    I love that the Wolves are still underdogs
    Rob looked very comfortable in the game
    yeah he’s small but I seen him do some big boy muscle moves to get to the basket 💪🏾
    I think he’s gonna be like Jordan Addison in that people worried about their frame but when you’re so skilled at what you do it doesn’t matter
    I think defenders will underestimate him too so it’s going to be even better when Rob gets stronger
    TSJ is explosive

      For sure, Dillingham looked great. Kid is instant offense. TJ is crazy athletic. Minott looked good. They need to make NBA games ten minutes longer so these guys can get some minutes!

      Rob definitely needs to try to workout with Kyrie to start getting more of a bag of tricks. Both smaller statures, would be fun if several years down the road he becomes like a diet Allen Iverson.

    Hilarious Vegas put the Knicks above the Wolves, that is pure big market bias. The amnesia that sets in with these so-called experts is a phenomenon I need explain to me. Kat gets traded and all of his shortcomings magically disappear. Amazing.

      Same with having the Lakers better chance to win the West (5th) after Wolves than the Kings, Grizzlies and Pelicans.
      Lakers have done very little to improve during the offseason and it’s hard for me to see them any better than 8th or 7th in the West. It’s completely the influence of appeasing large market betting.

    Getting Donte, Randle, Naz, Naw and a protected 1st for Kat is a great trade. What I haven’t seen people mention is the fact that Kat struggled with Minnesota fans and media. New York notoriously chews up and spits out players mentally

    Basically he replaces Slow Mo .As much I liked Anderson , Dante is way better upgrade both offense and defense. So wolves can massively better in that regard . Then you add the other rookies and we absolutely also improved our depth . We can basically run a second out there without missing a beat if anyone is in foul trouble

  • @ajroc1393
    @ajroc1393 2 дня назад +1

    I love what NAW brings but he shouldn't be asked to play point. We tried that multiple times last year and he just wasn't a guy who offense flowed through at a high level or even a mid level. Unless something has drastically changed DDV or Dillingham should be in that role.

    Listening to Judd talk, it’s 100% clear he knows nothing about Randle. He will start and play a lot of minutes and it 10x more of a black hole than KAT.
    He’s a good player but it seems like you guys don’t know anything about him and his style won’t be anything you like.

    Unless Gobert signs for a bargain, he's probably not coming back. More salary slashing and evolution of the strengths of this team are happening. Perhaps the 2026 and 2027 team are wing heavy, versatile shooters. That said, they are already sniffing around for a young 5. The Jesse Edwards signing is more of a signal of what they think their future needs are than the likely future solution at center.

      @@MultiWWill I've wondered about this and you make some valid points. I think it will come down to how well the team is doing when it comes to a team friendly deal. I can see that coming to fruition if he wants to win for real. 35 million is still a lot of money and would also be "team friendly". It will be interesting to see it play out.

    D.V. Will be a very helpful player and does good as Kat almost with his three point shooting. Dilly is small but he’s very mobile and should feed other players nicely. Ant maybe confused how all players jell and time will be needed but this team now realizes if one player is hurt for a while someone should be able to produce.

    I'm gonna say this again for everyone. Betting lines are NOT Vegas saying who they think will or won't win and who has the best chances. They are Vegas moving the lines to account for betting to balance the books so that sports books win no matter who wins. Yes they start with some influence of who they think is good, but they are most influenced by who they think people will bet on and then the bets that come in.
