    All Things 2025 Minnesota Timberwolves Off-Season Thread

    Because they can pick up second rounders at anytime, they should have picked up an additional second rounder this time. Since they are such solid NBA owners why would they value a couple of million bucks over another player asset? Why was it so important for them to do that twice in one week...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Timberwolves Off-Season Thread

    They were always going to stay under the second apron, which makes sense. Asking ATL for an additional 2nd round pick, even post 2030 was achievable. Second round picks get tossed around like candy in the NBA. This was the second cash considerations deal in a week. Not a good look.

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Timberwolves Off-Season Thread

    The TPE piece of it was good. I would have preferred an additional second, even if a few years out, to cash considerations. This was their second cash considerations deal in a week. It's not a good look.

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Timberwolves Off-Season Thread

    This is the second wolves deal in the last five days with "cash considerations." One of the major concerns about Lore and ARod was that they were under capitalized. This doesn't help the perception. (Yes, I know about Schmidt and Bloomberg. No clue what their actual involvement is or is not.)

    Not for $3.6M when you are right up against the second apron. They must really, really, really value him as a locker room guy.

    The U.S. District Attorney’s office is investigating Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley on allegations of gambling related to NBA games and prop bets

    He was the one who waved a gun at some people who turned around in his driveway when he played here. Dumbass.

    What grade would you give the Timberwolves 2025 draft?

    Then Finch is dumb or at least not as smart as you. He played Rob 500 minutes last year, probably around 400 of those minutes were in garbage time. This was after TC announced they wer going to throw him in there no matter what. Playing ahead of him was a 37 year old who barely cracked the top...

    What grade would you give the Timberwolves 2025 draft?

    Due to the salary cap, the draft was one of the few ways they could improve the roster for next year. They chose not to do that. When you tell me that 17th picks don't play rotational minutes, plug it into one of the AI apps. There are at least twenty examples that contradict that statement...

    What grade would you give the Timberwolves 2025 draft?

    It's almost as if the wolves thought they won the championship and there were no holes to fill on the current roster.

    The Timberwolves currently have 11 players ages 25 or younger

    Forgot all about Matteo. Where's he been?

    Naz Reid intends to sign a new five-year, $125 million contract with Wolves

    My guess is it means that Julius is gone unless he takes less money or he opts in.

    Updated 2nd Round Mock per The Athletic

    Nope. There was nothing the wolves did in the draft that strengthened the team for next year. Neither of these guys are rotation players in 25-26. With the potential departures of of Reid and NAW, Fleming could have been a rotation player. Conley will be 38 and Dillingham is undersized...

    Updated 2nd Round Mock per The Athletic

    The message of this draft is that the wolves have punted on challenging OKC next year. I don't have too much of a problem with Beringer, except he's two years away from being an impact player. The wolves decided to David Kahn the second round. Rasheer Fleming is a player who could have...

    History Shows Pacers vs. Thunder May Draw Record-Low Ratings

    I think OKC would have won even if Haliburton had played. They are the best team in the league and they proved it all year. However, I counted five phantom calls in favor of SGA last night with no reciprocal treatment in favor of Indiana on the other end. OKC plays tackle football on defense...
