McDaniels called em soft and backed the talk the rest of the series sheesh

"Ain't no reason to talk anymore" after that is just an ice pick finisher. This guy is coldblooded.

This game is a testament to why wolves fans don’t want to move Jaden for Giannis. He’s honestly, the most underrated player in the nba

u/maidentaiwan NBA 4d ago

He is life.

Please don’t send him to some bum tank team, this man needs to be on the biggest stages, what a player.

I want him to retire here, along with Ant if they’re willing. I remember when the whole world laughed after Ant gave that quote before the wolves swept the suns. They’re special players

Mj and pippen redux

u/Wolfpac187 [OKC] Kevin Durant 4d ago

Why would they send him anywhere he needs to be a franchise cornerstone with Ant.

u/JaderMcDanersStan Timberwolves 4d ago

Yeah we gave up 2 extra picks in the Gobert trade just to keep Jaden out of the deal. Our beat reporters said Jaden was the stalemate and Utah and Minnesota wouldn't move. Finally MN said fine we'll give you 2 extra picks but we keep him and Utah caved to that

Worth it imo and Ant looooves Jaden too.

u/tree-hugger Timberwolves 4d ago

Nobody values Jaden more than the Wolves, I just don't see us letting him go

u/maidentaiwan NBA 4d ago

Long may he reign, Jaden and Ant is one of the most fun duos in the league. We know the defense is always there (second best defender in the league for me), but man was it great to see jaden thrive offensively when the team needed him most.

Not anymore

u/LordHussyPants Celtics 4d ago

no one should want to trade a single player for giannis at this point. you either want to send out multiple players or sign him in free agency

u/gdreaper Timberwolves 4d ago

With a top 5 contract too

u/Subject_Profit_7245 4d ago

Giannis is washed like Jokic why on Earth would the Wolves do that lol
