I feel bad for Rudy. The reality is that when schemed against by savvy coaches and teams (such as Phoenix, Dallas, etc ) his impact is 100% nullified... Leading him to look clumsy and lost.

We fleeced Minnesota.
Wolves have been elite defensively with Gobert on the court ...

Nets execs now hiding their wives.
Udoka's full story needs to come out so Nets can't hide behind ignorance.

The SA story on Primo and how it has been spun is troubling as well... He exposed himself to the team Psychologist amongst others... apparently it is behavior that is not new... like some noise about it happening during college or earlier. They had to have known about it... extended his contract... only changed their tune on him when the lawsuit was announced/filed.

The problem is their offense. It’s atrocious.
The defense has some issues too... like last night KAT guarding Cam Johnson with Rudy in the drop. Theoretically that means KAT should bury Cam in the post and the offense should make up for it.

It feels like they will have whack a mole type issues fitting KAT and Rudy every night... DLo tough to fit too. Love Rudy but would love whoever we draft with a lotto pick too. Its a no lose situation for me.

If I was the Wolves I want Gobert/Towns playing together more with McLaughlin. I want Edwards playing some more minutes with the 2nd units with Naz Reid.

And I would try to trade Russell for shooting and defenders. Idk how, but get Jae Crowder.

I think the Kyle Anderson signing was good in a vacuum but that's another rough fit with the starting guys.

Yeah it's one of those moves I thought would work because he's such a smart and good player, but damn, they just need shooting. Also don't think the collective IQ of the team is high enough for him to fit well

I don’t know the exact numbers but from what I’ve seen I would guess the Gobert/Towns duo hasn’t been very good offensively or defensively.

Now I'm kind of hoping they do really bad this year and Minnesota just sells low on Gobert to recoup some value and I can stop liking them. Like I could see the Hawks re-entering the Gobert conversation if Wolves decide to move on

One thing I am watching with the wolves... Jaylen Nowell.... he will be an unrestricted FA because they did not give him an extension and he had a 4 year deal... rarely do guys that young hit Unrestricted FA. I think he'd be like the top target I'd go for in FA. Can offer him a bag and a starting spot.
