    did he? i must of missed that bc that really doesn't make much sense when he's a wing.

    The Timberwolves already have two-time All-Star 7-footer Karl-Anthony Towns at center, but Bell has an opportunity to earn a starting role at power forward after Taj Gibson agreed to sign with the New York Knicks and Dario Saric was traded to the Phoenix Suns, per Wojnarowski.

    this is what minny sold him on more than likely

    Great strategy, let all the good players get signed and then say you are willing to use the large exception. Very sneaky! Watch the big man just be Nene again, who I love, but we need a different type of center.

    Yeah, sorry, this one makes no sense. The role issue baffles me. He signed for the minimum on a team with an all-star big man instead of one that employs a switching scheme and has a center that is very possibly a trade chip? No, I don't buy it.

    When they traded Saric they did it with the thought of playing FAST and have RoCo as the PF.

    If the Rockets can get Noah Vonleh for Vet Min I would be happy with that addition.

    RHJ and Stanley Johnson also for Vet Min.

    Cheick Diallo for Vet Min is worth a look.

    Would love to get a lot of high potential young players on the cheap like this. Very intriguing. Would be happy with 2 of these 4 guys but it seems we are never in on high upside guys. Only crappy vets like MCW.

    Scraping the barrel two offseason in a row. We’ll have our pick of free agents right?

    I feel bad for Austin Rivers, this team will not win 50 wins this upcoming season, guy really still thinks we’re still a contender, we weren’t even a contender last year lmao.

    Very true. Thing is, Zach Lowe floated that come Dec 15, Minny could look to trade RoCo for DLo. And that would piss me off if GSW got RoCo.

    I think that's very likely. Hate it. Love Covington and will HATE seeing Steph/Klay/Roco/Draymond/Looney holy hell.

    It looks like Cousins can be had on the cheap. He is a low risk high reward position. He will be highly motivated to prove his value again and being yr 2 since his injury should steadily improve. His 3pt shooting would be a plus for us. Defensively ugly but can get buckets and boards.

    i think minny needs to break up one way or another at some point. it just doesnt work over there with what they have. too much time as gone by to not have atleast a good outlook

    All we do is shoot 3s....
    Why can't we get 3 point specialist like SCurry, Korver, DGreen, Troy Daniels, etc.

    I’ll bet when the offseason is done, 50$ to the tipjar.

    Morey’s been terrible lately but there’s like 5% hope that i still have that he pulls something out of his ass.

    Someone should have taken Looney while GSW's hands were tied. They are HARD CAPPED. They gave Looney EVERY LAST NICKLE they had. It could have easily been trumped.

    Woj has reiterated that there is no market for Demarcus Cousins, not even MLE offers ... why are we not all over this?
