Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski Wolves asst Pablo Prigioni has known D'Angelo Russell going back to their days in Brooklyn. "I think I have seen D-Lo in so many different moods. This one is the best I’ve ever seen him. Hopefully that impacts on his game, so that means it impacts on our team." 9:06 AM · Oct 3, 2022 ·TweetDeck

lol I think people are over reading this. I know what you mean kgdabom. However with the supposed low picks we would get, and McDaniels' high upside, I am fine giving the picks for him and keeping him. we are making a run now. Jaden fits this team very well what we need and what he may grow into. I would have been very disappointed had we put him in the trade mix. Would have loved to keep Beverley really but you have to give up something. Realistically we gave up very little. Role players and very likely the draft picks of role players at best.

Umm what? Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA · 46m Karl-Anthony Towns says he wasn't cleared to walk until Saturday in his recovery from the illness he has been dealing with. Towns said he is going to keep taking the doctors advice, but said the odds of him being back for the regular season "looks good".

Here's the report by Windhorst on KAT Karl-Anthony Towns was hospitalized last week with a throat infection that caused him trouble breathing and forced him to be on bed rest for days. Towns said his weight was down to 231 pounds (he's listed at 248), but he didn't reveal the nature of the non-COVID-19 illness. Towns didn't get clearance to walk again until Saturday. "I'm still recovering. I'm still getting better," Towns told reporters in Minneapolis before the team left on a 10-day preseason road trip. "There was more drastic things to worry about than basketball [during the illness]." During the offseason, Towns had stem-cell treatments and platelet-rich plasma injections in both knees, his left ankle, left wrist and right finger. BRIAN WIDHORST/ESPN

Karl Juhnke -> RE: Wolves 2022 Off Season and Draft (10/5/2022 9:48:38 AM)
I saw a picture of Towns. Yes he looks really skinny. I don’t know if he’ll put it all back on soon, but the good news is, he probably doesn’t need to play with as much bulk any more. Given his new role he’ll be expected to me more mobile and not hunkered down banging around the post as much. That’s what Gobert is for.

Karl Juhnke -> RE: Wolves 2022 Off Season and Draft (10/5/2022 9:55:01 AM)
I saw most of the game last night. No KAT, no Gobert, no D’lo so we didn’t get much of a preview. They won pretty easily, but the intensity of regular season wasn’t there, everything seemed comfortable and easy. Ant especially seemed able to do what he wanted without really breaking a sweat. So we really didn’t learn much, except that they can look competent and do the right things vs 75% defense.

Ah, the battle for the best of the worst of the bottom feeders vying for the top draft pick.

Phil Riewer -> RE: Wolves 2022 Off Season and Draft (10/7/2022 7:31:32 AM)
Bill, I didn't realize the Lakers picked up Damian Jones, Walker, and Bryant. The Lakers should be better than last year with those 3 and the addition of Beverly. I watched a little of the preseason game last night and they were interviewing next years #1 pick....pretty well spoken.

Phil Riewer -> RE: Wolves 2022 Off Season and Draft (10/7/2022 10:48:01 AM)
MinnSportsFan @HomerWolves · 21m Replying to @brittrobson Call me crazy but I think Forbes can give you exactly what Beasley does at a fraction of the cost and a bit more consistent. MinnSportsFan @HomerWolves · 17m Replying to @HomerWolves and @brittrobson We functionally swapped: Vando for Anderson Beasley for Forbes PatBev for Rivers I think the former might be a tad better overall but again, the cost is so much less and we add Gobert who addresses so many weaknesses.

Phil Riewer -> RE: Wolves 2022 Off Season and Draft (10/7/2022 10:48:19 AM)
brittrobson @brittrobson You see the elevation in Jaden McDaniels game and you think, Chris Finch really knows what he's doing. You see Bryn Forbes exceeding expectations and think, Tim Connelly really knows what he's doing. Taurean Prince, Ant, J-Mac. Even Nate Knight. Good times.

Phil Riewer -> RE: Wolves 2022 Off Season and Draft (10/7/2022 10:49:07 AM)
brittrobson @brittrobson · 45m Gobert"s a great defender no doubt (duh). But the way the guards are trapping high pick-and-rolls, the way court coverage soars when Kyle Anderson checks in, and the way the defensive-turnover-into offense template is being reinstated whether Rudy on the floor or not is also aces brittrobson @brittrobson · 42m All in all, a high bar for KAT when he returns.

That was my thought when the trade was made. Those three made contributions, but in the end they are very replaceable, and for less money, so you can't get too attached to them, especially to add a piece like Gobert. I think Vando ended up being the hardest one to see leave. I didn't think much of him at first but really grew to appreciate what he gave. I wish him well.

Traded 30 million away for 4 million.

TJSweens -> RE: Wolves 2022 Off Season and Draft (10/10/2022 9:42:01 AM)
When the Wolves traded for Gobert, I was initially shocked by sheer volume of assets going out the door. On second, third, fourth and fifth glances, it became clear that the players were very replaceable. Vando is the only one I really miss and they easily replaced him. Beasley and Beverly are the very definition of journeymen.

Phil Riewer -> RE: Wolves 2022 Off Season and Draft (10/10/2022 9:59:27 AM)
I think this is the best bench and roster that we have ever had. You can see how it is layered so well to retool every couple of years right now. Gobert 30, Anderson 29, Prince 28, Forbes 29, Rivers 30 Kat 26, DLO 26, McLaughlin 26 Ant 21, McDaniels 22, Naz 23, Nowell 23, Moore 21, Minot 20 The guys in 10 day tryouts will make other rosters. Practice has to be nuts.

Training Camp/Exhibit 10/Exhibit 9 P.J. Dozier PG $2,133,278 - $1,836,090 - - - Exhibit-10 CJ Elleby SF $1,836,090 - $1,836,090 - - - Exhibit-10 Luka Garza C $1,637,966 - $1,637,966 - - - Exhibit-10 I think these 3 players will make NBA rosters. Dozier is coming off of an injury but if they agree to go to the G League I think they will be sniped.
