Steph himself is arguably Top 10. For sure Top 15.

The San-Francisco Bay area is a HUGE MARKET.

ain’t no changing the timberwolves, david stern cursed them and when he passed he didn’t undue the curse essentially edging in stone for the rest of human history that minnesota will never be great again.

Facts

Let's be real. If the Warriors didn't put the right pieces around Steph, he would have been gone. Star players like Dirk who stay one team their entire career are by far the exception. Most of the other one team players had continuous success over their career. Just look at Giannis' comments recently. If Minnesota can put the right pieces, something they have failed to do for basically their entire history, Ant could be the true franchise superstar. If not, they may just be the next Wizards or Blazers in perpetual mediocrity.

It's that time of year...

@@AMHoops… and of a day ;) 🎉

might as well trade them now, then to just let them walk and get nothing back. it's just matter of time. no all-star caliber start is going to stick to a small market franchise for their whole career.

@@dtsec not whole career but its ruining the league, there are still stories like giannis bucks, jokic nuggets, no need for the 10th superstar for the lakers imo

@@beli722 well, then the franchise has to do a better job of 1) evaluating talent, 2) setting up the roster to build around that 1 or 2 all-star caliber player and 3) hire good staff to bring the most of out of these players in that short window. But as you already know, small markets teams typically don't handle these three very well. As mentioned in the video, Wolves made several bad trades. This will not only set the franchise back for years but AE will eventually will leave once he gets that max contract and you will barely be back to build a roster around him but why would AE wait for that. It all comes down to the coaching staff, manager(s), GMs and team owners that are not making the right decisions. Big market teams have a lot of room to work with even if they mess up but teams like Wolves, zero. That's why it's better to just start from scratch like the Thunder and let them develop together and be on the same page as far as their peak horizon. Wolves should just be thankful that they found AE. If I was the GM, I would get rid of everyone and get 1 or 2 really good players or start from scratch. Being mediocre is worse than being the worst team in the league.

All the talent not in NY or Chicago.

As a knicks fan I can reassure you that big talent has not been shipped to big markets in 10+ years. Miami legit the last big market to win a ring 10 years ago if we are not counting the bubble ring.

Exactly, here in the Philippines it's mostly Lakers nation since the 2000's because of Kobe. It's interesting to see how much influence Curry will be able to do after he retires.

They dropped the ball when they didn't bring up Mac Mclung from the G League.

Warriors are on the decline. Curry, at 35 yrs old, is still elite but on the decline. Klay is unraveling from being a 2nd option before to be just a third option or even a sixth man. Green is still ok but getting old. Wiggs is not the same but still solid as third option. Kuminga is their saviour and should play heavy minutes so that the Dubs will have continuity if Klay leaves. Poole trade was ok since he was a third option anyway. CP3 trade was bad because he's actually should be in the bench even in the Suns.

as someone in california. i never want to see teams on tv in slots where my local team belongs. teams only deserve local tv coverage. the west coast doesnt give a shit about the east coast teams

Why he is often wrong

Cwolves 🤡🐺😂😂😂

Timberwolves are so stupid they signed Matt Ryan all because he made that last second shot from Lakers. Dude is a complete bum and belong in the street

McDaniels plays most of his minutes at PF now

This channel won’t tell you anything except for the dude running it is on hella aderall.

Fr, this dudes a weirdo acting like OKC is getting too much attention. If anything were emit getting enough, Shai was 5th in MVP voting.

i say yall should wait for a PG to appear via trade maybe Trae or Luka

Bridges is really good too

Dillon the Villain might be too lol

If he was, Minnesota wouldn't have lost to Denver in the playoffs...

@@ColdHoops Denver had someone named Nikola Jokic

They already did by signing Gobert 😂

I mean, they did. But still

I don’t think it’s even cause that I think there managed terribly they have had plenty of talent over the years. Just a bad ran organization from top to bottom

​@@andrewstokes6859yeah the gobert trade is a prime example of this

@@andrewstokes6859Good point, and I feel more bad for the Timberwolves fans more than the Timberwolves players who despite losing alot of regular season games still earn their millions of dollars. I agree with you though. They need some smart, new management. So does the Charlotte Hornets franchise

KAT is paid at a #1 guy rate - However i feel his attitude is far from that - Cant imagine many teams giving away substantial assets for that.

