Kirilloff seems to be finding his groove. Wouldn't be totally against moving Sano for pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENINCH Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) Wolves have been sold for 1.5 billion.

wcblack34 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I don't know about the franchise valuation, but Anthony Edwards looks like he'll be a superstar. The team needs to add solid rotational defenders, but there seems to be a lot to like about a core of Towns/Edwards/D-Lo. They've been a tough team and beaten some good teams when all three are in the lineup. They'll always have a tough go in the Western Conference, but they don't look like they'll be a doormat next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they're not a doormat, as it would give me some reason to watch an NBA game. Otherwise, I have little to no interest, because it's all about the individual players rather than the teams.

VikeManDan Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 2 games left for the Wolves, looks like they're going to lose that lottery pick to the Warriors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that, even if they finish in the bottom 3, they only had like a 32% chance of keeping the pick. If they finish 5th to last, it drops to 26%. So there was a good chance they'd lose it anyway, but it helps to build a culture if you show hope. Keeping KAT happy and showing him there's a path forward may ultimately be more important than that pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Did the Wild catch a break by drawing the Golden Knights in round 1? I think so. Game 1: Sunday, 5/16, 2:00pm (NBC) Game 2: Tuesday, 5/18, 9:00pm (NBCSN) Game 3: Thursday, 5/20, 8:30pm (NBCSN) Game 4: Saturday, 5/22, 7:00pm (NBC) Wild won regular season series 5-3.

Box score scouting they appear to have done well since mid-April. 8-8 since 4/13, they hadn't won back-to-back games since the first two games of the season.

They still have a decent chance to finish in the top 3. It's still somewhere in the neighborhood of a 30% chance. They've flattened a lot of the odds, so even teams like the Rockets only have about a 40% chance of finishing in the top 3, but the Wolves are just under 30%.

My favorite two teams, slugging it out. I'm pulling for the Wild and for Kaprizov to have his coming out party in front of the entire nation during the playoffs.

Bottom 3 would be 40%, currently tied for 5th with odds of 29.7, if they finish 6th in would be 27.6. They did cost themselves a significant amount of percentage, but they were always more likely than not to lose it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
