re: In a sense, this has been a great scenario for us.

Don't forget Minnesota.

Tim Connelly is the exact opposite of David Griffin. He talks to his star players and goes out and gets players to fit them. He went out and got Aaron Gordon when most people said he was nothing more than an overpaid dunker. It sounds crazy now, but he took a lot of criticism for that trade.
In Minnesota, he was roasted in the media (and on pelicans talk) for the Gobert trade. They said the same thing; overpaid, one way player. But no one ever talked about how Gordon and Gobert were elite at things his stars were deficient at.

I'm glad that the wolves are doing well. Unfortunately, it's just another reminder that this franchise sided with that fricking sour faced retard, Monty Williams, over Connelly and Demps.
