@jfro2323 @xaviercross1971 @SamQuinnCBS What’s the point of missing the playoffs years on end to hope to get back to this point without a top 10 player?

@xaviercross1971 @jfro2323 @SamQuinnCBS They also couldn’t afford him and keep everyone else. We’re talking in circles. Hated seeing KAT go, but they’re not shelling out 2nd apron money for half a decade. Question: if the Wolves had traded for Giannis would they be a Finals team?

@jfro2323 @xaviercross1971 @SamQuinnCBS Trading Ant now defeats the purpose of keeping anyone on the team, including Ayo. Once you trade Ant, volunteer to relocate, because even betting on AJ to be as good as Ant in a reasonable timeframe is a bad bet.

@xaviercross1971 @jfro2323 @SamQuinnCBS Randle was not a #2 anyone believed in except the coach. They will fail because the guys they think are #2's are not good enough, but those are also guys Ant co-signs and wouldn't want gone. They chose a lane yesterday.

@xaviercross1971 @jfro2323 @SamQuinnCBS I think that's only realistic if Naz and Jaden (his friends) fall flat on their faces. He's gonna sign the supermax before he considers asking out.

@xaviercross1971 @jfro2323 @SamQuinnCBS no one asked him to trade into that slot given the few assets he had. Good process, bad execution. In hindsight he was better off staying where he was on draft night.

@xaviercross1971 @jfro2323 @SamQuinnCBS part of why they still need one is because Tim Connelly struck out on a top 10 pick. The talent evaluation has not been good and that's a big reason why he was brought here.

@xaviercross1971 @jfro2323 @SamQuinnCBS without the Gobert trade, there wouldn't have been an incentive to trade for NAW and Conley. If KAT is still the center, Kessler's just a backup while KAT and Naz give up 120 ppg. Also, we can question TC's drafting.

@jfro2323 @xaviercross1971 @SamQuinnCBS if they don't make those trades early, they might not have ever made another WCF. Unless we can go back and pretend one of those playoff seasons coulda been us getting Wemby instead, not sure what would have gotten them to the WCF regardless.

@xaviercross1971 @jfro2323 @SamQuinnCBS they never had the assets the Thunder had. The smartest talent evaluator was arguably Rosas and he got fired for something he caused. Presti also had the benefit to tank for a couple of years. Nobody here had that equity.

@xaviercross1971 @jfro2323 @SamQuinnCBS but would they have gone as far as they have without him? As someone who wouldn't have done the trade, the answer is no.

@xaviercross1971 @jfro2323 @SamQuinnCBS they were never winning a championship. That's the reality of this team. If championship expectations are the goal, this isn't the franchise to pick, hate to say it. Them having the best stretch in franchise history is worth hanging their hat on.
