Their opinion was that the return on the trade is irrelevant. The actual action of trading signaled a needed rebuild which they hailed.
I didn't understand the logic. Step 1 of the rebuild was deciding to trade Butler but Step 1.b. was to maximize return for him.
I don't know why but giving up #16 in that trade and then selling the second round pick irks me. Are you telling me that the Timberwolves walk away from the deal if you insist on keeping #16?
A caller questioned them on why would you sell the second round pick, goff proceeds to fillabuster and literally did not answer the question.
their take as you described is atrocious. their other take of "Garpax isnt going anywhere so dont complain about them" is also idiotic. complaining about GM's in this city is what their radio station used to be all about before it became "obnoxious assbags dictate to listeners smart radio"I honestly believe that sports media has had the unintended consequence of leading me to increasingly become ambivalent toward sports. You now are a buffoon if you trust your eyes & experience over mountains of unintelligible statistics. The men & women shouting the loudest and with the "greatest" outrage always seem to know the least.
It was one thing to laugh at the ass kissers and guys who described "towering line drives". That was at least good for laughs. Now we're left to hear about insider info they won't share

(because they don't have any), the three technique, salary caps and the idea of a player being clutch being abject stupidity.
It's as if this generation of clowns wanted to grow up in the toy department, realized they did, felt inadequate as adults and had to make it all super serious to fell better about themselves.
