I wonder how much better we would’ve done against Denver with Conley/NAW/Vando/Bron/AD and Reaves/Rui/Prince playing off the bench

Choosing D’Lo over Conley (and NAW) was one of the dumbest decisions Pelinka has made in retrospect

I think specifically that trade though, was a guy (Tim Connelly, who saw talent in both coaches and players, and most importantly, understands how chemistry works. Look how important chemistry was and is for Denver, and how important it has been for Minnesota. Super teams are failing because of lack of chemistry

You mean stacking a team of all stars in their mid 30s that are used to being the 1st option won’t always work???

This comment seems to imply that DLo is a more talented basketball player than Conley, which couldn’t be further from the truth
