If the U gets Johnson the money he needs to sign top portal players, top recruits and retain his best players, we will be amazed at his rapid development as a coach. Based on The Athletic's rankings, Mitchell is a very poor man's Pharrell Payne. The operative word is "poor."

Young Joe won't make that PR mistake again. He'll send the front office out to tell the public that they have advised ownership not to spend money, as his elders always did.

It's a really, really bad look not to invest in the team after finally doing something in the playoffs last year.

My mistake. Didn't realize it was FB. In any case, my understanding most of whatever NIL money there is per capita goes to FB, so it should be easier for PJ to keep his star players. Secondly, I can't imagine the U's hoops NIL rank is much different than FB. I suppose it's possible, but it...

I agree with the poster who said it was likely an AI generated ranking. However, it lines up with the eye test and most metrics. However, the most important metric was left out. The U ranks 14th out of 18 in NIL money. Correlation or causation? I wonder what Ben could do with Michigan or...

As counterintuitive as it sounds, I'd rather be freaked out by the matchup (and I am!) than over confident. There's something about super scary that turns into a win in sports that is inexplicable. The west is so competitive that there will definitely be lower tier playoff teams beating upper...

I still like Slo-Mo. He's got a soft shot that the rims around the league seem to love. His eight foot push shot/floaters always seem to bounce around the rim and go in. He is a disaster behind the three point line. His passing, defense and court vision remain excellent. I don't see the...

I haven't seen Cam on any of the mock draft sites which means slightly more than nothing. He certainly looks like he can be an NBA player. I'd be surprised if he's a first round pick this year, even in a weak draft. I wouldn't be surprised if a team takes a flyer on him late in the second...

Didn't see the game last night. How did Towns look?

No doubt about it. A tremendous year. My point is we are paying a very high price for this very fun year. The ramifications of the price could put the franchise right back where it was. Was the 2003-2004 year worth the 15 or so years that followed? If the wolves had won the title that...

George belongs in the NBA. Miller belongs in the G league or overseas. You hated it when it happened. You love it today--and it will be objectively worth it no matter what if they win the championship, because that was the trade's purpose. If they don't win the championship, you will hate it...

People who understand statistical modeling and the current CBA would suggest to you that it is better to have first round than second round picks. It's not that hard to figure out. You seem so certain of the future. The wolves were the odds on favorite to take it all in 2004-2005 after making...

You can pick and choose all you want. Jaden McDaniels was a late first round pick. Naz Reid was undrafted. Wiseman and Culver bombed. There are no guarantees going up or down the draft board. In today's NBA you need young, inexpensive talent to surround the big contracts. Statistically...

I'm glad you have a crystal ball. Like every other franchise, the wolves are one blown out knee and one trade demand from being back in the lottery. You have no clue what this team will look like in 2027, especially if Lore/ARod can't afford to keep it together. The 2020 draft was supposed to...
