Kind of a huge difference between rooting for the Lakers and the Timberwolves

Kind of a huge difference between rooting for Malone to win at the end of his career on a different team vs a player in their prime on a different team.

Depth? Minnesota traded barely anything and are one of the deepest teams in the NBA. Our tenth guy from last year is on a 2 way contract for them.

They are going to be a great team, potentially special if Ant and McDaniels continue to develop.

Beverley was the heart and soul of that team and they barely won a play-in game against the Kawhi-less Clippers. Their ceiling is a second round exit.

Were a lot of you guys rooting for the Lakers to win the title in 2004 so Malone could get a ring?

Well, seeing as how Malone signed there as a free agent and wasn’t traded when he was a 30 year old who wanted to spend his career here, no.

Hey we aren't winning it in the next 3-5 years. They can win one or two in that time frame, give us something to cheer for, then we can take over and it can be our turn for a dynasty from these 1,349 draft picks we are going to get.

You do realize the wolves being great has a direct impact on our ability to improve. Root for Gobert but hope that the wolves still struggle.

Yeah, Malone a pedophile on the Lakers and Gobert is a great dude on one of the worst franchises in NBA history looking to be relevant for the first time ever.

Yeah but it’s actually kinda crazy, I know it won’t make sense, but anyone rooting for the Wolves doesn’t actually change the outcome of any of those events.

Yeah and that team now is about to (potentially) get huge leaps from two highly athletic highly talented athletes and they added Kyle Anderson. Oh and they added one of the GOAT defenders of all time who will also hugely boost their offensive efficiency

 

[Elizah Huge]

Minnesota isn’t better than Golden St, Denver with Murray coming back, Clippers with Kawhi coming back, Phoenix with the entire team returning, Memphis with the entire team returning, etc.

Tell me which teams they’re going to be better than. They’re gonna be battling for the 5th-6th seed at best. A lot of delusional people on here.

This was in my calculation but forgot about. Adding Anderson is like having Joe Ingles.

This might be wild to hear, but who you root for has absolutely zero impact on the outcome of things so if you like a player there is zero harm in rooting for them to win.

If you don't that is fine too, but Im not going to feel like I'm "cheating" on the Jazz because I'm not excited to watch NAW and company win 28 games.

Which is correct but just because it doesn’t change the outcome doesn’t mean it’s not ****ing weird lmao.

The healthy Joe Ingles.
