re: What Marc Stein said about DQ

If you can't build around Queen, then his abilities are stunted. He just becomes Jahlil Okafor. He has too much talent for that.
And that’s exactly my outlook on Queen. I think he’s extremely talented on offense but his defensive issues are not fixable. He’s too short and too slow, that’s not a skill or fitness issue. He’ll be better than Oakfor but I don’t see how anybody can watch the playoffs these past few years and think Queen can be a positive player in the playoffs.

The best thing for DQ long term is a Chet, Mobley, Jaren Jackson, Porzingis type of player (yes the rare stretch big who can rim protect). But if DQ develops the outside shot then a rim running rim protecter would suffice.
This is the Zion problem all over again. It takes absolutely perfect roster construction to cover his weaknesses which means you probably shouldn’t be building around him in the first place

The team has some talent, I’ll give them that but none of it fits together whatsoever. We still can’t shoot, rebound or defend

They’re great cars. I think it’s a little bit of survivorship bias. They were mass produced, cheap, and reliable vehicles. By sheer volume, cost, and reliability they were bound to end up in the hands of some unsavory people.

It was a gamble. We needed shooting and hoped for improvement. It didn't happen.
It doesn’t take a genius to see that Hawk wasn’t going to be worth 7 million and if you needed shooting you can find it for cheaper than that. Everyone on this board even said it was a bad idea at the time. That’s not a gamble, that’s poor decision making

Let's not pretend that Peavy was that good, or that 2nds matter. This was best case scenario and not that bad of a salary dump trade at all. Multiple posters thought we would have to give up much more
It’s the fact that it was an unforced error. shite like this adds up over time. Especially when you have someone like Dumars in charge

Everyone called that we would end up spending assets to dump Hawk the second we picked up his option

Timberwolves sold for 4.5 billion
Posted by Balsamic_duck on 8/21/26 at 10:08 am
The reason this is notable is that the wolves are routinely ranked near the bottom of franchise value rankings along with the Pels and Grizzlies. This probably puts the value of the Pels franchise at around 4 billion.

I'm not really that sure we should be ahead of Sacramento either. This franchise is a fricking dumpster fire.
It’s pretty funny that both franchises suck because of ownership but each are at opposite ends of the spectrum. The kings owner is too involved and has his hands in everything including making the GM make awful trades or draft players that he likes. The Pels have an owner that could not give less of shite about the team and refuses to invest the requisite money required to be good

This is going to maybe be the worst attendance season in the history of this franchise. There is absolutely zero buzz or excitement around the city for this team.