If they can just trade KAT for an all star calibre PG or Wing there roster would fit together so much better. KAT could become something special offensively still so even with his contract I feel like he should have enough value to bring an all star level player back but he just doesn't seem like a winning player. Same way even though he's an amazing scorer I did not want my team to trade for Harden, I wouldn't want KAT either.

😂😂😂

Yeah...."The Next MJ" = no one playing right now, because any version of the real MJ in his 1st - 9th season could likely be averaging 40+ today.

@@shaft9000ant just turned 22 🤦🏾‍♂️

Nah fr. Personally, I’d add Moody too. Porter jr. gone, and Jamychal Green gone. Quit bringing people in to eat up their experience minutes.

He has no idea what to do with a true big man it seems

Yeah but bulls also did have great management and Scottie was on a cheap contract for most of his career. So it isn’t all MJ. People forget that

Wolves management is shit compared to Jordan’s bulls. They aren’t building a contender around edwards and have traded way to much for gobert who is 30

@@benserkowski4663 Point is, neither Scottie or Jordan left, they stayed loyal to the organisation. I feel like, more players need to do that, that's how championship teams are built, is all I'm saying. Anyway, give Ant 2 seasons, and I feel like he will lead the TWolves to a conference final at least. but, yeah, we gotta wait and see, I just feel like this "great player on a trash team so they should get traded thing" is kind of lame. Just my opinion. I like to see teams and players overcome. And I like the idea of brotherhood and loyalty in sports. But to each their own.

MJ did that with Scottie Pippen and Phil Jackson don't forget. How is Minn going to build around Ant if they can't get FA to sign below market and they suck at drafting/developing talent.

@@lorenzozampighi3646 yeah, Phil Jackson is literally a game changer. I guess I'm just having wishful thinking about Ant staying with the TWolves, cus, he got that extension and that's where he is gonna be for a minute. I just wanna see some real underdog story type shit in the new season.

Was about to post something similar but will just say you mostly hit the nail on the head. Absolutely TC knew the West is going through Jokic/Nuggets for the foreseeable future and made the Gobert trade for that reason. The Wolves gave as much or more trouble to the Nuggets as the Suns or Lakers and all gave more than the Heat. AE was great. But the Nuggets are way more than Jokic and, barring injury, should handle anything thrown at them the next few years.

Lmao KAT is weak af and a loser. Okc would. Never waste assets on him 😂😂😂

minnesota isnt in misery??

Oh have the tables have turned….enjoy those late round picks bum 😹😹😹💀🤡

What assets do the Heat to magically make this happen? You would need to gut your roster and send multiple number ones

@@nenevz2948 i guess AFTER just skipped by you huh. As in end of his contract 💰

@@KhidJ1 I guess you’re right. I really don’t know the contracts for Ant or Jimmy. Or how much high-level mileage Jimmy has left. It was almost sort of a joke about every fan base that assembles great teams in their heads without thinking about pesky things like the CBA, money, team assets

Nah yer just dumb AF for believing these clip’s 🤣

😂

I think they might need to get rid of KAT because his attitude with a lot of stuff is not good for a locker room And I agree with you. Rudy was actually quite Good. Their interior defense Improved several fold and there's some rising stars in their perimeter defense as well. The offense is a little shaky though

I just think there's a problem from the bottom up with their team construction. Idk man. Its probably just my personal bias but I REALLY tried to give a shit about the Twolves these past 2 seasons but no matter how exciting some of those guys are, namely Ant, others are like watching fuckin paint dry and it leads to these weird inconsistencies in their energy. Its like half the roster want that Miami dog attitude and the other half wanna be the spurs and play straight up clean team basketball

Yes I definitely see how you feel that way. But thanks goodness there's going to be new management. I just hope things are at least better
