Gobert was supposed to magically make Russell a better scorer.

I just think KAT and DLo are both guys that are 45 win dudes… just not the killers/winners. If ANT can’t be the killer or if Rudy can’t gel and raise the teams defense to a top tier level… then they will disappoint. Building around KAT or any big that is soft and bad on defense is just tough… even if they are super skilled. KAT is just such a cringy weirdo… I could never trust him unless he was on a team like GS with big time winners.

This has just been particularly vindicating because SO MANY posters on this board couldn’t fathom how I thought a play-in team trading all of their depth for Gobert was suddenly the best team in the league.
 
My post from August sums it up pretty perfectly:

This is textbook liking a player so much you think nothing can or will go wrong. When it does you’re sitting there wondering how you got there then start making up excuses for why you’re there instead of facing the facts.

They should be a solid regular season team but Ant and Jaden don’t look much better than last year… KAt and Dlo struggling… we shall see… it was risky as hell.

I do think ANT can be the killer on that team though.
 
T'Wolves would be a Conference Finals team in the 90s.. unfortunately in today's game with Gobert & Towns in the middle they just get burnt by today's 3pt shooters.
 
Minnesota falls to 4-4.

Booker didn’t even play the remaining 7:27 of the game and Minnesota got outscored 24-19 in that span.

Gobert with literally only one single shot attempt in 32 minutes and ended up -14.

McDaniels was -18 in 17 minutes.

Russell was -20 in 23 minutes.
 
Grizzlies do look like they could fall into the play-in tournament. If the Pels and Mavs play well, that's the likely outcome.

Minnesota

4-4

As of today would be the #13 pick in the draft.

Brooklyn

2-6

As of today would be the #5 pick in the draft.

Philadelphia

4-4

As of today would be the #17 pick in the draft.

We own Minnesota’s pick unprotected and get the lesser of Brooklyn/Philadelphia/Houston’s picks.

Updated. Great night for us with Minnesota and Brooklyn both losing.

As of today we’d have the 13/17/26 picks in the draft.
