Yeah send him to the d-league, it'd fit right into the Wolves plan on having the whitest team in league history.

Love is one of the better players in the league shabazz is a slower James harden with no game

who cares? If it's about disciplining the player you shouldn't care how good he is. Nobody's above reproach on that squad, let alone a player who got wasted and punched a wall and cost himself 64 games due to his stupidity. If Flip had such a problem with Shabazz (and he did), DON'T PICK SHABAZZ! Flip is still mad he picked him, that's why he wants to act all hardbody on him, not because of the incident. Shabazz is the best scoring wing they have besides Martin. Of course Flip doesn't give a fukk if it costs him down the line. He'll never get fired again.

shyt, for a team as pathetically bad as we are, we NEVER use our D-League. We are our own D-League team. Flip's gonna threaten to send Shabazz to a city that might be warmer than Minneapolis, on a team where he'll get a shyt ton of PT and dare I say, win? shyt, bring TWO bytches to the hotel next year.

I understand flips stance on this. He know its Minny and players take it for granted because of its location and want to prove that it's player>>organization when it comes to the T'Wolves organization. He has the perfect coach that can enforce his vision and philosophy at least when sit comes to shabazz.


But it might be for nothing. Lottery picks have more lives than cat woman in this league. Look at Terence Williams.

I read the quote and thought it was lame af

He had a chick in his room, it's not like he was arrested. And the last time I checked these dudes aren't in HS/College anymore. They're professionals getting paid, so they can miss me with this bullshyt acting like it's the end of the world because he wanted some p*ssy.

Being a dikk to a player you blatantly regret picking isn't gonna help matters. Shabazz is fine with being in Minnesota. Flip ain't. Flip treats the Shabazz pick like autodraft took over.

The problem Flip (and the organization) has is that they've been burned by character issue players, so when someone even remotely has those characteristics, regardless of the talent level, they're ready to be done with you. They overvalue character to a fault, to where they'd rather lose with choir boys than win with someone mercurial. What Glen specifically doesn't realize is that this line of thinking has kept good players away because of a fear he has that they'll all be like Steph, or JR, or McCants.

McCant wasn't a troubling Ayer. He said Minny dropped him cuz he didn't smile. imagine if Perkins got traded to Minny in the KG deal. KG spoke highly of McCants I thought.

Dont forget Eddie Griffin :to:

But yo I think you're reading too much into this breh. Did you see what Flip said about the situation? the tweet I posted? Plus Flip himself said before the draft we wont rely on rookies because we are ready to compete NOW!

The Bazz situation was a little embarrassing but no a big deal in the grand scheme of things relax. If healthy we are a 6-8 seed at least!

blah blah. at the end of the day the Wolves would be stupid to send a lottery pick to the the d-league. You atleast let give them a year especially a prospect like Shabazz.

they just act like dude didnt put up 18 and 5 on 44% on what they were calling a "mediocre" year?.smh and him getting kicked out of rookie camp is a fabricated character flaw at best. like you really gon pass judgement cause a 21 year old didnt wanna obey a stupid and seemingly irrelevant rule? like seriously why cant they have female guest in the room? how does that affect them or the league in any manner? How does that prepare a rookie for the league? If anything its the exact opposite. and its personal. last time I checked this is a professional LEAGUE not a effin catholic institution. the rule itself is stupid and the heat Bazz is catching for breaking it is reaching. Holla at me when he gets caught up for actual legal issues or something that actually affects what he's paid to do.

and the last time I checked, even with Kevin Martin, the wolves could use some perimeter scoring. And Bazz could def provide that, even if its in spurts.

I don't have a problem with the team being unhappy with Shabazz over this because it was a dumb unavoidable thing, that only he couldn't follow. I get it, but save this anger for when Shabazz costs the team games. Save it for those 4-5+ game losing streaks. Save it for when someone else on the team does something stupid ON the court. It's so typical of this franchise to not care about that.

If he wants to flex his nuts so bad, the next time Minny's down 25 and Corey Brewer has a shyt eating grin on the bench, I want Flip to stop sexting McHale, come down from the skybox, walk across the court to the bench, slap the shyt outta him and walk upstairs like it was part of the job. At least I'll know his intentions were good.
