Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Im thinking 50 wins, honestly I think 52 is possible

Thibs can change culture over a summer. Took Bulls from a .500 team to 62 wins with an evolving DRose

Defense about to go from bottom of the league to like top 10 overnight :wow:

I think 50 wins a little high, I guess it depends on the leap Wiggins takes since we know Karl is probably going to be 20-23ppg, 10-12rpg and 4apg next year.
I really like that center from Australia who plays like bougut :patrice:


You mean Jakob Poeltl? He from Austria like Arnold Schwarzenegger, he's good and looks like he's gonna come in at 7'2" in shoes, but if you're gonna take a big may as well go with Bender.

I think 44-48 is more doable, especially if they get a good pick and I expect Thibs to bring in some vets.



@tremonthustler1 you want Bender in the draft, right?
Ideally even though he'll take a year or two to develop.

All in all assuming we're 5 or 6 I'd say

1a. Hield
1b. Sabonis
3. Murray
4. Dunn
5. Poeltl

in any event, trading the pick should be no doubt an option. and I'm only really for the first 2 choices anyway

You can't rely on a rookie from Austria to bring toughness though, you could go after Zaza, Matt Barnes or Joakim Noah if you want a tougher vet presence.

I think someone like Bender with Towns gives you two guys that are dynamic and big, while also being able to play in the modern NBA because both guys are skilled from outside.

you right.... honestly I'd rather we trade the pick. I mean how many of these young guys can we afford to pay?

Hield? I'm assuming you still want LaVine run out of town, right :russ:

There's not much out there to trade the pick for to be honest, you'll never get equal value outside of 1 or 2 players.

Nah, you use the pick and decide who needs to be moved or who not to pay in the future when it comes to it. You'll never get equal value for the pick, unless you somehow get Jimmy Butler from the Bulls, and he would require some other moves or Wiggins developing his shot A LOT.

The wolves scout team been out there watching Bender the last two or three weeks.

You'd be surprised at where I stand regarding Zach
