So dyckman where's it's at?

been that way for a while. No diss to the other tourneys, but Rucker simply lives off its name.

Ya'll got two young guards now at point.. what can you get for Rubio?

A guarantee not to make the playoffs

A guarantee not to make the playoffs

I forgot about all the playoff success you guys have had since drafting Rubio. Remind me again

 

[Piff Huxtable]

I've never met a fan so cynical of his team, the fukk are you even a fan for?

5 years of Ricky Rubio will do that to you

They're a losing organization. That doesn't fall on any one player. That falls on the fish who rots from the head. They were losers for years prior to him being here. Gonna blame him for that too?

If I thought he wasn't useful why would I think he should be here? What I've said is that the team can't function without him. I wish that weren't true but facts are facts.

When's the last time you ever talked about the team without mentioning him? Matter of fact, when's the last time you ever talked about the team?

You being a retard doesn't make discussion about hoops here any less annoying.

What’s else there to talk about? Wolves are set at PF and SF/SG, got some other promising pieces and finally a real coach. The only major weakness is your wack ass PG that hasn’t improved since he was a teenager. There hasn’t been that big of a talent discrepancy in the league between a PG and the rest of the team since fukking Matt Maloney on the 97 Rockets.

I will ignore your personal attacks because you are probably dealing with mental illness or class III obesity related health problems right now

The team would function fine without him now that you have Dunn, sorry but the Rubio ship sailed and he's either A. Going to get traded or B. Going to be eventually be Dunn's backup.

It's fine to be a pessimist when a team has no prospects, but the fact of the matter is you loved Towns and got him and you loved Dunn and got him, two players you coveted for years are part of your franchises future and you're still not happy, even with an elite coach.

 

[Brozay]

Bobby should.

I think they already have Niko penciled in ... I really like Bobbys game though, he can be a very good player once he gets more comfortable offensively and plays within the flow of the offense more

He's got the skillset to be a 16-18 & 10 guy

 

[tremonthustler1]

That's what I'm daring you to do.

Wolves are set at PF and SF/SG,

Yeah that Towns guy is expendable though. You're proving my point. You can't even talk about that squad independent of him without looking clueless.

the fukk is wrong with your reading comprehension?

I'm saying prove it, because for every other player you or someone else claimed could do it, they didn't. I'm not saying Dunn can't. I'm saying its not gonna happen next year.

He's gonna be gone after next year. Fine. Do I think they're better off doing that? Unless Dunn PROVES that, no. The reality is I don't see how trading their best defender, passer and rebounder on a deficient in all three areas helps unless Dunn is better than him at all three phases next year and you know he won't. To say he will would mean he's not just ROY. He'd be a top 20 player and an MVP candidate. I like Dunn, but I don't think he's that level of good (otherwise he should have unquestionably went first overall).

Not to mention the bench still looks like shyt and the best scorer on it is likely the guy Thibs will wanna run outta here.


You still don't get it. This isn't pessimism. This is a 12 year streak that hasn't been broken. This isn't about the players. If you wanna give a clean slate to an organization that doesn't deserve it, fine. The last 12 years gives me every right not to do that. Until they break that streak, this is where I stand on it. You can disagree but then you can't front and understand where I'm coming from.

Towns switched between PF and C last season

matter of fact the Wolves played their best ball last season when Dieng was their nominal C

a blind person can see that long term the Wolves should use Towns in a Tim Duncan role

Towns started at C every game. Dieng was the one who played the 4 in place of KG. Otherwise he was backing up Towns

i must have only imagined the Timberwolves looking the best in years on their west coast road trip playing Dieng @ the 5 then
