Well I could see Jimmy going to LA then next summer ...

Here’s the issue with that if I’m the Lakers...Jimmy will be 30 next year. He’s played A LOT of minutes..at some point that’s going to show up. Not to mention potential locker room concerns with how he handles young players.

i dont think any of that would stop Magic .. especially if he cant get other stars ... he basically needs to fulfill his promise of landing stars now

Joe has a 100% chance of making it. His resume speaks volumes

I wouldn't be shocked if he made it but that's not such a guarantee.

Longevity (he'll be part of the 20K/5K/5K club soon) and his 7 all star selections speak for him but he only has 1 ALL-NBA selection, was never considered among the top players of the league and his international experience was poor (bronze in 2006).

More decorated players such as Moncrief, Marques Johnson, Sikma & Webber still ain't make it. Tho I guess they had a shorter career/prime than Iso Joe :manny:

I don't know, I think the Wolves made a good move for the franchise. We weren't keeping Lavine/Wiggins/Towns together and it was inevitable one of them would have to go and LaVine was the "easiest" of the three to trade. But winning is important and players around the league need to see the Timberwolves making a concerted effort to win because we aren't getting any top tier Free Agents to sign here but we still have to be attractive to the mid-level players. I think there will be real discussion on moving Wiggins this summer or next year and keeping Jimmy. I would prefer that because I don't see enough in Wiggins to make me believe he's gonna push himself or his teammates to be better while Jimmy has clearly done that.

There's no way you can sit back and wait and assume your team is going to run the league because other teams fall off. Teams are improving themselves every year, players are teaming up more so it's not like the Sixers are guaranteed to be the best team in the East in 3 years, the Wolves couldn't count on the Warriors falling off and none of the other teams leveling up. LaVine/Wiggins/Towns had not shown enough together to assume they would all of a sudden become great defenders and a winning team. The only criticism I have of the trade is the Wolves traded the wrong guy :yeshrug:

Yea they shoulda kept lavine cuz wiggins & jimmy are redundant.If I'm minnesota I'm trading wiggins this summer ,they can sucka some team into a decent haul dude never been impressive to me

Glenn taylor should of hired fred hoiberg for that core not thibs(who overrated af as a head coach).He worked in the t wolves fo and played for them the owner knew him ,thibs needs to coach vets he's too impatient to coach young players.

coulda developed a future powerhouse :manny:

Flawed logic

We aren't gonna agree

If Lavine just came off a ACL injury, can't even play in back to back games & playing restricted minutes:usure::mjlol:Thibs traded the right nikka & did Lavine's career a favor.
Meanwhile Wiggins is way more durable(only miss 1 game outta his whole career) Which also makes him more valuable.

Thibs aint overrated..His a winning & solid coach..Nothing more & nothing less.

:umad:Lame ass nikkas & their annia

This Fultz situation just keeps getting crazier. :dahell:


Kyle Neubeck of the Philly Voice profiled Fultz's search for his lost jumper and included the tidbit of information Monday. The Sixers are reportedly using the technology to help Fultz "visualize the mechanics he'll use in a game, to remember how easy it once was for him to rise up with the ball and shoot from anywhere on the court and to be able to do so without the glare of the cameras or other people around him.
