And all you have to do is put "Wiggins" in an advanced search to see that you didn't want the Wolves to move on from him when they had the opportunity. You're a worthless ****ing Ricky Rubio fanboy.  about NBA basketball forever. |
Yeah, it sounds like I'm OVERJOYED about the Wiggins extension, dickhead. And this was prior to Butler requesting to be traded out of Minnesota.

That Wiggins extension put an end to any hopes of us even thinking about moving into the top 4 of Western Conference teams before Butler leaves

As for names? I'll do you one better. Here's the current Houston Rockets roster:
15 Clint Capela C 24 6' 10" 240 lbs - $15,293,104
6 Gary Clark PF 24 6' 8" 225 lbs Cincinnati $569,873
12 Vincent Edwards SF 22 6' 8" 225 lbs Purdue -
8 James Ennis III SF 28 6' 7" 210 lbs Long Beach State $1,621,415
35 Kenneth Faried PF 29 6' 8" 220 lbs Morehead State $683,661
10 Eric Gordon SG 30 6' 4" 215 lbs Indiana $13,500,375
14 Gerald Green SG 33 6' 7" 205 lbs - $1,512,601
13 James Harden PG 29 6' 5" 220 lbs Arizona State $35,650,150
55 Isaiah Hartenstein PF 20 7' 0" 249 lbs - $838,464
42 Nene Hilario C 36 6' 11" 250 lbs - $3,651,480
4 Danuel House Jr. SF 25 6' 7" 220 lbs Texas A&M $116,224
3 Chris Paul PG 33 6' 0" 175 lbs Wake Forest $35,654,150
25 Austin Rivers PG 26 6' 4" 200 lbs Duke $922,943
- Iman Shumpert SG 28 6' 5" 215 lbs Georgia Tech $11,011,234
17 PJ Tucker
You're saying take away Harden and Gordon and you're left with a bottom of the barrel franchise?
No, you ****ing spoiled moron. You're a Denver Bronco fan post-Manning. You don't know what bad actually is. You can do this, "Blah blah that's because I expect more from my team" game to defend yourself, but the actual truth is you just have no clue whatsoever about the talent differences between the top and bottom of the NBA.
For comparison's sake, I'll give you the roster of my Timberwolves. Take away the top two players (which is the stipulation you put in for the Rockets). Sooo... KAT and somebody else. Probably Wiggins, but you could also go for Covington. Either way, this is what you're left with:
31 Keita Bates-Diop SF 23 6' 9" 229 lbs Ohio State $838,464
8 Jerryd Bayless PG 30 6' 3" 200 lbs Arizona $8,575,916
8 Isaiah Canaan PG 27 6' 0" 200 lbs Murray State $1,512,601
33 Robert Covington SF 28 6' 9" 225 lbs Tennessee State $10,464,092
9 Luol Deng SF 33 6' 9" 237 lbs Duke $1,512,601
5 Gorgui Dieng C 29 6' 11" 252 lbs Louisville $15,170,787
67 Taj Gibson PF 33 6' 9" 232 lbs USC $14,000,000
1 Tyus Jones PG 22 6' 2" 196 lbs Duke $2,444,053
20 Josh Okogie SG 20 6' 4" 212 lbs Georgia Tech $2,160,720
25 Derrick Rose PG 30 6' 3" 200 lbs Memphis $1,512,601
36 Dario Saric PF 24 6' 10" 223 lbs - $2,526,840
0 Jeff Teague PG 30 6' 2" 195 lbs Wake Forest $19,000,000
3 Jared Terrell SG 23 6' 3" 227 lbs Rhode Island -
43 Anthony Tolliver PF 33 6' 8" 250 lbs Creighton $4,750,000
32 Karl-Anthony Towns C 23 7' 0" 248 lbs Kentucky $7,839,435
22 Andrew Wiggins SF 23 6' 8" 194 lbs Kansas $25,467,250
12 C.J. Williams
And that's hardly the worst roster in the NBA. It ain't good... believe me. But it's not as good as what the Rockets have, and it's still probably around the 20-30th percentile in terms of talent.
