The Scoop: David Thorpe on the Wolves, NBA free agency, and draft fallout (48:16)
David Thorpe says in all of his years working with pro players they've never complained about playing in Minneapolis, especially if they have a family. However, the two most common complaints are the lack of an imaginative management and ownership group and, more recently, Thibs isn't fun to play for in a league where they have lots of options for fun coaches.
He also gives a nice rundown of the available wings.

Zach Lowe pod with Kevin Arnovitz yesterday. They talk Wolves about 2/3 in.
Nothing major, but here's a spoiler on what I recall.

A little '09 draft discussion between Steph Curry and Bill Simmons on this week's podcast around the 38-minute mark. If you read between the lines, it sounds like Curry wouldn't have objected to playing in Minnesota.

"Bill Simmons sits down with Steve Nash to talk about his induction into the NBA Hall of Fame, spending time with the Golden State Warriors, MVP criteria, how to fix American soccer, Kylian Mbappé, Ronaldo vs. Messi, and Steve’s new gig broadcasting Champions League soccer."
One interesting bit of the conversation regarded what drives players to succeed and how environment plays a role. For example, Nash mentioned that Durant's motivation for joining Golden State most likely wasn't to chase a ring, but instead to join a fun work environment where guys pull for one another and compete at a high level. He had that for a minute in Oklahoma City, but those relationships started to dissolve the second they traded Harden, then Ibaka, and so on.
That got me thinking about what motivates Minnesota's best players:
Butler: An environment of hard work and sacrifice where he becomes a critical player on a championship team. Jimmy's at his best when he's up against the best players in the league and when his team is giving the same effort he is.
Wiggins: Respect and recognition for what he does on the court. His best games come against his hometown where people love him, against players like Kobe who acknowledged Wiggins' skill, and Cleveland, the team who took him #1 overall, regardless of the fact they traded him.
KAT: Camaraderie and recognition for his unique skills. KAT's at his best when he's having fun, playing against some of his best friends, and sharing the court with his mentors.
- Butler will fail because he's so single-minded, he lacks adaptability.
- Wiggins will especially fail if his own teammates and coaches don't believe in him.
- KAT will fail when it's not fun to come to work anymore.
Either these guys need to start supporting one another, or the whole thing is going to go down the drain quickly.

Yep, really good post. Wiggins always came across to me as a confidence player. He needs to build up confidence to show his true skills. When his teammates believe in him and he believes in himself, that dude is scary good. Which is why you see him go on these hot and cold streaks so much during a season.

Normally Simmons is so anti-Wolves but his recent podcast was actually pretty good on the situation.
Basically thought a big issue was Jimmy acting like he was walking in as a 5 time champ when in reality he's only been to the second round.

He does a little regarding Taylor, but yeah I was actually surprised especially considering he's had Butler on the show several times.KevinBaconIsNotMyHero wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 3:57 pmThanks.

I've been listening to him a lot over the last year or so. I enjoy him a lot more than I used to.

Re: *** The Official Podcast Thread ***
The latest episode of Locked on Suns, they discussed Jeff Teague. They want to win and are very interested. GM and ownership are trying to at least become competitive now. Being a bottom 3 team two years in a row takes a toll on your fan base and ticket sales. They are suggesting trading Dragon Bender for Teague in a 3 team deal with the Heat and Wolves.
Heat Butler
Wolves Dragic, Winslow, Bender
Suns Teague
They believing add Teague with Ariza and Ryan Anderson will help speed up the learning process for Booker, Jackson, and Ayton.
Teague. Booker, Ariza, Anderson, Ayton would be competitive and a short term build for the team.

Biggest takeaway was he admitted, "we know we're not necessarily going to win this year". And he talked about winning at the right period of time.T_J wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 9:54 am Rosas on Howard Beck. I haven't listened yet.

If you're blocking tweets like that, may as well just ignore your replies in general or block everyone.

Listening to Saunders on The Lowe Post right now. So far nothing of value other than rehashing old stories we've all heard already.
