what's this about Vince turning over a cooler and sitting away from the bench?

For starters his name is cool AF.

Can you imagine every time he was about to come into the game Ryan Cameron saying in a his deep booming voice, "Release the Dragan!" and then playing music from the Mortal Kombat movie. 

Would be epic. 

When he hits a shot "Dracarus"

Same reason they hated Reggie Theus, Rick Fox, Curry etc.  People hate the pretty boy that has game.

A major move is trading to get a player who will make a major difference in the win total on this team.  Capela and Dedmon are nice players, but they are not guys who are going to move the needle.  They aren’t the difference in winning 23 games this season and winning 37 games.

If they had gone out and made a deal for Karl Anthony Towns, that would have been a major move, because he is a guy who could add 8-10 wins to this team.

Have you seen the reviews on KAT?  Dude was on a historic personal losing streak.

Through the rest of November, the Wolves managed to stay above .500 at 10-8, but even as Towns increased his offensive numbers (alas, including his turnovers), his defensive acumen began to slip. His individual defensive rating of 111.9 points allowed was well above the team mark of 108.6 and the starters no longer benefited from his presence at that end of the court.

Move to December, and the onset of the two-month trough in which the Wolves have posted a 5-24 record. Towns missed more than half those games (15 in all) but remained a beast on offense when he played. The Wolves scored 117 points per 100 possessions with him on the court during that span, a whopping 10.8 points per 100 possessions more than when he sat or was sidelined.

But on defense he gave it all back. The team’s defensive rating with him on the court was a ridiculous 122.8 points allowed per 100 possessions, 11.2 points more than the team rating of 111.6 points allowed, and 6.2 points more per 100 possessions than the Washington Wizards, the worst defensive team in the NBA.

This TurboTax commercial is catchy

I like the depth we're showing tonight

Graham's j is broken lol

I don't think I want Teague back.  He has been a low energy guy at every stop,  He isn't a guy I want the young fellas absorbing.  He is fine for this year, but next year give me a back up PG with some dog in him. Shelvin Mack type energy

This team was not initially constructed to win at a sustainable level.  At least not initially.  They were going to be bottom 5 in any imaginative conclusion for this season. 

You think we might see some corrective measures through in game substitutions if guys don't start working harder on defense?  He has the vets to do it now.

Love on the outside, Drummond on the inside. Cavs are at least trying to be competitive next season.

sounds like an R&B hit "Love on the outside, Drummond on the inside, heart keeps on beating 'til it's Sexton time"

Trae got Wiggins traded.  I am certain his game last night had them like 

Any chance a team like could make a move on one our centers or are we locked in?
