Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert's trade value is at its lowest point, and the Timberwolves didn't get much of a sample size with their new starting five.
Which is exactly why they should run it back next season
Draymond Green on who should replace Steph Curry in the All-Star Game:
“If I had a vote, I would probably put Anthony Edwards in”
Via: The Draymond Green Show
JJ Redick & Trey Murphy on Anthony Edwards:
“…I think he can be a great defender, a phenomenal 2-way defender along the lines of Kevin Durant or Giannis or I think Jayson Tatum is an elite 2-way player. To me I think he’s potentially a guy we talk about as being a top-5 player”
The fact that a 21-year-old is going to fly to France during his offseason to work on his chemistry with Rudy Gobert speaks volumes
Anthony Edwards wants to be great and showing the maturity and effort to make that happen. Minnesota really got lucky with this one
JJ Redick on Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves:
“If Anthony Edwards can be that guy, all of the sudden you’re talking about legitimately like a conference finals level team.”

Can’t believe there’s Wolves fans, players and the media taking shots at KAT. If he fought Draymond, he would be ejected and possibly suspended for further games
Instead, he let his play do the talking and dropped 33 and 11. It’s not a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of maturity
Draymond Green on Ant and JMac:
- “I think Minnesota thinks that they have a superstar in Anthony Edwards, and by the way, I believe they do”
- “I think they’re expecting McDaniels to take another step forward, which I expect he’ll take another step forward”

NBA Win Share leaders last season:
1. Nikola Jokic - 15.2
2. Giannis Antetokounmpo - 12.9
3. Joel Embiid - 12.0
4. Rudy Gobert - 11.7
5. Karl-Anthony Towns - 10.3
The Timberwolves have two players in the top-5

Anthony Edwards and Nickeil Alexander-Walker’s comments on Naz Reid’s Instagram have me thinking he might re-sign with Minnesota
Or at least I hope that’s what it means
Pretty cool to see Karl-Anthony Towns at Jordan McLaughlin’s high school jersey retirement ceremony
KAT could have easily went to Cabo or wherever for the All-Star break, but he took the time to go out to California
Austin Rivers asked Karl-Anthony Towns if he sees himself as a one-team guy like Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki, and this was his response:
“I would like to be.”

It’s wild that every national media podcast skips over the Wolves when they talk about the playoff race. MN has been injured all season but have the same record practically as Dallas, GSW, etc.
Who’s to say that a healthy Timberwolves team can’t make any noise?
Draymond Green genuinely doesn’t understand why Minnesota fans are chanting “Draymond sucks”
Green doesn’t even talk basketball, he just talks about his agenda to spread hate
DEN should and deserve to be favored over MN, but I think the Wolves have a real good chance at beating the Nuggets:
– No Naz or McDaniels last postseason and made things interesting
– Ant has taken another leap
– Two center lineup is a lot better this year
– DEN bench is weak
This is gold 😂😂
Mike Conley says you have to pay attention to detail and not go home and play video games. KAT immediately walks in and asks to play Call of Duty 💀
It’s the norm for players like KAT and Gobert to go elsewhere in the offseason and they’ve worked hard enough to do so…
But, it’s really cool to see Jaden McDaniels and Anthony Edwards working out in Minnesota. It’ll payoff in the long run
Timberwolves remaining 6 games:
– @ Phoenix
– LA Lakers
– Portland
– @ Brooklyn
– @ San Antonio
– New Orleans
If Minnesota goes 4-2, they should lock up the 6th seed at a minimum
Bleacher Report remains one of the dumbest sports apps. They listed Anthony Edwards as one of the 10 players in the NBA that needs to step up
He’s done nothing but step up for this team
I also love seeing Karl-Anthony Towns being one of the first guys to Ant’s side when he went down and to carry him to the locker room
He’s an A+ teammate and always has been
I just made a dinner bet with my friend that the Timberwolves will finish with a better record than the Lakers
Am I going to be eating for free? 👀

Tim Bontemps on the Timberwolves after adding Rudy Gobert:
“I think you can make an argument that this Minnesota team is a better version of what Utah has been. Which has been a 50+ win team the past few years.”

Chris Finch on Jaden McDaniels ankle:
"Certainly not going to be day-to-day"
Said he's going to get some tests done today and will be more week-to-week.

Phoenix Suns' 13-time All-Star Kevin Durant (sprained ankle) is progressing toward a potential return to action on Wednesday vs. Minnesota Timberwolves, barring any setback, league sources tell
