Summary

On today’s show, Dane is joined by Chris Hine from the Star Tribune to discuss a loss so bad to the Portland Trailblazers that you can’t help but deeply question the trajectory of this team as currently constructed. With that, topics today include... — Were the 52 games the Wolves played without Karl-Anthony Towns at all relevant to solving the puzzle at hand? — Why this season has made conversations about a potential Karl-Anthony Towns trade not seem inappropriate — If you have to play offense one way with Gobert, can KAT, Ant and Rudy all do it together? — Are the Wolves pot-committed to a bad hand? — With lots of negative focus on Towns and Gobert, how much of this season is also on Edwards and Finch? — Chris discusses what went into getting the quote from Gobert about the officiating when he was in Phoenix on Wednesday Sign up today for a 14-day free trial of Aura’s digital security at Aura.com/Dane Learn more about your ad choices.

0:17.4	Coming at you Monday morning, it's April 3rd.
0:20.5	And for The Wolves, this is the low

0:40.1	The highest paid Blazers player who played in that game was Shaden Sharp,
0:44.6	who makes about the same amount of money as Nikiel Alexander Walker makes for the
0:48.3	Wolves.
0:48.6	The Blazers only played three players in that game who are making above the minimum salary, while the Wolves played
0:56.9	Rudy Gobert, who is in the midst of a five-year, $200 million contract. They played Kat,

1:10.7	about to sign a five-year contract extension
1:14.4	worth at least $200 million.
1:17.3	And those three lost at home in a must-win game to Jonathan Williams and John Butler, Jr.,
1:24.0	who started playing in the NBA literally this week.
1:28.4	One game blips happen.
1:31.5	The problem is that this game, this type of loss, is not at all a blip for this Wolf's team.
1:39.7	They lose to teams like this all the time because they haven't figured out how to take them
