    All Things 2025 Minnesota Timberwolves Off-Season Thread

    It's nearly impossible to speculate on roster changes until we find out if the Lore/ARod ownership group is willing to pay luxury taxes or if rumors are true that they want/need to get below the base Salary Cap. Outside of Ant, I'd be willing to move anyone for the right deal. It will never...

    How would you grade the Timberwolves 2024-25 season?

    I went with an "A" but only because "A-" wasn't an option. After the KAT trade, I gave this roster zero chance to make the WCF this year. Our start to the season was mediocre at best but our finish was strong after this group became more cohesive. We beat the shit out of the Lakers which for me...

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    Alex Condon opting out of the Draft and returning to the Gators. They'll miss Clayton Jr but they could be even stronger this year.

    According to "reports", Lendeborg is getting $4M from MI for one (1) year of service.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    Yaxel Lendeborg withdraws from the NBA Draft and will play for MI this season. Another example of a guy that can make more in college than as a later NBA 1st Round Pick. It's difficult to compare our transfer class with that of MI without seeing the huge disparity in talent...and cash being spent.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Jalen Williams also made the All Pro Third Team which I believe makes him eligible for a Max deal and an extra $15-20M more against the annual team salary cap on his next deal. This is what primarily triggered the end of KAT's run in MIN.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Fair enough...I agree that Haliburton certainly isn't as ball dominant and crucial for their team success as the other two (2) guys.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    The LAC traded SGA to OKC. SAC traded Haliburton to IND. DAL let Brunson walk for free in FA to sign with the NYK. Crazy stuff. I haven't seen enough from Dillingham to feel comfortable about him taking over the reins on a championship team. Connelly most likely needs to pull a PG out of his hat.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I do...but Hali also shares the backcourt with Nembhard, Nesmith, Mathurin, Sheppard and McConnell. This drives down his Usage Rate because of the competency of their backcourt depth. It's true that not as much is asked of Haliburton compared to SGA and Brunson. It's also true that when it...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Three (3) of the four (4) remaining teams have an All NBA ball-dominant PG that runs the show and allows their teammates to work freely within the constructs of their offensive schemes: OKC - Shai NYK - Brunson IND - Haliburton To utilize Ant as our primary guy bringing the ball up the court...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Derrick White is the perfect fit for the current roster but even with Tatum missing the 2025-26 season, it's unlikely BOS blows up their roster. I haven't watched him play much but a lot of people really like PG Egor Demin from BYU in this Draft and he could be there at 17. I'm hoping we grab...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Garland is likely the best PG that "might" be available and would cost us McDaniels...for starters. Garland also has his own flaws and can't stay healthy. Short of getting extremely lucky in the Draft, there are very few avenues for us to upgrade at PG that are more realistic than Dilly...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I think a lot us (okay...me) were lulled into a false sense of security at the PG position after trading for Dillingham. I know it takes time for Rookies to find their groove in the league but I wasn't expecting him to be completely irrelevant and unplayable by the time the Playoffs rolled...

    Some people are willing to pony up a lot of cash just to have something different. Prostitution is the oldest profession for a reason. Amsterdam is Gopher Country!!!

    NBA teams were 0-970 in the playoffs over the last 27 years when trailing by 14+ points with under 2:50 left in regulation. Tonight made it 1-970 🤯

    Amazing game...the entire building stopped breathing when Haliburton's shot at the end of Regulation bounced 6' in the air off the back rim before coming back down through the hoop. Sit down, Spike.
