Is it me or are the Timberwolves looking pretty talented?

He wasn't bad developing Brooks, Lowry, Landry, Patpat and Budinger

As long as you follow Rick's rules you will develope and you will shine, be an idiot like TWill, you rot forever on the bench.

I think he will do just fine in Minny, though I don't think Anthony Randolph will see the floor much because his attitude reminds me of TWilly

 

Exactly this. He should get 15-20 mpg for sure

 

Your positions were way off. Love won't be playing center. Randolph is a PF/C, not a PF/SF.

 

Patpat got benched for over half a season, which was my one main gripe about RA's style, he tends to have favorites and gives them major mins regardless of how they're playing.

Personally I don't think its just AR who'll be benched, Beasley will also get benched, and either Darko or Pekovic. With the arrival of Bonzi Wells, I think Wes Johnson might be benched as well. However on the bright side, I think Rubio and Love will flourish in his system, and maybe even Derrick WIlliams.

 

You're arguing against the wrong point.

I'm replying to the point that "when was the last time RA coached a team as bad as the wolves", in which I said us of last year. We were pretty successful with the roster that we had wouldn't you say? Mediocre record for sure, but nonetheless a winning record from a scrappy team. Wolves are much better than us of last year.

And Rick not playing young players is not true. Brooks, Landry, Lowry, Budinger, Patterson?

Unless you're specifically referring to young dumbasses, then I agree.

 

Minny is stacked with talent, they remind me of this year's Houston Texans, drafting at the top for so long, eventually pays off.

I think they are right there in the payoff stage.

Alderman strikes again lol

talkhoops Zach Harper
RT @JerryZgoda: Boy, was I wrong on my lineup guesses: looks like 1st team tonite is Luke, Wes, Love, Darko and Beasley

 

They are stacked because they got lucky in being the third wheel in big trades.

 

its funny they have all this young talent and you know Alderman will go with the "Vets" I mean Bonzi Wells lol

 

Khan is not a bad GM, he just took a longer view than most people realized.

No, there's no mistake that's he's awful. Love was drafted by McHale. He did accidently gain some pieces but at high prices and still living off "potential".

 

If it turns around for him, then people will have to recognize what he has done IN A SMALL market.

Yea, it's not like Brooks, Landry or Wafer got playing time with us.

 

I can't believe people think Rick Adelman isn't a fantastic coach.

People are talking about how the Kings and Timberwolves have so much talent and yet the Rockets won 20 games more than them.

In this generation it goes Phil Jackson, Gregg Popovich and then Rick Adelman

 

I honestly dont know where you get your info from

 

Agree. They could be better than expected.

 

Exactly the lineup I predicted for the start of the season, Adelman has no need to play Rubio or Williams right now.

 

Trust me, he will play them, just off the bench at first.

You can expect Adelman to sit Beasley most of the season!

 

I screwed up by forgetting to write "play them as starters, of course they'll get decent playing time off the bench.
