I hate Wiggins more than anyone maybe, but I'm willing to be a fan until the trade deadline next year. If he is still being stupid on the court with his shot selection, defense, FT's, etc then get him the hell out.

Yea, I mean basically as long as he's on the team you have to hope he gets better. We can shit on his effort and basketball iq all day(and I have at times) but he's most likely going to be on the Wolves come October. So let's hope he gets better.

Rosas should be fired immediately if he believes that.
Upside being the key word. He never said he couldn't find better players. ;)
5 godawful seasons in and banking on some upside. Timberwolves basketball everyone!!!!!
Oh lord I'm not a Wiggins Bobo. I have no faith in the guy.

Hi.

I thought I'd use my first post to destroy my credibility with some (most) of you.

I'm on the Wiggins train. I believe that he is going to have a rebound year. IMO, Andrew does not react well to negativism and needs to get positive feedback from those around him. Saunders is the right type of coach to get the most out of him.

All Star, probably not. But we'll see improvement across the board.

I just love this.

:love:
Like that, y'all, pop some more shit.

i admire your optimism. me though, not so much. if andrew hasn't been able to locate his own self-pride, i don't know if any coach can give it to him.

Ben Simmons and Jimmy Butler don’t get a long?

Jimmy Butler and Embied are tight. Trade Wiggins and #10 for Ben simmons? Sixers build around Joel, Jimmy, Wigs.

The Sixers are not going to get rid of Simmons. The organization already has their mind made up if it's between him and Jimmy.

They didn't give up much to get Butler and make a run at it.

October? If he doesn't improve he'll be here for 4 more years, or until he's a cap relief trade. I think he will need more than a few games a year to up his trade value. Like it or not, him improving is all we can hope for. If Rosas can trade him for more than bad contracts, he will be the best GM we've ever had.

I am now convinced you need medical attention. Please have someone drive you to the nearest hospital.

That's why they are "Fans" and not GMs.

Butler will leave and team up with another loser like Kyrie.

I really want to see those two form a team. It will go nowhere.

The Wolves don't have anything of near value to get Simmons. They could offer their whole team without Towns and Philly would hang up the phone lol.

It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

Wiggins is exactly the player his stats say he is.

46th in points
121st in rebounds
129th in assists
95th in steals
91st in blocks

Maybe he should be a bench player.

Neither of those things will have any impact on Wiggins being trash at basketball. You'd be better off hoping he retires early because both have about the same chance of happening.
