We’re going a to see a ton of this talk. AD makes 58.5 million. Timberwolves would have to trade Rudy + Ayo and a minimum contract to match that number. Unless you’re getting picks back I’m just not sure why you’d take on the injury risk of AD at 58.5 million by trading two great players. Not to mention, AD has a player option for 62.8m next year. You think he’s turning that down for less money to stay in MN? I don’t believe Minnesota can afford to take on his contract even if you come up with the salary match. It’s way too early in the game to turn on Rudy.

Stat pull of the year so far. Foul trouble was frequently brought up as a concern with Beringer. It’s a small, but encouraging sample.

Who made you president of the nickname board?

The Cleveland is landing haymaker after haymaker on the Timberwolves, yet Minnesota keeps hanging in there like a mad man to land a haymaker back. It’s going to come down to who’s got the better closing 5 tonight. First opportunity for Minnesota’s new look lineup to get tested in the clutch.

Joan Beringer….

Okay…. But what about the roster after you trade guys to get him? You don’t get to just magically make him appear on the Devils. This argument has so many holes.

I was really concerned about Lyles in the preseason. He looked slow and I was already weary of playing someone that came from outside the NBA minutes. He just didn’t look like he was playing at an NBA pace. Through 3 games, I was wrong. Really smart player who does the little things. What a nice scouting win for the front office to identify a skillset in a different league and have the confidence to bring him back over and play him.

Ignoring every other possession in a game because you saw a highlight that confirms your preconceived notion is not analysis.

Pretty hilarious stat considering what the majority of the Timberwolves existence has been.

I wouldn't mind resting him. The team is blowing the brakes off their opponent, and they have some guys on the bench who deserve playing time, like Bones and Clark. Keep Ant healthy and trust the depth you've built.

This Timberwolves starting five doesn’t just have a ton of size, athleticism, and talent — they actually fit together extremely well. There’s always been talent, but it’s felt clunky at times. This team feels different, like they could be far more consistently great because the pieces are finally more than the sum of their parts.

Pretty telling how much Finch trusts Kuminga already. In Orlando, when Banchero got up from the bench, Finch would wave for Kuminga to get in the game. Same thing tonight, Scottie Barnes checks back in the game and Kuminga comes running in behind him.

Congrats @whatsontapnba!

Really happy for Naz to get his opportunity, but it’s bittersweet. It’s kinda insane watching former bench players of Minnesota in Naz and Nickiel breakout at their next stop, and it truly puts into perspective how good Minnesota was the last few years. Especially that 2023-24 team when everyone was bought in defensively.

Jaden definitely learned that lesson!

What if Saquon isn’t as washed as we think…

I’ve got a feeling the 2026-27 Timberwolves are going to warrant a “We’ve come a long way, friends” series from @KyleTheige

If you’ve got a few minutes, this is an awesome read from Jon.

Kinda sums it up.
