Yes, the Wolves lost the trade.
Yes, I would still make the trade. The Wolves were going NOWHERE with that core.
It’s okay to recognize this and be happy that Wiggins is playing his ass off.
The Wolves have had their chances all series long.
▫️Up 4 with 3:37 in Game 1
▫️Up 5 with 1:29 in Game 2
▫️Up 2 with 5:05 in Game 3
All series has come down to late game execution and the Wolves just haven’t had it.
First and foremost, I wanted to extend a THANK YOU to Andrew Wiggins. Times were not always the greatest, but he stayed level headed, and seemed like a phenomenal teammate. Wishing for nothing but success for Wiggins in Golden State.
I’m joining the recruiting efforts. Every day, I will have a tweet to try and get D’Angelo Russell to Minnesota, and I need your help. On each post, tag him in the comments below. (

LETS ROLL.
The fact that there are Timberwolves fans after the last decade+ shows something about this fan base and market.
Minnesota is a great NBA market with a huge fan base. Put a winning team on the court and the fans will show.
That tech on Ant is such garbage. Draymond and Curry have been yelling at the refs all night long.
Ant has a MASSIVE poster, screams a bit and gets a tech?
Come on man. Let fun plays be fun.
I have an important announcement.
It is with a heavy heart that as of October 20th, 2021, I will no longer be speaking Ben Simmons into existence. While I would love him on the team, we will be focusing on the players in the building and the task at hand.
PLAYOFFS HERE WE COME.
The Minnesota Timberwolves ranks over the full season (9-9):
▫️18th in offense
▫️4th in defense
In their first 13 games (4-9):
▫️26th in offense
▫️12th in defense
In their last 5 games (5-0):
▫️4th in offense
▫️2nd in defense
I’d also like to take a moment to thank Gorgui Dieng. Gorgui has given his all throughout his career in Minnesota, and he was truly a pleasure to watch this season. Best of luck to G in his future with the Grizzlies.
Today is the day. Don’t play third fiddle in Los Angeles. Do you want to be a part of a team’s backup plan? Do you want to be the scapegoat if things go wrong with the Lakers?
@Dloading
, the Wolves are right for you, and you are right for us. Let’s make this happen.
Zach Lowe on his podcast: “Minnesota is up to something. Minnesota is up to something.” Continues that the Wolves have communicated to the league that they believe they have a pathway to D’Angelo Russell.
#AllEyesNorth
The last time an 8 seed took down a 1 seed in the first round of the NBA playoffs was 2011 when the Grizzlies beat the Spurs in 6 games.
The starting point guard on that Grizzlies team? Mike Conley.
Let’s do it again, Mike.
The Wolves completely overhauled their entire roster in the last month.
Out:
Teague
Graham
Wiggins
Covington
Napier
Vonleh
KBD
Bell
In:
Russell
Beasley
Crabbe
Hernangomez
Turner
Vanderbilt
Evans
Spellman
Day Two. Bring D’Angelo Russell to Minnesota.
@Dloading
, you can play with one of the best big men in the game. Who knows, we might mess around and get Booker eventually too. 🐺🐺
This will be the Wolves starting lineup by the end of the season:
PG: Derrick Rose
SG: Jimmy Butler
SF: Luol Deng
PF: Taj Gibson
C: Joakim Noah
KAT will be a great 6th man. Can’t wait.

"I’m just curious what they are going to say at the end of that one. That was heavily contested but I think there was a lot of contact. Probably a rushed shot on our part but it just didn’t go our way.”
The Minnesota Timberwolves have not won since January 2nd. They would have the 5th best odds in the NBA Draft Lottery if the season ended today.
Times are tough as a Wolves fan, but I will always be a Wolves fan.
Biggest takeaway from Wolves open practice: Jaden McDaniels is going to make a big leap.
Dude was money from the corners all day and he will get endless looks from there.
Eventually you learn to trust
@JonKrawczynski
, who kept coming back to Kessler and Moore over and over today in writing and on radio.
What do the Wolves do? Grab Kessler and Moore. Solid work, Johnny K.
By the way, that game is the definition of why KAT gets so upset at not getting calls.
Embiid gets touched and it’s a whistle. KAT gets hammered and it’s not.
Sources: While Kevin Durant is progressing towards a return against the Wolves on Wednesday, Jaden McDaniels is also progressing towards shutting his ass down.
D’Angelo Russell carried that entire thing. Overcame the refs. Overcame the foul trouble. Overcame the back end of the back-to-back.
WE DID THE DAMN THING.
Getting Jacob Evans and Omari Spellman is no joke either. Both young players on very controllable contracts. I absolutely love this deal for Minnesota.
Wiggins may very well redefine his career with the Warriors, but it clearly wasn’t a fit here. Great work by the entire FO.
The Minnesota Timberwolves would not be in the playoffs if Rudy Gobert was not in the roster this season.
Don’t think they withstand KAT missing all those games without Rudy.
“When we played small in the Memphis series… I’m in there rebounding and I’m like ‘This ain’t that hard! I can rebound!’”
“I’ll never average four rebounds again… I look back now , I don’t know how that was possible.”

Day Five.
@Dloading
, Minnesota is the spot for you.
Celtics: You see how they treated Isaiah Thomas?
Pacers: Victor Oladipo is going to be the main ball handling guard.
Suns: I mean, come one? You can’t be serious.
Lakers: Wanna play third fiddle to the King and AD?
