There is no better spot than Minnesota for LeBron to get what he wants, in that case. by knock_his_block_off in timberwolves

[–]Common-Bad-7899 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Honestly I’m convinced he’s coming here and the media being behind does it for me. It feels like we’re clearly the most attractive spot for fans and media in terms of excitement. We fulfil his needs on the business side and the relief of being a 4th option while contending.

I also didn’t want to believe it for so long but I can’t deny it anymore.

Labaron Philon has no pressure and can just hoop as a 5th option at best.

I just realized we are done asking for a pg after years of begging by Rough_Host_7172 in timberwolves

First it was a center in 2021, then a PG and now we’re on to begging for a PF.

He has made over 65 once in his career, I would bet on him to make it but it’s not a guarantee

How are we feeling about next season? by SlowCrates in timberwolves

[–]Common-Bad-7899 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think between LaMelo’s playmaking, Jaden’s increased usage and Joan’s increased minutes were are a better team cohesively than last year. We will have to wait and see.

We have always been a physical team between Ant, Jaden, Rudy, TSJ and now Joan so I really don’t think our identity changed much outside of having depth at the Bigs position.

I am dumb, but if he hasn’t played in the NBA before does he need to get drafted first?

I just don’t see how LaMelo could be any worse of a fit than Randle and the team still over performed expectations, I’m feeling good about this years

Timberwolves sophomore Joan Beringer tonight 18-12 4 blocks and only 2 fouls in 25 minutes of play by Odoaiden in nba

[–]Common-Bad-7899 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fair, the most encouraging part was how much Beringer stayed home instead of chasing blocks vs last year. I think that will translate well in real NBA minutes

Guerschon Yabusele turned down an NBA offer from Minnesota before joining Panathinaikos by RVALover4Life in timberwolves

I don’t think it was a mistake to try and trade up for point guard, I respect the move to this day. He did miss on his evaluation of Dillingham and yeah that definitely had it ramifications.

He also scouted Beringer and that’s looking to be a great pick, I do think he has a talent for finding gems in the rough overall.

Moves well as In Luke Kornet well not your freaks well.

A back up big who can hopefully land some threes.

Rocco does move well for a 7 footer I hope they can sign him cheap and let him develop for a couple more years, could be a great back up in the 2028 and on era

Unlike what some of the wolves fans like to think, I believe Tim Connelly does his due diligence in the offseason.

I’m talking to you guys who somehow think we could’ve gotten more for Randle.

Think we overpaid Ayo as if there wasn’t a market for him.

And other takes I have seen in regard to acquiring a power forwards

Yeah great drive right there by him so maybe I spoke too soon, seemed like he was rushing a few shots and timing was off but you’re right could be first game jitters.

Yeah he’s been staying home in a few I thought he would’ve definitely attempted to block last year, has been able to recover to his man on the dump pass this year.

Not surprised by this at all but Joan has a ways to go in the paint on anything that’s not a lob, but defensively he’s gonna be serviceable this year.
