Towns vs Okafor?

Towns is a low stamina, soft player that needs to be traded, haven't you heard?

This is very simple. Is Saunders fully ready to be a great coach? Probably not. Is he over his head? No. Does he demand a big salary? Of course not. Does Taylor signing and paying a big coach cost us picks and players and more picks and more players? Of course it does.

Shit owner. After that it's just how do we deal with a shit owner that doesn't cost us even more. Taking a chance on Ryan at a low number is a way to do that.

Shit owner. No chance to do anything but not totally fuck your future. Until he finally dies. I mean, you want to know what your Wolves luck is? Taylor is alive and Flip isn't.

Explain to me how this complete and utter laziness is on the coach? These players just don't care and have zero self respect, I have a hard time putting that on anyone except the players.

I thought that a month ago. I just don't see Glen bringing in another coach until Thibs contract has expired.

The defense is concerning for sure. He's going to have to turn that around over training camp next season. It's nowhere.near good enough.

This team is a dumpster fire...KAT do the right thing and demand to get out, don’t waste your prime with an owner who sucks at running a competent organization and surrounds you with scrubs

I’m Okay. I like our team. If Layden picked Okogie, that means he can scout a little bit.

Get everyone healthy back,

PG, Wiggins, Roco, Saric, Towns. That’s a big starting 5 and good

Unless you add one hell of a PG, that team is lucky to win 40.
