Love's a better player.

Besides, they have 2 years to make the playoffs and appease both Adelman and especially Rubio. Might as well go all-in with the best possible roster you can.

Who do you like in this draft and who do you think we will pick? :leostare:

Im perfectly fine with taking two SGs breh its that serious :smh:

But I know we need a young energetic backup C who can swat some shots and provide D.

I don't mind it either. Given what Adelman keeps preaching, assuming we even keep the pick, at 9 I want KCP. I think they should only target a SG. If we somehow pick lower than that, I'd entertain the idea of Gorgui Dieng to be our defensive third big.

KCP at 9 and a C at 26 is where I'd go. Withey, Nogueira, Muscala, whatever works. If they want another shooter, fine, but then we trade Malcolm Lee and Williams together. Reggie Bullock, Glen Rice Jr., Allen Crabbe (not a fan of Crabbe though), suitable options.

All I know is that one of the things that bothered me about Flip/McHale is that it seemed like the only things they watched were Big 10 games while the scouts did whatever. Flip supposedly LOVES--as in-- he'll do whatever it takes to go get Victor Oladipo. My fear is that he takes Trey Burke or Cody Zeller because that's all he watched.

I might shed a tear if we some how get Oladipo...My concern with him before the year started, was I thought he struggled creating his on shot but I think dude got better at that. He seems legit.

What do you think his ceiling is? I use to hear Wade but :comeon: If he turns out to be a poor mans Deng or even on Dengs level Id be happy to trade up and get him. :manny:

I wish we could get Brooks from the nets but I dont think we have anything they want.

than Aldridge? Yes. The Trail Blazers kept Batum, had Hickson as an MIP candidate, added the Rookie of the Year by a country mile and somehow got WORSE.

you can't make the playoffs with the Tulsa 66ers as your bench. not in the West.

Pretty Ricky & LMA >.

Pete Philo gone. So pretty much we're going back to the era of wondering when Loukas Mavrokefalidis is gonna show, being Flip just fired our euro scouting (the one aspect of our scouting that was good, go figure)

Will Conroy may get hired into the Wolves front office. Yes, the same guy we signed last year as our 15th man.

My only suggestion to Flip would be don't go out of your way to placate a man who is leaving regardless of whether you give him LeBron, Durant, and CP3 in one trade. If he alienates Rubio, he invested into a dead franchise.

It sucks to know that this team can't really improve unless we get lucky on the draft or trades. I like AK47 but it's depressing that he's as good as we could get at SF. I love Adelman and his system can make role players looks great but this team needs shooters on the court at all times. Enough with this 2 pg's on the court at the same time. I know that has to do with injuries and having 0 SG's since.....I can't even remember the last decent SG we had.

If we can keep Pek, I only wanna see shooters on the court. Nothing is more frustrating than watching Rubio create a play for someone scared to shoot or someone who can't shoot. The FA class isn't good but Mayo would seemingly be a nice fit. Some size at the 2, some shooting and an ability to create his own shot. Carlisle burying him at the end of the season isn't a good sign but what else do we got.

This shyt is depressing

That's why someone like KCP would be ideal, more than even CJ McCollum who I like. If CJ was 6'5'' he'd be the #1 overall pick. I know Rick wants more size in the backcourt.
