We had the money to keep him around and get him healthy. A 2022 6th? Really? The problem is he wasn't healthy in either 2018 or 2020. He couldn't be relied upon. The fact that they got anything for him is a bonus. It makes sense, because he likely wasn't going to get a lot of play time this year because he's been surpassed on the depth chart by multiple players.

I'm only joking. I have to contribute to the offseason fatalism. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpMc Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I got to know Kelly a bit as a point of contact between the Vixen and Vikings. Super stoked for her. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had seen her name before and had briefly read stories on her, so I only knew of her vaguely, but she was in the scouting department, so you don't really get to know a lot about them. I mean, I think we've all heard the name Jamaal Stephenson, but do we really know anything about him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend the interview with him on the Unrestricted with Ben Leber podcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like 9% to get #1, with the Rockets, Pistons and Magic all at 14% to get #1. They have a 37% chance to get in the top 4 (I'm not sure what it is to get in the top 3 though, but I imagine it has to be around that 30% mentioned the other day) Edited May 18, 2021 by swede700 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It may of been you but im not 100% sure) So lets hope we can get another good draft pick and build upon our team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 "If they had finished with the fourth- or fifth-worst record, they would have had a 34.1 percent chance of landing a top-three pick. Now, in the No. 6 position, the Wolves’ odds of landing a top-three pick and thus keeping their selection have dropped to 27.6 percent." https://dunkingwithwolves.com/2021/05/17/minnesota-timberwolves-final-nba-draft-lottery-odds/ I'm not sure what the NBA tie-breakers are but had they lost to the Mavs they would have finished in a 3-way tie at 22-50 with the Cavs and Thunder. It is a difference of 6.5%. I'm certainly not an NBA fan but do keep tabs on the Wolves when I can. It seems that if KAT (22 games missed) and D-Lo (30 games missed) were healthy and Ant found his game sooner we wouldn't even be having this discussion, the pick would easily be GSW's. Again, this is my thought process after box-score scouting the last 10 minutes or so. I'd say the future is easily as bright as it has been for the Wolves with the sale of the team to A-Rod. They also finished the season "strong" going 11-13 since 4/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
