Would've loved KD or Booker, personally


KD would waste all the assets for a guy who only has a couple of years left. Booker wasn't even available.

Would barely have made a dent in the assets. The organization told us they aren't serious about winning this year. They're just playing the long game. I'm not saying it's the wrong strategy, but it's the reality.

This freaking organization has had 4 straight top 4 picks in the draft and it doesn't look like they will get a true number 1 superstar out of any of them. The timberwolves have had 1 top 10 pick in the last 8 years and it's Anthony Edwards.

Up until the last week they were doing very well in clutch situations/games, but that was almost entirely on their defense. Just can't keep up, if the defense isn't up to snuff and it hasn't been lately.

Unless it's the first pick you know it's not easy to get a superstar right? And amen is looking like he may get there sooner rather than later. We tried to tank and could never get the number 1 pick. No Cade no wemby no paoblo.

Need VanVleet in the line-up to cancel out Jalen Green's stupidity.

Jalen is a walking turn over.

The collapses are what they are. It's why I don't have expectations in the playoffs. This team is 20-23 years old. Amen is in his 2nd year.

They have to grow and learn. They don't have another gear yet let Ant and more experienced teams do. These are really talented college kids that have to go thru the fire.

It's frustrating but necessary.

Yep, agreed.

Tough stretches are bound to happen with any team, and the youth factor increases it a bit.

Just learn my dudes. Learn, learn, learn.

Should definitely help with the killer instinct in the 4th quarter.
