Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
So would everyone other than MAYBE Wiggins, but cool, go after the guy who clearly impacts them positively on the court. Makes perfect sense.


The other guys are STILL young players full of potential, Rubio has been in the league 4 years now, and was a pro for 5 years prior to that. He is what he is at this point, if you had a fire auction teams would want in order -

- Towns
- Wiggins
- LaVine
- Dieng
- Muhammad
- Martin


He'd be in a 3 way tie with Payne and Bennett, and I'd suspect teams would want them before him because of his contract. In a league where the PG spot is the deepest, you have one of the 5 worst in the league starting for you. You want to talk impact? how about the impact he has on an offense when you can literally leave him wide open at all times, he's on self check to the point people give him a 5 foot cushion and when the ball isn't in his hands you're basically going 4 on 5, he's at the 3 line and his defender is at the foul line :dead:


I don't want the ball in someones hands 24/7 that can't get me 20 minimum, you better be an elite scorer if you're going to monopolize the ball, and he's not that.

fukk the word potential. It doesn't apply when the organization can't be trusted to get the most out of you (and in some cases there's no potential there)

All that shyt you said yet they're SIGNIFICANTLY better with him than without him. When that is no longer the case, then deal with a replacement then. In the meantime, how about your "potential" figure out how to win a game without knowing they're gonna lose the next one.

Potential is why you're going to draft Towns over Jahlil

How about finding a replacement now, I mean it's obvious as hell this dude is simply not a starter. The Hawks have a backup better than him, the Magic have a rookie that is comparable to him, he's not some irreplaceable asset and he's certainly not someone you should build around. He's expendable and I think the Wolves are finally starting to realize it.

They aren't looking at Russell to play him with Rubio, they're looking at him to replace him.

Or, just trade Nerlens for a PG.


The fact that yall have Saric in your back pocket leads me to believe the Porzingis shyt is real, mainly because of the fact Saric isn't much of a shooter and could destroy spacing if he's on the floor with Embiid & Nerlens even with shooters at the 1 & 2. But, he's a ball handling 4 kind of like Odom, if you put him on the floor with Porzingis then you don't have to worry about the spacing as much as if you had Nerlens, Saric and Embiid out there together.
I see what u saying but I hear they see Saric more as a combo forward off the bench. And to trade Nerlens Hinkie would need to get tremendous value back. Considering he got a potential top 5 pick for MCW :dead:

His chance at that being a high pick was this season

Lakers might be a lottery team next season but they won't be one of the five worst teams in the league next season

They're going to add randle, the number two pick, get Kobe back, and probably two of the top 10 free agents

Because for the millionth time Flip is incapable of being able to find that talent. If he wants to dump Ricky, he doesn't wanna win because doing that at the expense of having a Dieng /Bennett /Payne frontline and NO defense whatsoever says he doesn't give a shyt. There's no way you can argue otherwise and you have yet to make the compelling argument that they will be better than a flimsy "they have potential" case. You can count the amount of actual Wolves fans who trust Flip on one hand yet you wanna bet the house on him. I don't get it. Don't get it at all.

Tell you what, I'll fall back and let them succeed or fail on their own regardless of what he does. If they do well, I will not say a word. If they suck, I will not say a word. We're watching two completely different teams at work. I will not interrupt the Flip Saunders for Exec of the Year campaign you think you'll have going on 3 years.
