    Ogie, What do you think about the rumors that Burrow wants out of Cincy and that this might be one of his preferred landing spots? What do you think it would take to get him? Pie in the sky?

    I checked on AI (FWIW) and the standard fine for getting tossed and failing to leave in a timely manner is $35K. The commish can bump it to $50K if he sees fit or $50K if the coach won't leave at all. It suggests that Finchy and Ademan's fines were pretty standard. What you are implying (I...

    True, but it's very, very fragmented. Newspapers had a broad audience and, for a long time, viewed maximizing profits as secondary.

    Basically, a big drop off after Naz. OKC has gone 25-3 this year with one of the highest injury rates in the league.

    If you want great coverage of the pro sports teams, try The Athletic. Unfortunately, they provide minimal coverage of the gophers. The strib was never a great paper but at least the sports section was ok. Now it's all crap.

    On one night on their home on the second night of an OKC btb when they were already 24-2. The wolves don't have the talent and depth to run with those guys. Neither does anybody else.

    He is a good #2. He runs into problems when he thinks he's the primary.

    It's almost as if Randle is competing against Ant instead of the other team. He appears to be fighting the pecking order. I think part of the reason they lost to Memphis (whose record is much better without Ja this year) is Randle decided to be The Man. He played a lot of one on three with a...

    I'd love to have 26 year old Giannis. Giving up the personnel to make a deal work for 31 year old Giannis with his huge contract and his 60 games a year body would be a massive mistake. They need a reasonably decent pg.

    If that's true, did we give up Dilly and Leonard Miller to get him??

    I almost turned it off heading into the fourth because I'd read this script before. Then I almost turned it off when the dubs made their run after the wolves went up by twelve with six minutes left because I'd read this script before. Stayed with it and it was a pleasure not to see this team...

    Nice try. You are pretzeling like deuce. I didn't say or imply that Finch is the third best coach in the league. I said he was a fine coach, which he is. A coach who has taken a team with no recent draft help to two straight WCF's. He's also one of many coaches in the league who could be...

    Their inability to close games this year has been really frustrating.

    You used a ridiculous hypothetical and I pointed out the absurdity of the straw man argument. Finch is managing a roster that has been mismanaged. The situation is becoming analogous to the Vikings. The wolves have almost nothing to show for every draft since Connelly took over. The top...

    I have a pretty radical suspicion that Luka would help this team at pg. Finch is not a perfect coach but he's pretty damn good. He manages personalities really well which is 75% of coaching in the NBA. He's got a wildly talented superstar who is immature and supremely overconfident. The kid...

    They desperately need a pg. Please let it be anybody but CP. He's useless on the court and evidently very disruptive in the locker room. By reputation he's always been disruptive in the locker room. When he was a point god, he was more than worth it. This is Ant's team and the pecking order...

    The two tight games against NO are further proof that the wolves need a real point guard. The good teams are going to pressure the hell out of whoever is trying to initiate the offense and the wolves don't have good ball handlers. Most of the time Ant is going to initiate the offense and his...
