And the Wolves aren't making the finals now either, but they're closer to the Warriors timeline now because of the moves Thibs made. Before, they had youth and could have just let the team grow naturally and wait out the Warriors, now they have to go at them because Jimmy is 28 and they will have to max him out after next season.
I never said anything about starting Lauri for the Wolves, they could have signed Dedmon for half the cost of Taj, he's a better rim protector than Taj, plays C exclusively which moves KAT to PF, and he can hit threes....all for half of what Taj cost.
Last year, Wolves sign Cole Aldrich to a 3 year deal and gives Dieng a four year contract extension. Neither of them play that much anymore. This year, Thibs drafts another center (Justin Patton) over a defensive wing like Anunoby. Just horrible roster management
