So 20 and 10 on a lottery team is "GREAT"? He's a good player on a bad team.
Gomes is ok as long as he comes off the bench, Green is a high flyer with no substance.
Boston has a shot at the title the Wolves are garbage.
KG was MVP on the Wolves but McHale never surrounded him with talent.
He's a bad GM he should have been fired years ago.
