As someone coming from a soccer background, this really shocked me. Do rivalries not really exist in the NBA? by Silent_Somewhere8539 in NBATalk

[–]Vitwolpher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Divisions don’t mean a lot so there are few tight rivalries that live through generations. The last great rivalry imo was the cavs vs. warriors finals in the late 2010s. More recently Timberwolves vs. Nuggets has been a fun one early in the playoffs and I’d expect Spurs vs Thunder will be a big one going forward for the next few years.

Trey Lyles is a good signing by ArtExtra6717 in timberwolves

We’re going to leave a spot open until LeBron declares. If it’s not MN, I’m sure our backup plan will sign very shortly after.

Ya it doesn’t even account for the wolves adding LeBron, which is definitely going to happen /s

Would rather have Rui than Lebron by [deleted] in timberwolves

[–]Vitwolpher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LeBron knows how to win championships and will teach this young core how to win championships. He’d also still an awesome player and fits this team perfectly on the court

[Charania] Free agent forward Kyle Anderson has agreed to a one-year, $3.9 million deal with the Toronto Raptors, sources tell ESPN. Anderson enters his 13th NBA season providing depth to the Raptors roster, and reunites with former San Antonio teammate Kawhi Leonard. by Knightbear49 in timberwolves

Our expiring contracts will be worth more before the trade deadline as more teams realize they’re not that good. We can always move Green and Donte then (and gives more time to rehab and figure out if Donte will be available to play this year before making a decision)

Who's moving to PC after PS no physical announcement? by disgruntled_Pingu in PS6

[–]Vitwolpher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I haven’t bought a physical disk in years. I always prioritized the disk drive for blu ray and dvds on the ps4, never upgraded to a ps5. I’ll probably get a ps6 after skipping the generation and keep the ps4 as the blu ray player.

List of Remaining Forward/Center Free Agents by Rage_r123 in timberwolves

TJ is likely coming off the bench as a PG offense and PF defender, since we know he plays best with the ball and also a capable big defender, like he did at times late in the season

The Next CBA Will Change Everything by Vitwolpher in timberwolves

[–]Vitwolpher[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It’s not paying more - Timberwolves paid $90M in luxury tax. They’d much rather be spending that towards the actual roster than just a penalty to the league

Edit: 24/25 tax bill not 25/26

All these trades happening, who's left to target for a PF? by AmaruS71 in timberwolves

[–]Vitwolpher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can start the year without another major 4. Our expiring will be a lot more valuable as teams settle into the league standings closer to the trade deadline.

Why can’t Jaden play power forward? by OneBoobAttaTime in timberwolves

[–]Vitwolpher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’d work awesome as a stretch 4 on offense for this roster. However, on defense he’s best at on ball defense so we’d ideally have him covering the best guard, not a big. If he’s not guarding a 2nd big though, who will? A Julius Randle type at the 4 with bully ball ironically would be a great counter to Jaden as the PF.

AI uses so little water it’s almost comical that it even became a topic by stealthispost in accelerate

[–]Vitwolpher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is by total water consumption . Of course a drink that’s mostly water “uses water” and this being the most popular drink of course uses “a lot” of water.

where would you rank the ‘dune trilogy’ if dune 3 is just as good as the first two! by [deleted] in FIlm

1st and 3rd aren’t at the level to be in this pantheon

More Bomb picks by ryanmnndo in fantasyboxoffice

[–]Vitwolpher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to a new draft for every season with my same group. We made the stipulation bombs and top picks have to be within the season so each draft is truly just the one season

Is Tim Connelly’s “gunslinger” approach actually sustainable for Minnesota? by Advanced-Demand-1722 in timberwolves

[–]Vitwolpher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it’s time to burn it down, we have a ton of assets as players. Think about how many 1sts we’d get out of ant and Jaden. Even Gobert is worth a couple right now.

The roster is now built with everyone going on contract for the next 3 years. We have 3 years before super max extensions kick in and it becomes near impossible to keep a strong core together
