I realize that's the same thing to the Championships Are All That Matters crowd. It's not the same thing to me. also, with a tanking/rebuilding plan, you kinda need hope and you kinda need at least 1 player to build around. who is that ? this soon to be bust draft pick ? Cameron Payne ? There is absolutely nothing to give you even a glimmer of hope for the future. I can stomach a 20 win team if they have a solid plan and at least some young players to get excited about |

Rick doesn't seem to want to acknowledge that people are pissed about this specific trade, not just simply the fact that they traded Butler to rebuild. |

(I also know who Adrian Wojnarowski is.) I wish we were having this conversation at a bar. I believe there is zero chance you could name 9 guys on the 76ers, Kings, or Hornets without Googling it first. But fair enough, I guess I was wrong. Like I said, I thought you described yourself that way. |

Let me revise it to 7. 9 would tax me on several teams. But I mean...how many casual NBA fans are naming Robert Covington as an example? I just can't watch the TNT Thursday double header every week. I'm casual in that regard. |

Every NBA fan probably does. |

I loved Kobe and cheered for Willie Mays in a Wizards jersey but I will always bleed red and black. |

If they didn't sign Gorgui Deng to an extension (4 years, $64 million) at the beginning of last season the Wolves would have enough money to sign a max guy. Imagine Towns, Wiggins, Butler, and Blake Griffin. They still have a lot of money though after waiving Pekovic. |

Blake is good when he's on the court. Health would be the only concern in signing him to a big deal. |

They have over $20M to spend and if they dump Aldrich it would be $30M. |

Some team will throw him a max deal this summer and regret it. He's still somewhat useful, but about five years away from being signed by the Bulls as part of their youth recruitment in 2022. |
