Damn, I can't imagine what KAT is going through right now. 7 family members died from it. It has to be awful for him right now.

the mortality rate within his family is concerning. anyone know enough about covid to know if there might be a genetic factor involved - in terms of how hard it hits you?

Zero chance, after what KAT went through this summer with Covid there's no way he would agree to that.

Towns will come back and improve the Wolves spot in the standings. He will get us out of a top 3 pick to about 5 or 6.

Probably. He'll come back and wolves will win games to climb up to mediocre then they'll say Saunders improved and we have to give him a chance next year and round and round we'll go. We either suck, or we're average, never great. One of the reasons my sig line says Minnesota is mired in mediocrity.

If we were to call the Wolves average or mediocre, we’d be exaggerating.

Any word on how he’s doing? Did he come down with the disease or is he asymptomatic?

Does anyone know?
