Gobert to Minnesota

The picks go until 2029. You want to try to predict the state of the league at that point?

Go back to the franchise inception and let me know if it’s a good gamble that the Wolves won’t be awesome for the better part of a decade.

The wolves are going to be in the lottery at least one year we have their pick. Although I think they have the talent to be a contender

Anthony Davis on that Lakers team was playing center.

Thats a good one. He wasn't really anything like gobert though which I think is really what folks are discussing. Whether Gobert could have led us to a title. Also could be argued that lebron was the key piece on that team rather than Davis.

Shaq no. Dwade and Kobe's teams. Hakeem maybe. How many years as that been? 25?

I think those lakers teams were shaqs more than kobes. I was definitely more worried about shaq than kobe when we played them.

While I agree, I think that with most superstars (I only consider the top 10 players or so to be superstars) typically get past the 2nd round after 10 years or so playing for a team.

You’ve lost your mind, fish :-)

Was Rudy on the lakers and nets?

No. Why do you ask? My post was in regard to people looking at a team on paper and putting them right into the finals discussion (someone said that the twolves were bound for the finals now or something). I was simply pointing out that on paper, prior to the start of last year, the lakers and the nets were the favorites. They didn't come close to sniffing the finals and the same might occur with the wolves next season.

Might or might not, time will tell. But with 2 top 20 bigs and a rising star having them in the conversation is perfectly reasonable.

Who'd they end up trading again if it was Shaq's team?

Who gets traded doesn't determine anything. If you were to ask me why shaq got traded it was simply because Kobe was younger and was going to be good for longer (and they were correct)

Agreed. Just like having the lakers and nets in the convo to start last season was perfectly reasonable.
However, vegas has the wolves with the exact same odds at a title as they had the jazz at prior to the trade. The jazz just lost in the first round to a team without their star for a few games so apparently vegas doesn't think much of the wolves.
