Crazy that Wolves can still go pretty far. Not that KAT isnt important, but they have Reid.

If the KAT injury is more the 9-12 month variety than the 3-6 month variety it is pretty harmful for them next year. Next year was the year that budget cuts may come… and if KATs trade value is low then the other options will hurt more. New owners are lined up to be pretty deep into the tax with only tough ways to cut salary.
Woj is saying he might not miss anytime. Didnt use the word "tear" like Shams did.
The Jazz hot streak was tied to Simone getting minutes and starting. He didn't have any real holes in his game other than his first year with the Jazz was flat due to his injury.
We might regret trading him but he you have to make tough and even dumb choices to fulfill the bigger picture. This one may haunt us in some respects.
I just want to win and only do building with picks we already have. I think there is big value in that. We are never going to have a Wemby fall into our lap. Just go for it on blind faith and build it up like crazy while we still have Lauri.
Oh sorry for the hijack just getting frustration off my chest.
And one more thing that shooting touch as a rookie for Brice is super encouraging. The passing, rebounding, and the average defense is showing big time promise for his future - he will only improve. Just pray he can continue to lean up and to avoid injury, we could have another potential near all-star player or better.
Okay I am done scribbling my crazy fan rantings but I had to let it out. I feel much better. Have fun!

I would say the passing has easily been the worse thing. He has thrown a lot of terrible passes. He tries to be a passer, but he has been throwing the ball away. It was the same thing in the G-Leauge.
That can improve but there are moments so I think there is something there.
I think we could have gotten Simone to come back on somewhat of a hometown discount. He seemed to love playing here, and teams don't seem to be thrilled about tying up their cap space to RFA's. But let's just say for arguments sake he would have signed for a fair, market value contract. If we are not a team that wants to pay a player like Simone what he's worth, what team are we and what direction are we going?
I really wish we had dumped Clarkson and kept Simone.

If the Wolves play well without KAT then maybe it makes them more likely to try and move him this off season.
I think the NBA should have a come back player of the year award. I think it's pretty cool when guys like Dunn or Exum are able to make it back to the league and make a positive impact for a team. Or maybe guys that overcame injuries could be included. I think these kind of stories should be celebrated.
Not that it's a big deal, but just haven't seen it posted yet, we should be hoping for OKC and LAC losses and DEN, MIN, MIL, and CLE wins in order to have our late pick as good as possible.
