    All Things 2025-2026 Minnesota Timberwolves Offseason Thread

    My overall sense of the situation at Target Center is the last few moves by Connelly have been scrambling to fix past mistakes. There's no vision for the future.

    All Things 2025-2026 Minnesota Timberwolves Offseason Thread

    If you've never seen the videos, they are revealing and hysterical. Scalabrine, who's career was basically garbage time, absolutely dominates civilians.

    All Things 2025-2026 Minnesota Timberwolves Offseason Thread

    As the data shows, of the top 20 players in the league only three are statistically fully two way players: Wemby, Chet and SGA. All three are surrounded by far better players than Ant, especially on offense. Stop whining that Finch doesn't get Ant to be everywhere all the time all at once...

    Tom Izzo said he is "disgusted" by the on-campus turmoil that led to the departures of the school's president and AD

    I have no idea what is going on at MSU. Haven't followed it. I do know that Izzo is a pompous fraud.

    Spurs vs Knicks Finals Thread

    If the wolves could figure out a way to make the Fox contract work (a huge "if"), I'd love to have him. SA needs front court size (besides Wemby) and they would love to get off off the Fox contract. They might be willing to attach picks to get off of his deal. The wolves want to move Randle...

    All Things 2025-2026 Minnesota Timberwolves Offseason Thread

    I went on Google Genesis and asked for a list of the statistically top 20 defenders in the NBA for 2025-2026. Then I asked for the statistically top 20 overall players for this now past season. The only overlaps were Wemby, Chet and SGA. Most of the top players excel on one side of the ball...

    Spurs vs Knicks Finals Thread

    They did what immature teams do. They got cocky and maybe a little bored. As amazing as Wemby, Castle and Harper are, they might be too young to handle success. The Spurs are more talented than the Knicks by a fair amount. If they learned a lesson last night, I wouldnt be surprised to see...

    Spurs vs Knicks Finals Thread

    I almost turned off the TV. Glad I stayed with it. Fox made a bonehead play, he has an albatross contract and the Spurs don't need him now that they have Harper. However, with a better contract he could play on my team all day, every day. Above average defender, moves the ball, runs an...

    I think the NBA is protecting Wemby. He deserved a flagrant for shoving Brunson to the ground just like he deserved a one game suspension beyond the ejection for the windup and elbow to Naz's face during the wolves series.

    PP: Are Niko Medved’s Gophers an NCAA tournament team?

    The bad news is the team is unlikely to have anyone as talented as Cade Tyson. The good news is that it's unlikely that injuries are going to deplete the roster down to six playable guys. The tourney will have 76 teams next year and Medved can coach. Unless he puts together another putrid...

    Spurs vs Knicks Finals Thread

    It helps that the Knicks have a big man who can pull Wemby outside. Wemby really has to hit the weight room, particularly his lower body. When the defense will be unable to push him out of the low post it will be like a fifth grade basketball game where one kid is six feet tall( and...

    Time to look ahead.......what is your plan?

    Lore supposedly is trying to develop some utopian city somewhere. Maybe he'll move the team there.;)

    Time to look ahead.......what is your plan?

    I'm all in favor of public money, if that's what it takes to keep the team. 100%. However, I don't think there will be much of an appetite to fund a new building. The argument against (beside the usual widows, orphans and school kids) is Lore and ARod bought the team for literally twenty cents...

    Time to look ahead.......what is your plan?

    KC and Pittsburgh, to name two markets, have larger smsa's than OKC, SLC, NO, MEM and MWK. As you said, KC has a building. There are lots of places they can go if Lore and ARod don't get a deal to their liking here. I'll be thrilled to be wrong but my guess is it starts a year or so from now...

    Time to look ahead.......what is your plan?

    Curry is built sturdy and Brunson is built like a tank. That compensates for the lack of height. Ja had unicorn skills which compensated for his lack of height. Those skills are in decline because he's too small. I didn't know about Murray.
