I was thinking about how crawfords one year in Minnesota feels like an absolute fever dream and I was wondering if y’all had any other players who you feel the same about

  4. Tayshaun Prince feels fucking weird now that I think about it and I’m not sure why lol.

  6. The first year my girlfriend watched the wolves was when Jamal Crawford played and she stopped watching once he left the team. She’s recently started back up because of Naz and Ant but Crawford is still so clearly her favorite, I pointed out him calling the first or second summer league game and she was very stoked

  9. That one year the wolves had Brandon Roy, Ak47, and josh howard was a strange fever dream. The Cream Team Fever dream. Also the year Michael Beasley was here. 

  11. Brandon Roy, particularly good Brandon Roy. He had like 3-5 games were he was good before it all went to hell again.

  14. The fever dream part of this is: aren’t we still using these same damn jerseys? 

    Edit: party–>part

  15. If you just want a rundown of some hyped names that totally flopped though, I can run some off in the last 20 years easily. So many damn letdowns in my Wolves fandom prime man.

    Brandon Roy- Got some crazy cartilage procedure that worked for like two weeks and fell apart.

    Darko Milicic- Mana from heaven, had a few flashes but yea, mostly sucked.

    Marko Jaric- The guy we traded Cassell for, was supposed to be this steal, a huge Euro PG with untapped potential who could ball out. We were sold he would be a big upgrade. He could defend and rebound with his size. Dude botched putting on his own jersey.

    Mike James- Man talked so much shit in his free agency coming off a big season as a Raptor. Talked about how he was going to be a “Terror in this league.” We got him. Seemed like we picked up this underrated dog, he had a huge chip on his shoulder and he wanted to be here. We finally had someone who could match KG’s fire and swagger. NOPE. Dude didn’t do a damn thing.

    Ricky Davis- He was actually alright. Not great but he had an ok time here. Still, we hoped he would be bigger and better.

    Mike Miller an awesome shooter, a guy who seemed to tear us up all the time. Really good scorer. Seemed like a fantastic get when got him. Of course when he got here all of that disappeared in a puff of smoke. Dude couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn. To a lesser extent, also see Kevin Martin.

    Now Fever dreams that were just awesome.

    KG final season.

    AK47.

    Derrick Rose.

    Stephon Marbury (I was too young to care but I heard the stories hype was peak at the time).

    Flip during the “Dunks After Dark” pups era.

    Wiggins against the Cavs.

    In hindsight, Pekovic, didn’t know how good we had it.

  17. Ndudi Ebi. He was like the only first rounder we had for a million years because of that stupid Joe Smith deal and I don’t remember a single game he played in. But I absolutely know he did play for the Wolves at one point. It also looks like he was kicking around international ball until 2018(!).

  20. So many random names played for the team in a short stint, usually at the end of their careers. I’ll add one I havent seen yet – Luol Deng

  22. Luol Deng is gonna help me fill out some Immaculate Grids for years to come.

  24. Derrick Rose!

    When he dropped 50 points and had the emotional interview after the game. He had gone through so many injuries in his career, so to see him have a vintage DRose performance was beautiful.
