    All Things 2025 Minnesota Timberwolves Off-Season Thread

    I don't want 37 year old KD for even one year at $50-60M. Fool's gold. Don't even think about it.

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    It's not the right thing to do if the folks who never thought he should have been hired in the first place and/or were not enamored of the job he did as a coach take another opportunity to whack him on social media. He doesn't owe anybody anything. Additionally, I think it was coolhand who...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Timberwolves Off-Season Thread

    The biggest player in the off season might be a 5'4" 75 year old named Mike Bloomberg. If he really is a member of this purchasing entity with some say in the management of the asset, they will have the cash to upgrade the roster. If not, they are undercapitalized and won't have the money to...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    We were the perfect opponent for OKC. A dribble dominant, one on one, low ball movement team.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    In a way Ant did solve it. OKC decided that Ant wasn't going to beat them. He had two guys on him at all times on the perimeter and the defense completely collapsed on him in the paint (plus Rudy was in there). DDV, Jaden and NAW were wide open and he found them some of the time. Dort is...

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    To my knowledge Holtz, Gutekunst, Wacker, Brewster, Kill, Claeys, Monson, Tubby, Mega Tongue and all of the WBB coaches (except Whalen) never gave interviews after they were fired.

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    That's been rehashed a million times and has nothing to do with whether or not he should make a public statement.

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    I purposely left the Twins off of my list. They often keep their fired managers in the organization.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I don't know enough about shooting to comment on his form. By NBA standards he is weak. I think they liked his quickness enough that they were willing to overlook his lack of strength, size and defense. I suspect the team struggled for long enough this year the Finch didn't feel he could give...

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    I'd like to express my gratitude to you for not starting the thread. I'd also like to thank you for your five posts on this thread speculating, complaining, "advising," criticizing and demanding that Johnson make the right kind of a gesture to be welcomed back into the fold. Much appreciation...

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    You are arguing that he MUST say something. He didn't meet your needs as a hoops coach and he isn't meeting your needs by not expressing gratitude for the opportunity to not meet your needs as a hoops coach. The Johnson era is over. Find something else to complain about

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    Years ago it was probably the right thing to do. Not anymore. Now he just opens himself up to more ridicule. The right thing to do is meet all of the obligations of his contract. In the future, if the university thinks a "thank you for the opportunity" statement is appropriate upon...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    The wolves were swarmed all night. Consequently, they rushed their shots and it showed in the shooting percentages. OKC's defense is elite. The wolves are also playing stupid basketball, led by DDV. Rudy. Should. Only. See. The. Ball. Above. His. Shoulders. Period. I was listening to the...

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    If Johnson ever did make a statement the folks on this board and the rest of social media would slam the hell out of it, regardless of what was said. Why would he bother?

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Ant hanging around flailing his arms after every non call while the ball goes the other way not only doesn't help his cause, it hurts the team. That's not smart. Naz and DDV were doing it too. From what I read and saw, Finch said the players need to focus on the game because SGA is going to...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I seriously doubt any NBA front office personnel, coaches or players would call SGA a "manufactured star" or "pretty smart," but you can. Like it or not, there are three guys on the floor who are going to have something to do with the outcome and the wolves have to do a better job of getting...
