Trolls Disrespect Timberwolves Fans for Criticizing Andrew Wiggins in Recent Fansided.com - Dunkingwithwolves.com Articles Comments Section

Below is a two part comment I posted under this morning's Fansided.com/Dunkingwithwolves.com article "Andrew Wiggins" Hot Start Shouldn't be a Surprise" by talented writer Noha Tarranova

[PART 1]
One good game and the Andrew Wiggins propaganda machine, the pro-Wiggins cultist trolls are attempting low IQ "gotchya" replies against the sensible Wiggins critics. If these are the sort of Timberwolves fans that come with Andrew Wiggins, then for the sake of decency alone, Wiggins must be traded!!!

Recent Wiggins BIAS is being aggressively shown through the new pro-Wiggins cultist trolls now more than ever. I wonder who's paying them? The Wiggins promotion campaign is lead by rude, crude and immature trolls.

Andrew Wiggins Must be Traded ASAP vs. Benched

The time has come to move on from 
Andrew Wiggins. Enough is enough
Andrew Wiggins days are numbered receiving a paycheck for the privilege of playing professional basketball for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wiggins has by all measurable standards including the eye test, shown absolutely no evidence of improvement from last year. All of the hyped up "hard work" he's supposedly put into his game (as parrotted by  the Minnesota sportswriters) over the summer should have prepared him for the preseason; yet, he is alarmingly the exact same player and person as last year, just like the FIVE years prior. We've heard from the mainstream Minnesota sports media ad nauseum that Wiggins has worked harder on his game this summer than previous summers; and yet he's proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it was all fake news. The Timberwolves fanbase have been sold a bottle of snake oil with a big picture of Andrew Wiggins smile on it. True Wolves fans should be FURIOUS, for they've been deceived!!!

The best thing for Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas to do for the betterment of the organization is to trade Andrew Wiggins for anything at this point; and make the trade happen quickly and silently.

All The Work And Time In The Gym Andrew Wiggins Has Put In Has Produced NOTHING!



Andrew Wiggins of the Minnesota Timberwolves is about to start his 6th season with the Wolves. We all know that he was the first overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, chosen by the Cleveland Cavaliers and later traded to the Wolves for All-Star Kevin Love. There has always been high hopes that Wiggins would blossom into an All-Star but, after 5 seasons he has yet to come close.

This offseason has been different, according to writers who are so "pro-Wiggins" that some fans have begun to question if those writers are on Owner Glen Taylor's payroll. Maybe they were offered a chance to write for the StarTribune if they talked Wiggins up to create a false impression that he will be turning the corner...finally. It is widely known that Wiggins' contract is one of the worst in the league and because he is on a Max deal, the wolves have had little room with the salary cap to offer a more deserving player and the result has been the team being in NBA Purgatory...Again.

A Potential 3-Team Trade Involving Andrew Wiggins and Chris Paul

I recently posted a comment on one of the other Wolves blogs about a potential 3-team trade that would send Andrew Wiggins on his way. The trade would move Chris Paul from the Oklahoma City Thunder and bring back Tim Hardaway Jr. from Dallas.

There have been rumors swirling around involving the Wolves and Minnesota being a landing spot for Paul. Let me be clear by saying that I really like Paul as a player but, I really DON'T like the idea of him playing for the Timberwolves. I don't see him being a good fit with the Wolves.

At the same time, I really DON'T like Andrew Wiggins and his work ethic (or lack thereof). I had held out hope for Wiggins turning into a star player but, I finally looked beyond all the negative stats that he has had with the team and am now of the opinion that Wiggins will never develop into the player so many of us fans had hoped he would. He may very well become a star in the NBA but, I am convinced it won't be in Minnesota.

Has The NBA Become Too Complex For The New and Casual Fan To Understand?


This article is my first of hopefully many to be featured on the new Timberwolves fan site I created…. NBA Timberwolves Talk.

I am a fan of the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves. For better would be great but, for most of their 30 years in the league, it has been for the worse. I have followed them every season, hoping to see them have another season like they did in 2004 when they made it to the Western Conference Finals. My trust in that hope is what keeps me following them, even though I no longer live in Minnesota.

Recently, while reading an article about them, I noticed there were a lot of basketball terms being used and I admit, I didn't know what some of them meant. Over the years I have considered myself a "common fan.” That Means I understand basic basketball terminology, enough to understand most of what I read in today's NBA news.
