    I think it’s safe to say that NYC won that trade. If Ant Edwards isn’t playing out of his mind, the Wolves are going to struggle.

    I've been wondering, if Rupert entered the draft a year later, would he have been a top-5 pick instead of mid-2nd round? With all the Wemby love pushing three Frenchies to the top of this year's draft, where would he have been regarded among that group?

    Not a draft expert, but he definitely would have gone higher.

    Randle and Divicenzo are combining fur 32/10/8. Seems relatively even.

    I like Dante’s game more than Randle’s.

    So trade for Zion and then unload him?

    Which one of you in here the other day said they weren’t impressed with Wemby? C’Mon step up!

    I wouldn't be shocked if we say NY or Minnesota is the clear winner in a couple years.

    Might even be a win win trade. The Kat Gobert Reid center trio was clunky.

    He'd be much higher but no he wouldn't have been anywhere near top5.

    lots of injuries around the league right now. Seems like more than normal but maybe that's just recency bias

    Sure seems like it, and further calls into question this load management nonsense.

    Had Minny kept their roster the same they were heading to the WCF in my opinion. Just don’t see it this year.Randle and Ant will not be able to play together in a tight game. They both NEED the ball at all times.

    When his shot selection will improve, he will be unstoppable. To let him shoot 22% on 3pts with almost 7 attempts per game with his body is criminal.

    Do you mean Wemby's prospects before Popovich retired, or after he retired?

    You don't think Rupert would have rated as highly as the other three raw Frenchies this year? They were all drafted for their "freakish athleticism" potential, and in Rupert's year 2, he seems to be showing as much skill as them.

    I guess we're seeing pretty quickly how important Holmgren is to the Thunder...

    I think the Knicks would be willing to undo that trade if Minny gives them a call.
