Yup, looks like Zion picked up where he left off in college...should be a bunch of highlight reel plays...Other than Moss, Giannis is my favorite player to watch...

Giannis Antetokounmpo posted a monster line of 34 points, 17 rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block, one triple and five turnovers in Tuesday's 120-108 win over the Pelicans.Incredible. He gave Zion Williamson the business on both ends of the floor, and when the Pelicans made a late run to sneak back into the game, Giannis completely took over. We take him for granted sometimes but the lines he puts up are just absurd -- in the last 10 seasons, only DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis and Karl-Anthony Towns have posted 34+ points, 17+ rebounds, 6+ dimes and 1+ blocks in a single game.

Not a T'Wolves guy, Barr? The minimal amount of optimism I have left is the fact that they may have two top-5 picks this draft. On the other end of that, but do i hope they dont screw things up like they did in 2009. I'd take Anthony Edwards, Wiseman, or Cole Anthony for two of those picks...if possible.

the wolves traded Wiggins,  a 2021 first and a 2022 second for D Russell.    Towns better be a happy man now.

EDIT:  apparently the Wolves also get Jacob Evans and Omari Spellman,  who ever the hell they are.

where is the wolves second top five pick going to come from?  I can see that they are working very hard on their own pick being in the top 5, but what other first rounder do they have?

I thought Atlanta their first round pick for Covington but it looks like its Brooklyns so itll be mid teens. Should have top 5-7 and then top teens

Nope. Grew up in Chicago as a Vikings, Cubs, Bulls, and Blackhawks fan. In 72 we moved to Milwaukee. Dad said I needed to follow at least one of the local teams. 

Just think, I could have been an obnoxious packers fan.

Yeah i read one of the Woj Bombs too quickly but hey, at least its still two first round picks. Get a PG and either a big man or shooter with that other pick...just happy that contract is no longer the Wolves to deal with

I am all in on what Rosas is trying to do. Wiggins is not a winner and that contract is absolutely brutal in a small market where it's hard to get good FA. Twolves really need to hit with their first round picks this year and Culver needs to learn how to shoot the ball. With that being said, maybe Rosas, Towns, and DLoading can recruit another quality FA to go alongside them? One can only hope

Wow, talk about gutting a team and doing it literally overnight!

Crazy, hard to even fathom.

I applaud Rosas for flushing the turds...

Now Rosas just needs to figure out how to get Devin Booker to come to the Timberwolves...  him, KAT, and Russell are best bros and have wanted to play together for awhile.  This could get interesting...

I agree on some of those guys, but I like Covington and Gorgui,  they played hard at both ends of the floor.   Wiggins could score but he was such a diva and was often a huge liability on the court both defensively as well as offensively.   I will be curious to see how they handle Lil Flip in light of having his team shredded half way through the season.
