I view it as Gobert, Naz, and JMcD wants to be here and are working on their game? McLaughlin could move to the front office.



Reading through Danes posts….
Where’s KAT been this summer?


He was probably with his Dad for Father's Day.

Right now, he is in MN working out.

Read on Twitter


Anything else to add to the false narrative around KAT?

That was snarky and rude. Must be that time of the month.

I was merely asking a question based upon not seeing any information on his summer activities.

I’m thankful that we still have old reliable RealGM even as Twitter is going down the toilet… (let’s not make this political, that’s not my intent)

Even with all of the activity happening in the West, I still feel very good about our positioning. I don’t think we’re in any worse shape as things stand right now.

I've been thinking about how fun the next-generation Wolves will be with Edwards, McDaniels, Miller and Reid in the starting lineup in a few years. Shouldn't be hard to find a PG who can fit in with that.

Yeah, I can't stop thinking that a big comboguard with elite PoA defense can make this team so special. But IMO this core only needs a big shooter like MPJ, Cam Johnson, this way they can run and gun whole game.

Really, I think this group will be kinda like people are saying about the new foursome in Memphis, that you literally could play almost anyone on your team with them and it would be a tough lineup.

Really interested to see who gets the two-way contracts for the wolves. Also, hoping to follow some more Iowa Wolves this year. Enjoying seeing the guys Connolly is bringing in that are young, athletic prospects. Guys like Minot, Miller, and Yat... I'm really hoping Yat gets a 2way.

I’m just happy we aren’t entering another season with non-winning players like DLo and Beasley (examples) eating up salary cap space.

I really hope that KAT can run and gun next season.

I'm pumped! Can't wait for the season to start. Brought the band back together, got great additions on the margin. Rookies drafted look promising. Extended Ant. We have max players who have never demanded a trade and are happy to be here! Only need Jaden's extension and everyone to finish FIBA injury free and we're looking at a good continuity into next season.

As part of my positivity I don't like it when posters here mock our players and IMO way undervalue them. However, it's their right to do so if it makes them happy.

This season will be fireworks: too expensive for what you get and wont last long.

But at least we will make a big show and impress everyone.

Is that what counts for "positivity" in Germany?
