get to 30 wins.

It's a little disappointing because with Jalen Smith and Cole Anthony going early, the Wolves would have had a shot a some good prospects on the board.

That rotation scares me, when Layman is your best wing shooter, then you know you are done for.

I'm happy Rubio is coming back, but not happy they gave up 17 for him and two late round picks. They were supposed to take in less than three players not 4 -5 new ones.

I think there'll be a few trades to come for us before the tip off.

Rosas still isn't near where he wants to be IMO

Agree with KGdaBom and Jeddz. His dimension is elite and impactful on winning.

Boston hasn't done much last draft or two but like this pick a lot
