You born and raised in Australia? Y are you interested in the wolves? JC lol cuz last year was maybe our best year other then 20 yrs ago for one season. Were a dumpster fire of an organization 93% of our whole existence! 😂😢
I believe he meant step back record wise if it meant some of the young guys got experience playing earlier in the season. But because of the experience by the time the playoffs came around some of the younger guys can contribute more. He didn’t mean take a step back overall. Half step back in regular season but half step forward in the playoffs
yeah just to double down, you’re missing his point. He’s okay with a half step back in terms of regular season record, if that means vets like mike conley get more rest and the young guys get more chances to play and develop. This outcome would likely give the t-wolves their best chance to win the LOB
im just saying, you cant win a championship in the regular season. and if sacrificing a couple regular season games gives you more rested playoff rotation players, and added experience for the young guys. Has nothing to do with the playoffs 7-8 man rotations. He was also making the point as a year or two from now, all of a sudden the players you refused to play need to step up when the bench starts moving on for one reason or another, you have already planned ahead with said experience.
@@stockey9183the problem with this take is a step back in our record could put us in a play in spot. The West is to deep. Spurs and Memphis will be in the mix this year. Rockets were playing better at the end of the year and the Kings/Pels both improved. We don’t want to make things harder then they need to be and can’t afford to waste legs/mins in a play in game.
@@dajuice7030so youd rather they waste them playing games vs the pistons in december? We're 100% playing those games and id rather limit some of the veterans for those games that they're guranteed to play than have them all try to play 82 to possibly avoid the play-in
You can’t say we are worse then last year because of Kyle to ingles change you gotta realize the young players we have and the experience they all just got last year is going to make the whole team better this coming year
Let's not put so much pressure on Rob and TJ... Let them develop and fit in to their roles. Last thing we need to happen is too much expectations and hype where it could backfire
My second comment here, If PJ Dozier makes it to the regular season on the roster. And he stays healthy. He could be just as awesome of a minimum value as Joe Ingles IMO
What Kyle doesn’t realize is a half step back in the west is a play in team. We would drop to 7th with how packed the west is. Kyle was a -36 total in the playoffs this year and was only plus in 4 of the 16 games.
TSJ will be ahead of Dillingham in the pecking order....in year 1. You may not like it, but they WILL try to keep that top defensive spot. TSJ at 6'6" can give you more offense, while not being a total defensive liability. Imo TSJ will end up being one of the best late pick values we will ever get. And by playoff time, TSJ will be the 2nd guy off the bench, I think he is that good!!!
Wolves were top 5 in true shooting/efg% most of the year last year. Our bigger problem was turnover %. That is the biggest reason for our 17th ranked offense. Not having a secondary playmaker to create his shot behind ant hurt us a little last year. We threw ant a lot of grenades late in the shot clock which led to turnovers. Shooting will help with that, but dillingham will provide playmaking too which is a bigger thing for us imo.
Love the show, but time to retire the Barkley intro... it is louder than the show, and always turns heads in the office.... it was fun during the run... my 2 cents
Love you Kyle, however there will be no stepping back. The competitive 7 guys will not allow this. The great thing about a winning organization & culture you don’t have to play guys because like the Wolves used to be, in a losing culture. This goes back to the whole Rudy trade. To pull up young guys into winning like Ant, Jayden, Naz. Like wise with Rob & TJ
Joe Ingles can play. He has been working under multiple managers through several years, and knows the game from several points of experience. Just a little better than Kyle.
I want Garza to be able to give Rudy and Kat nights off. Would love to see give these guys days off on back to backs or games heading into a long break to give them rest. Rudy playing in the Olympics he needs nights off.
Kevin Love /OJ Mayo trade seemed terrible and didnt make sense. Wolves only good player at the time played the same pisition, Al Jefferson, OJ was thought to be a cant miss scoring guard with Muscle. But K-Love was a monster for the Wolves. Too bad they miffed on every other lottery pick while he was here.
Cost of living in Bay area is gonna be a wake up call for Slomo after playing for San Antonio, Memphis, and Minnesota. Might have been better off making the vet min here. 😅
Joe was useless in Orlando he's old now and is horrible on defense. We shouldn't play him, much at all. Let the younger guys play and get those reps, that would be the best thing to do.
Useless is a strong word for a guy who shot over 400 from 3 with 3 assists over minimum min. He comes on ready to shoot and and I.q and passing ability that will really help rob coming off of pin downs and screens. Defense may lack but he’s 6’9 and Will be at the 4 so it should be fine especially since him and naz are gonna stretch the bell out of the D on the other end

Id argue the difference between Joe and Kyle's offense is greater than the difference between their defense

I’m an Englishman that started following the wolves after the butler trade with Philly and found skor north shortly after 👌🏼🐺
NBA Summer League prediction:
Terrence Shannon Jr. is the best Wolves player coming out of this squad this tournament.
Why would you be okay taking a step backward when clearly the franchise is all in on a championship. You don’t pay Rudy that money to not try and win

I look forward to this podcast every week!
Let's not put so much pressure on Rob and TJ... Let them develop and fit in to their roles. Last thing we need to happen is too much expectations and hype where it could backfire
Clark the dark horse
honestly, i want to see a naz, kat, luka lineup and just launch some 3s. could you imagine? lolol.
I got Random Wolf before these two!
Rubio needs to come back this year! Would be great to see him with this squad

The cap reality limits the moves the team can make. Moves will be on the margins. This is one of the moves they could make.

You know that dallas, okc, denver, and at least 3 east teams will sweep the wolves if gobert and jaden average 5 points
I’ll be looking for ya Kyle at the Wolves summer league game Sunday!
$9 million in the bay is not so great when taxes and cost of living are figured in.
He shouldn’t play more than like 12 minutes a game
If he's good and makes the team better, let him start. 😂
Thinking there's 3 guys on the summer league roster make contributions
Joe Ingles can play. He has been working under multiple managers through several years, and knows the game from several points of experience. Just a little better than Kyle.
I want Garza to be able to give Rudy and Kat nights off. Would love to see give these guys days off on back to backs or games heading into a long break to give them rest. Rudy playing in the Olympics he needs nights off.
Highly disagree. Joe is needed. The wolves offense was nonexistent off the bench. We need the shooting more than we need Kyle’s defense.
Kevin Love /OJ Mayo trade seemed terrible and didnt make sense. Wolves only good player at the time played the same pisition, Al Jefferson, OJ was thought to be a cant miss scoring guard with Muscle.

Wolves. Too bad they miffed on every other lottery pick while he was here.
Cost of living in Bay area is gonna be a wake up call for Slomo after playing for San Antonio, Memphis, and Minnesota. Might have been better off making the vet min here. 😅
Haha. I think he's still raking in more even with the wild cost in the bay area.
He'll be fine
You do realize he has already made millions in his career right lol. They aren't gonna tax the money he already has again..lol
@@hitman9198 Thats what you think. 🤑
Propeety tax and sales tax do. Cost of living is not just taxes though.
First 🐺
We certainly got tougher ... Ingles is one of the dirtiest players I've ever seen.
Was hoping Kyle got replaced, dammit
Grizzlies are gonna have a top 4 record
Good point. They have a solid team when they are all playing. I'd say 6 is more likely.
Joe was useless in Orlando he's old now and is horrible on defense. We shouldn't play him, much at all. Let the younger guys play and get those reps, that would be the best thing to do.
