Minny & Cavs 2025 picks watch thread

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

We got Lauri in a similar tanking trade as OKC got SGA. SGA > Lauri. But they also picked up...

Chet > Kessler
Jalen > all of the jazz picks

Other role players are pretty decent hits compared to ours. We didn't leverage the next 2 drafts after we dropped off like they did. And here we are.

OKC took a couple seasons to tear down after they traded Paul George and picked up SGA. They traded Russell Westbrook for Chris Paul and were a playoff team for a season (19/20) before they traded CP3 to the Suns.

OKC tanked the 20/21 season, when they drafted Josh Giddey. Then they tanked the 21/22 season when they drafted Chet and JDub. They were a play-in team in 22/23, when they drafted Cason Wallace (flipping picks with Dallas).

The point is not about tanking but tanking well on my opinion. Half tank and poor picks we have done last 2 years does not make us any better. Hope this year, we draft in a much better way. The year we blow all out, we got a big opportunity to tank hard and get a chance to go after Wemby ...if he was here today....

Minny lost 2 in a row. So... thats good.

Minny lost 2 in a row. So... thats good.

Spurs also won a close game against Denver (pushing Minnesota down).

Lets go Malik Threesley!

Another splash from Malik!

Man the wolves went from promising to when are they trading Ant in a hurry

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Ant has 43 pts in the 3rd quarter. No one else on the Twolves has more than 8.

4th quarter and he has 51 now.
Gobert with zero

Portland's win and the Twolves loss softens the blow of the Jazz win.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

Wolves in 10th place in the West again after 3 losses in a row. The other 2 were tough games but the Pistons? You gotta love it baby.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

Ha ha ha ha ha! T-Wolves have a neutral record closing in on the midpoint of the season! Ha ha ha ha ha.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

Locker room of Wolves may implode soon if they don't make a trade asap. I didn't watch last games but watch this one and i have never seen Rudy and Mike playing with no heart at all like tonight. Rudy did not even try to rebound or block the paint and Mike did nothing except passing the ball. As i say, if they don't make a smart trade, i won't be surprised we got a good lottery pick as they are not even a play-in team level right now.

 

[latin jazz]

We also need the Spurs and GWS to get it going. GSW have an easier schedule in January

 

[Flc]

That Wolves locker room seems bad. Losing a bunch won’t help and each one hurts a bit more. Might get ugly - fingers crossed!

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Good news is the Kings are finding a groove. Would help push Wolves down.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Wolves getting smacked at home

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

Locker room is broke. Lottery team definitely

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

I don't know...At least warriors or Suns I can't see going into tank mode for their aging legends running the team as no1 options. But Kings or Spurs might? Would they? The west is so damn stacked Jazz could actually land another lottery pick while Wolves being 50-50 team.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Freaking Wolves. When you think they are down, they get back up
