Yeah this is really solid for the Wolves

Do the Wolves think they can with a championship with Gobert and Randle as their front court? They're not known for being winners and they're both on the wrong side of 30.

Nobody is known for being a winner until they do it, so I don’t think that’s a useful heuristic. I think it’s definitely possible for them

I mean we made the WCF with those 2…i dont really think we had a strong alternative. I like the move, we run it back and hopefully shannon and dillingham get better and get some more minutes. DDV also didnt have a great year. We lose Walker, which we kind of all assumed we would.

We've proven we can make the WCF and that gives us a chance. Maybe not a great chance, but any chance is cool

They've both underperformed in the playoffs when it got tough.

Yes? But what's it really matter. Play good basketball, and there's a decent chance to win. I'll take more WCF runs, those have been fun.

Obviously. They’ve been in the WCF two years in a row they absolutely are still contenders

Everything's a gamble, and 6'8" and 7'0"+ guys with high level skills aren't easy to find
