Yeah, this is some Linsanity lightening in the bottle kinda shit.

I like this kid.

But, he’s making it quite clear that he wants a huge bag or he’s dipping.

I don't have a huge issue with this.

Jeannie loves the kid. And he has a lot of potential. I don't think anyone is expecting him to be an all-star, but if he can average 12-15ppg he will be a huge asset for the future.

What Rob's main focus this offseason should be is to keep the core of the team in tact and off-load some of the lesser rotation pieces. I like Beasley but I don't see him coming back unless he takes the minimum or MLE. Rui will have to take a pay cut too. And Lonnie is gone!

The saddest part is this actually helps the Wolves.

Kat can go back to the 5 and stop playing like he’s Luke Kennard.

Yes and no.

I agree it helps the Wolves to an extent, but the lack of Goberts (almost) 12rpg is going to hurt them.

The KAT vs AD match up will be fun though.

Rudy can’t guard AD.

His 6 fouls would have been his biggest contribution.

AD should STARCH KAT.

But, some times watching him play is akin to trying to charge your iPhone using a hamster wheel.

Frustrating, fruitless and ridiculous.

Also, the driving lanes will be wide open for Edwards because KAT thinks he’s Steph Curry.

He’s going to draw Davis out of the lane.

The missing player that hurts them the most is Naz Reid.

The plusses Gobert adds defensively and on the boards are negated by his offense

The other team doesn’t need to guard him until he is a foot away from the rim.

He’s as likely to get a 3 second call as he is to score….especially since they rarely pass him the ball anyway.

….and with good reason.

AD needs to get KAT into foul trouble. If he does that, there is literally nobody to stop him in the paint!

I don't give a shit about Gobert getting suspended. McDaniels breaking his hand in a hissy fit is the real loss here. I am glad the Wolves went out of their way to prove me right for tuning out the NBA season this year.
