This is unbelieveable. Not even close to the worst talent we have had, but absolutely the worst team in decades. Like 40 decades. This is rocket diharrea

Too bad Archie doesn't even have a bit of athleticism. He would be a decent backup if he did.

Can't be worse than the worst of the Floyd/Cartwright teams.

Hilarious statline for Wiggins. Even though I'm not nearly as high on LaVine as some, we should be grateful that Glenn Taylor liked him so much less than lazy ass Wiggins.

In hindsight not trading Wiggins straight up for Butler was the worst decision Thibs made. Wiggins is virtually worthless.

Wolves have improved dramatically since shedding the diva.

"Thibs had a somewhat open mind on moving Wiggins to Chicago, but Glen Taylor stepped in almost immediately and said no, Andrew is staying. They told Chicago within the first ten minutes of talk that Wiggins is off the table.”

"Wolfson also made a really interesting point about why Wiggins was actually off the table that time and it all came down to short-term success. The Timberwolves haven’t played a playoff game in 13 seasons, and owner Glen Taylor wanted that drought to end this year."

And Taylor's public involvement in the Butler trade brought the price down a bit.

Yikes! He's an even worse owner than I believed. Didn't think that was possible.

As did asking for $4M in cash at the last minute from Miami.

Disagree. Thibs's stubbornness brought the price down.. Butler wanted out 4 days after the completion of last season. Thibs didn't want to move him.

I'm saying the team. They play like trash. They're not running plays it looks exactly like pickup games at the gym.

Hoiberg does a poor job when it comes to reigning in bad players. Blakeney has an Iverson like green light as a G League player. Holiday also.

I'd be the first to say that they lack talent right now but you still have to play the right way. They don't and that falls on Hoiberg.

Get rid of him before the talent comes back. It's worse to be rudderless WITH talent.
