It was a gamble. We needed shooting and hoped for improvement. It didn't happen.


It doesn’t take a genius to see that Hawk wasn’t going to be worth 7 million and if you needed shooting you can find it for cheaper than that. Everyone on this board even said it was a bad idea at the time. That’s not a gamble, that’s poor decision making

Let's not pretend that Peavy was that good, or that 2nds matter. This was best case scenario and not that bad of a salary dump trade at all. Multiple posters thought we would have to give up much more


It’s the fact that it was an unforced error. shite like this adds up over time. Especially when you have someone like Dumars in charge

Money she just spent to buy another Poydras office building


Better than using that money to defend pedophile priests like she usually does
Everyone called that we would end up spending assets to dump Hawk the second we picked up his option

It’s a terrible in state year. Worst in a long time

He can’t pass at all

Who’s the GOAT #7?

Personally I’m taking Jonathan Giles over all of them

He knows that: 1) He will be in a contract year 2) He will have a greenlight to chuck 3) we will be bad He is going to absolute try to score score score to get that next deal


Yeah, I’m concerned he’s going to be more worried about getting his rather than playing team basketball

Timberwolves sold for 4.5 billion

The reason this is notable is that the wolves are routinely ranked near the bottom of franchise value rankings along with the Pels and Grizzlies. This probably puts the value of the Pels franchise at around 4 billion.

I'm not really that sure we should be ahead of Sacramento either. This franchise is a fricking dumpster fire.


It’s pretty funny that both franchises suck because of ownership but each are at opposite ends of the spectrum. The kings owner is too involved and has his hands in everything including making the GM make awful trades or draft players that he likes. The Pels have an owner that could not give less of shite about the team and refuses to invest the requisite money required to be good
This is going to maybe be the worst attendance season in the history of this franchise. There is absolutely zero buzz or excitement around the city for this team.

Wow. I did not see that coming.


Neither did she
Don’t see 30 wins on that schedule
I’m super high on Tyson but for him to already be getting hurt is very disappointing considering his injury history.

This. We are just the most poorly constructed team in the league. We have MULTIPLE players that teams would love to have contribute to their team, but our group together is dirt.


We’re also an expensive team. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team so expensive that can’t shoot, rebound, or defend at even an average NBA level.
This is a solid contract, not great, not bad.
Mathurin is not good. All he does is score at OK efficiency. He doesn’t defend, he doesn’t pass, he rebounds only OK. He’s a completely empty calorie player.

Total Dumars move. This will lock us into 30 wins for the foreseeable future
quote:

Which the Clippers would immediately match, then we would have to give up a 1st to get them to not match. Same scenario as Devonte Graham


Yep. But I could totally see Dumars doing that and trying to sell it as his big splash move for the offseason. Mathurin is fine but he’s not moving the needle one way or the other
quote:

Would you trade Poole/Hawkins for MPJ, assuming it might take a 1st or 2 to get him, and you have to give him a large extension, likely 4/$200M? If you wanted a high volume efficient 3P shooter, there aren't many better than him in that role. I personally don't care for him, and wouldn't want to pay him that much. He's a low IQ player who isn't really a good defender or rebounder despite having the size and ability to be elite at both. I'd trade Zion straight up for him in a heartbeat.


I’d trade Zion for him in a heartbeat but I’m not giving up picks for MPJ
