No, you ****ing spoiled moron. You're a Denver Bronco fan post-Manning. You don't know what bad actually is. You can do this, "Blah blah that's because I expect more from my team" game to defend yourself, but the actual truth is you just have no clue whatsoever about the talent differences between the top and bottom of the NBA. For comparison's sake, I'll give you the roster of my Timberwolves. Take away the top two players (which is the stipulation you put in for the Rockets). Sooo... KAT and somebody else. Probably Wiggins, but you could also go for Covington. Either way, this is what you're left with: 31 Keita Bates-Diop SF 23 6' 9" 229 lbs Ohio State $838,464 8 Jerryd Bayless PG 30 6' 3" 200 lbs Arizona $8,575,916 8 Isaiah Canaan PG 27 6' 0" 200 lbs Murray State $1,512,601 33 Robert Covington SF 28 6' 9" 225 lbs Tennessee State $10,464,092 9 Luol Deng SF 33 6' 9" 237 lbs Duke $1,512,601 5 Gorgui Dieng C 29 6' 11" 252 lbs Louisville $15,170,787 67 Taj Gibson PF 33 6' 9" 232 lbs USC $14,000,000 1 Tyus Jones PG 22 6' 2" 196 lbs Duke $2,444,053 20 Josh Okogie SG 20 6' 4" 212 lbs Georgia Tech $2,160,720 25 Derrick Rose PG 30 6' 3" 200 lbs Memphis $1,512,601 36 Dario Saric PF 24 6' 10" 223 lbs - $2,526,840 0 Jeff Teague PG 30 6' 2" 195 lbs Wake Forest $19,000,000 3 Jared Terrell SG 23 6' 3" 227 lbs Rhode Island - 43 Anthony Tolliver PF 33 6' 8" 250 lbs Creighton $4,750,000 32 Karl-Anthony Towns C 23 7' 0" 248 lbs Kentucky $7,839,435 22 Andrew Wiggins SF 23 6' 8" 194 lbs Kansas $25,467,250 12 C.J. Williams And that's hardly the worst roster in the NBA. It ain't good... believe me. But it's not as good as what the Rockets have, and it's still probably around the 20-30th percentile in terms of talent. |

Unlike Magic, LeBron is going to make a good GM after his playing days are over. Just destroyed Giannis. |

After Irving carried his ass to a title, he knew he had to pick him up again.

He picked all the potential free agents that he desperately needs to go to the Lakers before his career is done. Durant, Irving, Leonard, Thompson, and Davis for good measure.

Your post regarding Wiggins was in June of 2018. The extension was before the 2017-2018 season. Nice hindsight, but your foresight was complete shit. Last edited by Rudy tossed tigger's salad; 02-07-2019 at 08:08 PM.. |

And where did I ****ing say I was in favor of extending Wiggins? Your two quotes you dug up only quote me as saying I didn't want to acquire more draft picks when we had just gotten out of a tanking phase. And as for the "we have Wiggins and KAT extensions to worry about," that was because Glen Taylor had actively talked about those being priorities. I had hope Wiggins would eventually stop sucking, but I certainly didn't want him extended on a max contract. That's a far cry from the optimism I had for him when Lebron traded him here. |

Ingram is so bad. There's no reason for the Pelicans to have wanted any of these scrubs and they unsurprisingly didn't.
