Re: We NEED that pick THIS year!!
I was looking at mock sites....as wolves fans almost always do around March 1. I guess I forgot we also gave our 2nd to OKC this year? Was that the Rubio mistake?
Soo.....there is a better than 50% chance we will have the worst record in the league, no real money to spend in off season, and zero picks next year?
If I didn't laugh I would cry.

If this team limps to the finish line like it probably will and then nothing meaningful is done this off-season, I'm not sure why anyone should show up next year.

Re: We NEED that pick THIS year!!
We need that pick to be top 3 in the worst way. If we lose that, we’re fucked the next 5 years easy. Not getting a top 3 will basically force a Towns trade. I don’t even want to imagine this scenario.
Do they still do the draft order behind closed doors?? I could see the NBA saying were a lost cause and just screwing us over.

Getting one of the top 3 this year could be franchise changing for us. Not getting a pick could be devastating for us.
Root for the losing! I hate doing it but Rosas put us in this situation.
So that means there's about a 42% chance to bother watching next year, right?

Re: We NEED that pick THIS year!!
I’m not a conspiracy guy, but if I was this is the exact opposite of what the NBA would do. Minneapolis/St. Paul is a medium market (not small) that the lowly Wolves are not maximizing. If the NBA wanted to rig things to maximize revenue, they’d look at hopeless situations like the Wolves and try to inject them with hope/interest and not let them wither.Subarudrivingsnowflake wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 1:42 pm We need that pick to be top 3 in the worst way.

Re: We NEED that pick THIS year!!
I just watched Oklahoma State take down Baylor in the Big 12 Tournament. Cade Cunningham is the real deal! I have no doubts that he is going to be a star in the NBA. Getting him on the Wolves would be a big deal and drastically change the future outlook of this franchise.

You won't even have to worry about the lotto balls. Wolves will start winning some games just to mess this up. It's what they do.

As long as we finish among the 3 worst records we will have the same odds. I'm confident they can pull that off.Sergeant Rubetube wrote: ↑Fri Mar 12, 2021 8:17 pm You won't even have to worry about the lotto balls. Wolves will start winning some games just to mess this up. It's what they do.

Re: We NEED that pick THIS year!!
I will repeat: Evan Mobley would be a phenomenal consolation prize if we were lucky enough to end up at number two. He just had back to back games with 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 blocks. This draft is stacked.

Re: We NEED that pick THIS year!!
so that begs the question for twolves geeks. if we do retain our pick this year, but fall to #2 - and assuming cade is the first pick -
do you go with mobley for our 4 (and plan for him at the 5 in a post-KAT team)?
or suggs (and hope to deal Dlo and retain KAT)?
or kuminga (and hope to retain both KAT and Dlo, with AE at the 2, kuminga the 3 and fast-laning mcdaniels into the 4)?

For me it's Evan Mobley easily. He would be the number one pick in a lot of drafts. He reminds me of Anthony Davis a little bit.somuchyummy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 14, 2021 12:58 pm so that begs the question for twolves geeks. if we do retain our pick this year, but fall to #2 - and assuming cade is the first pick -

Re: We NEED that pick THIS year!!
If we get a top 3 pick, be it Cunningham, Mobley or Suggs, I will be elated. Depending on what happens here, Mobley might make the most sense after Cunningham and I think he can easily play PF for us next to Towns.somuchyummy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 14, 2021 12:58 pm so that begs the question for twolves geeks. if we do retain our pick this year, but fall to #2 - and assuming cade is the first pick -

I'd put Jalen Green into the mix for a top three pick. He's been impressive in the G-League.

Re: We NEED that pick THIS year!!
If we can somehow luck out and keep the pick to go with KAT and Ant then things won't look so bad.
I am anxious to see what Finch can do with a whole off-season after getting them to play like this after one practice.

Re: We NEED that pick THIS year!!
Glad Rosas stayed the course as I have been begging. Now, we need that pick. Then start getting some good trades going this offseason.
If we lose that pick we can say it was a major fuck up from Rosas. It's at least 60% out of hands at this point. Let's not let that change.

It appears to me that to legitimately compete for the championship, you need two HOF’ers on your roster.
Cade Cunningham? Evan Mobley? Jalen Suggs?

Isn't Green another SG? I think we may have to step away from that position for some time. Lord knows we've taken enough of them.
PG and PF are huge needs and Cunningham, Mobley, and Suggs fit the bills there. We could use a real 3 with Kuminga but he's been just okay, yeah? Probably not top 3 worthy.

Wish we were losing with that fucker Wiggins instead of DLo. I hate that trade and I'm not sure why it would be made if Rosas wasn't sure we'd be close to a playoff team. Rosas' biggest mistake.

This team has had 3 number one picks in Wiggins kAT and Edwards. What has changed?
Young guys don’t elevate a team. Trent Tucker says this all the time on In the Zone. A rookie 19 year old isn’t going to change things. Our vets need to lead.
They will probably get better but not by buy and it's pretty clear they aren't going to lead us anywhere.
What a dumv fucking take to say that we don't need the #1 pick in one of the most stacked draft classes in a while. Holy shit.
I bet Cade could even win the rising stars MVP!
