  1. Twolves picked up Gobert to dump Kat for all the picks back and more help for Edwards and Gobert. This is a rebuild move without tearing it all down. KAT is soft. They need a true pg and an alpha vet. Gobert is an insurance policy to move on from KAT.

  2. They need to trade KAT for some picks in the next years. Maybe wait for ANT to get back on track and trade him too. The roster is horrible right now. But maybe with good draft picks, they can make something better… Or maybe not and be like the Kings 😅

  3. 6:21 It is basically Stanley Johnson and THT for PatBev and add the top-5 protected pick in 2029 and Leandro Bolmaro in that Gobert deal. I know it just represent on the important assets but hey, they basically got 6 players and 5 future picks just for Gobert.

  4. Get him to Dallas. We need another ball handler that can create his own shot. Dallas plays team defense anyway so they can make him work on it.

  5. Dlo is just too soft right now !! This season he should be stepping up like he is just becoming a average passing first guard instead of using his physical gifts to become a scoring guard and sacrifice in putting efforts in defense.

    Too soft dlo! Step upp!!

  6. 0:50 how do you find stats that show how a player played with and without a certain teammate? I'm trying to work on a data visualization project that uses those kinds of stats.

  7. DBLo is toxic to the TWolves, a team thats striving to be a relevant team ‼️
    And so is Towns.

  8. Karl Anthony Towns in my opinion we should try to trade… I hate to say it.. but they should build around Edwards and not Towns…

    But again, Casey is a f**king hater

  9. 6:48 DLo is anything but a limited offensive player, though. If anything, being crafty in the offensive end is his bread and butter–and he's a proven closer; ain't that what the ice in my veins celebration is all about?

    I think what happened here is as the years went on in his T'Wolves stint, he lost the touch since the main offensive focus are KAT and Ant. Add feeding Gobert the ball just enough to let him finish inside in 1 sec via a dunk or alley to make him effective is another thing for him to think of. I think he has lost touch with who he is as a player. He was relegated to a pass first mentality guard in a time in the league where point guards are given the go signal to let it rip if a chance presents itself.

    As much as I wanted for Minny to be his home, sadly, he might need to go to rediscover his game, a la Lauri Markkanen

  10. D Russell needs to lift weights seriously, get some new pr's on squat, bench, deadlift, pullup and overhead press. Retool himself into something the Heat would want, ala Tim Hardaway. If he took his body composition seriously he'd have enough momentum to justify his talent.

  11. All the talent in the world means nothing if he isn’t willing to put in the work it takes to unlock and maximize that talent. So many players today have loads of talent but once they get their bag they just don’t seem as interested in winning. The Timberwolves have multiple players that hate to lose but are ok with it. They aren’t motivated to overcome their problems or to use it to drive themselves to be better players. They are ok with losing and have accepted it as part of the game because that’s now the culture of the Timberwolves organization,unfortunately. They have to blow it up and not only move D-lo and Kat basically everyone but Ant and Gobert. Rebuild from the ground up front office and all.

  12. The Gobert trade was bad in many ways, the price was way too high, it doesn’t fit and every gm asks for 6 picks

  13. As a wolves fan, I've seen a lot of losing basketball….but dlo is the worst thing I've ever seen. His talent is all world, but his effort and lack of awareness of how to play WINNING basketball is embarrassing. He has to go, he is an absolute team killing, Stat padding, me first clueless jack ass of a player.

  14. Please do more research on Michael Beasley before you disrespect the situation he was going through at that time, the fact he even was even there that day was a true showing of how much dedication he had for the game

  15. Its the Nba you sending picks is not always the end you can always get some picks back further down the line when you have assets, this is Antman's team now when this experiment does not go to plan they can trade Kat for a player and some picks and rebuild around ant, it's not the end of the world.

  16. SeatGeek is way more expensive than Ticketmaster you might as well just get your tickets from the fucking Arena

  17. What is $20 going to get me one beer at the game come on man y'all got to come with better incentives and those tickets aren't no $150 those are $700 tickets behind the bench

  18. If you want to be a winning team then Dlo should not be a starter or finishing games.. Could make for a really solid 6th man.

  19. hear me out. when he said someone to replace d-lo and play defense, i immediately thought of pat bev. the lakers are also disfunctional. they would definitely accept that. maybe they would even give a 2nd rounder too

  20. You made the argument the wolves are terrible at picking in the draft so why shouldn’t they trade their picks when they’re going to fuck up those picks anyway?

  21. He saw this and just dropped 15 in the first quarter against Cleveland
