Shall we start organising the Derrick Rose welcome party?

Nope, sounds like Teague is a done deal. 3/$58M. Not stoked.

Seriously feels like a slight step back wards. Or to the side at least. I don't think he's any better than Rubio.

Maybe Ricky wasn't selling any jerseys.. Although remember his comments about leaving if we didn't make the play offs? Might of been mutual

If Rubio can sustain his post-ASB form, it's a downgrade, but a better fit.

If he can't, it's a marginal upgrade, and a better fit.

That said, it's a marginal upgrade for 5 million per year. 5 million that could have helped the bench, which remains our biggest issue.

Being used to Rubio i'm not looking forward to watching Teague defend

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

The bench is even more of a worry now, and with only $13M to split across six roster spots, I can't see it getting much better.

PG: Teague / Jones
SG: Wiggins
SF: Butler
PF: Dieng / Bjelica
C: Towns / Patton / Aldrich

I mean, Taylor could always pay luxury ta---nope, was never getting through that one with a straight face.

PJ Tucker and CJ Miles pls. Fill the rest with trash, attach something to Aldrich to move him if necessary.

From an outsiders view Teague seems a much better fit than Rubio. Watched teams sag off Rubio last year not respecting his shot. They won't do that now. Teague also is super quick, which should help significantly in pushing the ball up the floor and getting fast break points. The biggest winners so far this off season are the Timberwolves by a mile.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Rumoured to be front runners for Millsap alongside Denver. Would be extraordinary if we could end up with Teague/Wiggins/Butler/Millsap/Towns. Would likely take another move (Aldrich/Dieng) though.

 

[cannot]

Teague/Wiggins/Butler/Millsap/Towns.

wolves > warriors ...

 

[Upgrayedd]

Would have to move Dieng/Aldrich. And hope we. Get some second rate ring chasere

Taj shot 100% from 3 last season, glad Thibs is finally bringing in a shooter to space the floor

 

[Upgrayedd]

Please change thread name to timberbulls.

Happy with the signings so far, going to be a new look next season!

 

[mickelboy182]

Your starters played huge minutes last season, I shudder to think what those numbers will be this season.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Pros:

• Defence immediately looks a lot better
• Dieng to the bench where he can play centre, and we can play to his strengths offensively
• As a by-product of the above, less strain on Towns to play huge minutes
• Great leader; will be excellent for Towns in particular
• Bye bye Aldrich

Cons:

• 2/28
• Floor spacing will be diabolical
• Pretty much nothing left to bolster the bench
• Still 0 backup wings

Teague/Wiggins/Butler/Gibson/Towns
Jones/?/?/Bjelica/Dieng

 

[Upgrayedd]

I think it all hangs on Wiggins, He NEEDS to be hitting the 3's at 38%. It opens a lot up. Defensively we look tough however

 

[captain cotch 9]

Are we getting a new jersey in 17/18?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Three phrases I will certainly utter while watching the Wolves next season:

1. "Man I miss Rubio."
2. "Man I miss LaVine."
3. "Man I miss Kevin Martin."

One I certainly won't:

1. "I miss Payne."

Yes.

 

[Squibbs]

Wolves looking nice for next season. Unfortunately the West is ridiculously stacked, wouldn't be surprised if you cracked around 50 wins only to get a 6th seed. Definitely gonna be one of my favourite teams to watch next season

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Nick Young and Gerald Green two guys we're supposedly showing interest in.
