Thibs should trade Wiggins for Noah and whatever else to make the salaries work (maybe Hardaway). He's the missing piece for the Wolves. Maybe they can also get Boozer involved in their broadcasts.

What?

They already have Rose, Butler, Gibson and now Deng. Noah has to be next, right?

Just wanna stockpile guys who played for Thibs in Chi-Town.

#77 Ariza
#50 Booker

50 is low. Booker is underrated.

You don't get respect in the league if you don't win. Booker has led his team to 68 total wins, ever. Curry did that in a single year (67). He will get his respect once we make the playoffs and he can play on a big stage, instead of in the shadows.

Yeah yeah yeah, I understand that, but it still makes him underrated.

Do I think there are 50 guys in the league I would rather have on my team, no way. But I totally get why he is in that category of NBA player instead of in the top 25 or so we think he is.

Until Booker proves he's either passable defensively or has solves some of his efficiency issues #50 isn't really that bad a ranking.

A big part of his value is that he’s only 21. If he were 28 and doing what he’s been doing, would 50 seem unreasonable?

Sorry but there's no way Robert Covington, Gary Harris, Otto Porter should be ranked higher than Booker, defensive shortcomings taken into account. Dragic and Millsap are questionable, tho I would think age and relative injury history would be the biggest detractors there.

They all beat the crap out of him in VORP, WS, WS/48, BPM, and RPM.

Put better players around Booker, give him a real coach and quit tanking and let's see how things pan out. Booker's a franchise player, 21 years old. None of those other guys are. Nice players, but not better than Booker and no coach or GM would take them over him.

Blah blah blah.

There’s not a team in the league that would rather have those players.

And that's where analytics fails us.

I saw someone compare Russ to Rose today and I was like Hmmm , find it hard to draw that comp tho
Referencing that this is multiple knee issues Russ has had last couple seasons and that Rose was the last freakishly athletic PG and that his body didn't hold up

Going to miss him on the bench. Best of luck to him and his career.

Williams was our 5th highest paid player last season.
