Thibs is just bringing the gang back together.

Karl will lead them to a title. I'm certain he is the future of the NBA like Tim Duncan was for a few years.

After the warriors run is done in the west it'll be the T-Wolves time

Couldn't happen to a better kid.

Unfortunately warriors have like 5 good more years at least

They really could but then again five years is a long time in sports.

 

[Supafuzz75]

Starting to look like the 2010 bulls reunion..

 

[502 Wildcat]

Wolves are loaded. Towns, Wiggins, Butler, Gibson, Teague...what a core.

 

[BleedinBlue85]

Honestly how good is Gibson these days?

 

[BleedinBlue85]

With what the timberwolves had I just have to wonder why in the hell were they so damn awful?

I see maybe 2 or 3.

the reason. Green and Klay's contract is up in 2 years.

They might make a play before that, it'll be interesting. If they pull off a great draft pick, maybe they can even extend it. But they are solidly good for 2 more years.

 

[GoCatsForever2k15]

Wish they could've landed millsap instead. Word is he's asking for way too much and minne wasn't willing to overpay.

Warriors time will end when Draymond expects a max contract. How can they keep Curry, Draymond, KD and Klay all happy? Odd man out to me will be Klay and when they lose one their run will start to decline.

Ya but if they're on a dynasty type
Run , I think klay and green will stick around

 

[Deli owl]

Very nice pick up.

He's not that great & shouldn't be mention in a "core" for anyone.

Exactly. Decent. But this is way overpaying for what amounts to an effort player at this stage.

They got that Patton kid just outside the lottery too. I don't know much about him, but potential mixed with a rookie salary is a good thing.

I love his upside. He can shoot and has very good hand eye coordination. In a few years he could be a monster steal. Had he played for us he would have went in the top 10

 

[truebluewildcat]

The kid from Arizona has some really nice upside. If he pops, Wolves have something special in the making.

People keep talking about a "tibs defensive juggernaut", but I see explosive offensive/scoring potential with KAT, Wiggins, Markannen, Butler. All of them can shoot and score the ball.

Taj is a solid vet and great role playing/mentor/glue type of guy, and Teague is a solid pg who can run a team, dish the rock, and not have to be a diva, ball dominant star.

Even if he can just be decent, that will make the Jimmy Butler trade a steal.

Markkanen is on the Bulls. Was traded as part of the Butler trade.

The Arizona kid was traded

Well, not sure I would have done that. Definitely a move for right now as Butler is in his prime and Wolves are looking to make the next step sooner rather than later. I think the zona kid may have better upside though.

Towns, Butler, Wiggins is still a pretty solid attack. What I said about Taj and Teague still holds.
