Yeah the Wolves wouldn't be the Wolves if they don't somehow find a way to get honey dicked here somehow!

Can someone here break down D-Ang vs Teague and not do it in a mean spirited way? Sometimes fans just clamor for something new and when that something takes place, things just remain the same.....is this guy a game changer??

Dlo is bigger and plays much bigger. Better handles and shooting

I wouldnt be surprised if the deal in place to land Dlo involves Teague and not Wiggins along with a young asset(s)

I am not super high on DLo but he is an allstar and is trending upward in his career.

2 allstars, better than 1.

And hopefully it means Wiggins is gone. :thumbsup:

Russell is a better scorer and rebounder. Teague has an edge in the assist category. They are basically identical 3 point shooters.

He's more consistent, got more size, will actually be willing to pull the trigger on open shots, a better shooter, dribbler, passer, and I think he's just a better mental player than Teague. Not sure how much he's worth, but he's an upgrade.

After I saw Barnes’ deal, we’re getting rid of Wiggins.

I honestly think you guys are over estimating Russell , there were many times he was benched at the end of the games because of his lack of defensive effort.

Notice I never mention defense haha. Nobody plays defense in the league so who gives a shit just score a hundred and forty and be done with it.

Think - he tried trading the guy after he drafted him, Cleveland would bite. He tried and listened to other teams as well.

Now if he is truly committed to Culver (and he may have painted himself into a corner where he now has to be) the best thing for him to do is move Wiggins.

If you don’t think Rosas was going all out to get Garland you are fooling yourself.
I must have missed this news. Where can I find it?
It’s out there and been posted here, go check the draft night thread as well. Woj also tweeted.

We went through the same exact shit when Thibbs took Dunn as trade bait and so many here refused to believe it even though the exact same info leaked.

Go look for it, or choose not to.
I choose not to. With no proof, its just media generated rumors.

and regardless, Teague was a complete lazy turd on defense too, but also 98% of the time was also lazy on O. I hated hated watching him play except for the 5 min a week he would stack.

I said get Dlo back in September and everyone here said he sucks.

Now everyone loves him and can’t wait to get him.

LoL

That's message board fans for you.

I honestly don't want a guy here that gets benched at the end of games because he doesn't try on defense, that's not playoff basketball.

I have reservations about Russell and have expressed then, but since your take last September, he put up a much, much better season than he had before.

That changes the analysis a little, dontcha think?

Nope, he’s been the same player forever and always and everyone else was just wrongity wrong wrong buttheaded wrong and nobody can have a change of opinion while keeping some reservation over the idea. It’s either all-in or fuck you tell me I’m a God.

Dlo to MN is more and more real. KD plans on 4 year $142M with nets and Kyrie rumors of him agreeing too with nets

In September he hadn’t played one efficient season of NBA basketball. This past season was very efficient. That changes the paradigm. Basic analysis but put yourself on the back some more. You saw his potential I’ll give you dap on that.
