Mega Thread Minnesota Timberwolves Thread - The Finch Era begins

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

To be fair it was no Love, no Pek, no Budinger (injured in the first minute), no Martin, so didn't expect a whole lot. Still a disappointing loss though.

So thats how we play like with no Love

Im looking forward to the first pick of the 2016 draft.

But his stats are empty!!!
I noticed the other day that Griffin didn't play against the Rockets because of back spasms but the Clippers still got up easily.

 

[Pie Legend]

DC thrown into jail again?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Supposedly for terrorism threats...

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Othyus Jeffers signed for Price. Should get some minutes today considering we've got hardly any players left.

 

[power09]

Dafuk...

Funny what happens when we play a team actually half capable of defense.

The Rockets D Sucked. I mean, Brewer 51 thats awesome, But Jesus Christ they were woeful on the defensive end.

Reports Adelman is "no chance" to be coach next season (no surprises there). Izzo, Hoiberg and Van Gundy supposedly on the wish list but Saunders apparently wants to coach, which would make Messenger happy.

Kill me now. There is no chance the Wolves get this right.

 

[nufan]

Breaking new. Adelman is no longer the coach of the T-Wolves. Can't confirm fired or resigned (although one would assume resigned due to his wife health)

 

[stewie griffen]

Retired is the official word

He says he wants someone with a head coaching track record, either in college or the NBA, who will hold players accountable and command respect from the moment he takes the job. That list would seem to point to Saunders hiring a well-known coach to fill the opening created by Rick Adelman's retirement.

Hanging over the process is Kevin Love's uncertain future in Minnesota. Love can opt out of his contract after next season. That possibility could give coaches with several options pause when considering Minnesota.

It's also possible that Saunders will take the job himself. He did not rule that possibility out when asked on Monday.

Interviewed Hollins and waiting for a reply

Seems like Love is no chance to stay, Pray to god we can snag Lakers first round pick.

As long as we're not dumb enough to delude ourselves into thinking we can change his mind before FA, I'm okay with it.

 

[Messenger]

I guess this tallies with the rumour/urban myth that the Wolves will trade Love to the Lakers for their lottery pick.

If they could get Aaron Gordon out of this I'd take that. If they end up using a top 10 pick on McDermott or Julius Randle I'll be sad.

This Times one thousand

If he wants out, Don't waste another year, Sort the best deal and get it on

 

[SE_Blue]

Knowing us we'll trade him for a pile of s**t.

We better not trade him to GS for Lee/Barnes as is being suggested.

We could (And probably will) do worse

Wouldn't mind Barnes, However ild settle for Lakers/Celtic top 8 pick, Then prepare to suck hard for another year

Lee/Barnes is a terrible deal. Lee is 31 and is on an enormous contract. Barnes is still young, but sure as hell isn't what you'd want back when you're dealing your franchise player. Would demand Thompson from GS if we were to deal with them. They wouldn't want to give him up though.

Lakers can't offer a hell of a lot except Gasol and their high pick, but I bet that's what we end up settling for. Bet we end up getting Wes Johnson back too

Would be good if we could convince him to go to the Celtics, they've got better assets along with their picks they could trade us.

Gasol wont touch us. We have no need for him.

With Lee, i would want whatever he could possibly fetch from a contender then him, He's K Love light,

If we took Lee, we'd have to make them take Martin back. In no universe would I want to take on Lee's awful contract.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Going to apparently wait untill after the draft

Well then, Thats a kick in the stomach, Looking forward to the David Lee and Kevin martin combo
