    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...

    Reusse: Niko Medved returns to U with advantages over predecessor, fondness for Clem Haskins

    We'll never know if Johnson could have been halfway decent because Coyle kept insisting that he was doing NIL "the right way" at the time. According to Reusse, the gophers are now at about $6M. The top programs are in the $7-10M range. Better than it was, but still a ways to go.

    Reusse: Niko Medved returns to U with advantages over predecessor, fondness for Clem Haskins

    The best part of the column was Reusse's comparison of Coyle at the beginning of NIL to Calvin Griffith at the dawn of free agency. They both "abstained from digging for dollars."

    The guy I want at 17 or 31 is Hansen Yang. He looks like he has big upside.

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Timberwolves Off-Season Thread

    I don't want a 37 year old who plays 50 games a year signing a one week extension. We are already stuck with Rudy for way, way too long. Everybody talks about how Rudy cut the wolves a break. Who else was going to give a 32 year old who does one thing that can't be easily replaced $105M in a...

    Buss family agrees to sell Lakers to Mark Walter at $10B valuation

    Glen must be spitting mad. Lore and ARod aren't going to have a friendly audience if they ask for public money to build an arena for what is now probably a $4B asset that they purchased for $1.5B.

    Shama: Medved is a popular hire as the new men’s Golden Gophers basketball coach. That won’t translate immediately into big crowds at The Barn though

    Scheduling a halfway decent home non con schedule in his first year was a layup and Medved clanked it. We aren't asking for much. Disappointing.

    Winning and a competitive home preseason schedule. People are not going to show up for Southeast Northeast Westeast Columbia School of Mining. It's insulting.

    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...

    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.
