Minnesota Timberwolves Off-Season Thread... Lottery Night. We Haven't Moved Up In Franchise History. - Page 2

Rob Babcock's input probably isn't helping Kahn in the draft process, either. He was damn awful running Toronto--Rafael Araujo at #8.

hold up. the wolves are really 5-2??

Personally I would probably be all for that if I was confident of any other GM save for about 2 or 3. NBA GM's cannot project for squat and most of the players the Wolves have taken in the lotto were players most other teams would have also taken at that spot. There have not been many giant reaches and honestly the NBA draft is one giant crapshoot where luck factors in more than anything (something the Wolves never have had).

In short if you do not have the number 1 pick in the draft then it's all up in the air. EVERY team would have taken DWill number two last year, many would have at #1 too.

I just saw Jonny Flynn is now playing in Australia .

If this group can get the Wolves to 6-2 then I'll be very very happy.

T wolves will win by 10+ tonight. Ill paypal everyone in this thread 5 bucks if they dont

I'll still never understand this whole Flynn sucked his first year talk. I mean 13 and 8-9 with Rambis was okay. I didn't expect nothing huge from him anyways.

If Dwill was somewhere where he had the time and patience of coach and team I think he can perform but right now he's just doing too many wrong things and looks like Rick has no confidence in certain match ups with him.

Josh Howard anyone?

Update: Josh Howard signs one year vet minimum deal with Wolves.

HOOD i completely agree with you up there.

DWill is lost and knows Adelman doesn't like him and that translates into his play and head games.

And soon he gets Love coming in to take more minutes.

Glen Taylor likes him but I see Williams being dealt by deadline while he still has SOME value.

DWill for a vet SG for the stretch run is my prediction.

i know its early but what do yall think Pek is worth in the off-season?

Playing 2k and I was able to trade Dwill and Roy for Harden

Feel bad for B-Roy.

And a good one to go to. Very surprised at the news of Love returning tonight.

What could we really get for Dwill? I think it's countdown now.

No clue. Hopefully piece him into a three-team deal so that Minnesota can get something good in return.

Malcolm Lee needs to hit the weights.

****** 2nd half. Played like crap.

Just wanted to offer up my opinion/ what I've seen..

Won't be as much as it was one year ago. Solid veteran, but nothing better than good.

So I've seen locally that Kahn has seen a game live in LA-Clips and I think Phoenix. Trades?

What's everyone opinion on Shved so far? I think him and Rubio will be cool together.

Cannot wait until Rubio gets back. I love how kahn has built this team, but we need to see this potential being realized. So many good things to say about them right now even though they're losing. Love still trying to find his way back, mainly his stepback.

Malcolm Lee though...Impressed with the hustle. Same with Dante and his mid-range is on point. Svhed just keeps getting better and better and his 3-pt shooting should be a huge plus for them down the road.

Rubio will tie this all together.

good game the other day fellaz (sorry didn't knw this thread existed) KLove is a beast.

I think we need to find a way to get another sharp shooter since Chase is out for a while. I was hoping for Piterius (sp?) and moving maybe Lou or something.

Malcolm showing like most UCLA guards he can play good defense.

AK's back spasm worries me a bit now

And I'm calling Rubio returns against OKC HOPEFULLY off the bench letting him play into shape and his role THEN start the new year at PG.

His kick been on point

When will he be a FA?

if we make a move with the lakers, luke and derrick are gone for pau?

Lakers turned down the Pau for Williams and Pekovic offer from Minnesota.

Touch second half against Boston I believe I heard this morning the Celtics are now 10-0 against the Wolves since KG left the Wolves. Lovely.

DWill will be out of Wolves uniform by the deadline at the latest. This of course is assuming they can get a bag of balls for him straight up anymore.

I think the team is anxious to monitor what happens now with Rubio back and wait to see how he looks and where the team goes from that point.

Here is a DWill update, this just makes it look just worse when the two guys below him here are a journeyman that was out of the NBA when Wolves called, and a former 2nd Rd pick on his 4th team in three years.

With Roy who may end up retiring again I see trading for Reddick giving them Dwill, Malcolm and a 2nd round pick. And this team can be set for the rest of this year and potentially next year as well.

Rubio/JJ/Luke
Chase/Reddick/Shved
AK47/Howard
Love/Cunnigham/Lou,
Pek/Steisma

Magic want a lot for Reddick. DWill is not remotely enough.

They're using Reddick as their ticket to something. What that is? Who knows, but they're looking for a lot

yeah that makes sense their only legit piece that anyone wants.

If that's the case, then we should wait to see this team with Rubio.


Is Roy suppose to return at all this season? He should just retire or go to phoenix

Nothin changes...
