Everyone will talk about Anthony Edwards for good reason but holy hell was TJ Shannon great tonight- 10 points, 5 assists, 5 boards and outstanding defense. Keep it up No. 1. Go Timberwolves!

Ten years sounds like a lot, but they guy is leaving the NHL's current darlings. The organization is dominating on and off the ice. You don't walk away from that and Miami winters for 1+1 contract. Arod/Lore did what they had to do, just like when they paid TC 8mil/yr.

Perhaps the WNBA equivalent of a Naz Reid Game is a Dijonai Carrington Game?

Anyone who says it’s dumb for the Timberwolves to just run it back, I give you the Minnesota Lynx. Chemistry and culture.

Jon K keeps mentioning Shamet. I’d keep an eye on him too.

I hope the second half of your day is way better than the first!

I always got the feeling that the Suns wanted Minnesota to agree to that package, but Minnesota was unwilling - especially after Durant said he didn't want to go to Minnesota.

Slo Mo can literally play every position in small doses. He would be a perfect 9th or 10th guy.

Add Cole Anthony and Dante Exum. Also, I kind of just want Amir Coffey even though we have players on the wing.

Someone said Bones is now too old. I do wonder about Newton. He can sign a second-year two way. This also means that JB will be up with the team most of the year sitting next to Rudy with Jesse and Rocco handling Iowa.

If my math is right, Lore/Arod should get around $25 million as Lynx owners after three new teams pay expansion fee. That payout could almost cover its Timberwolves luxury tax bill for Summer 2026.

I truly believe one of Tim Connelly’s best skills as a POBO is he’s a closer. He knows how to close trades. He knows how to resign players - some below market. I’m excited to see what happens over the next week. Naz Reid is just the start.

Thank you to every god in every religion. Two words. Go Timberwolves

Can’t afford them and stay under second apron with Naz/Randle coming back. It will be more like S&T to Hawks for one or two of there Cleveland seconds.

Can we hire Joe Ingles to coach Rocco Zikarsky with the Iowa Wolves???

He’s a PF and they already have a bunch.

I can’t see them drafting another center and Finch won’t play people who can’t shoot 3s. I would be surprised if TC drafted either.

I can’t help it. I like Kam Jones! I would like him on my Timberwolves.

Still like Kalkbrenner.

No Ball. Remember when Brendan Roy signed here after returning from injury the previous year. He played five games and was done. No way Ball plays a full season+playoffs

Okay I accidentally watched Walter Clayton Jr highlights and now I want him next to Ant for the Timberwolves for the next decade. I'm sorry Rob but I'm into the newest shining thing. I can't wait for the NBA Draft.

As a lifelong Timberwolves fan, I just can't shed a tear on the Taylors leaving, especially how I've seen things run since Arod/Lore got in the door. It's night & day. Yes, Glen hired Cheryl, but the cons outweigh the few pros. Too many bad days for my fav NBA team. Today's a great day in my book

Did the Suns just trade Durant for two shooting guards even though the best position for Booker and Beal is shooting guard?

With foreign guys it’s mostly my guy and he seems like Clark who were already have. I’m really into Kalkbrenner. He does everything you need from a big. I believe he could start next year for Minnesota and have a better year than Edey did.

No to Wolf, Queen, Demin and Penda. I like the others - especially Kahlbrenner. My dream guy is Bryant. Sorber and Newell would be home runs, too.

As a Wolves fan, I read the chatter on trades, some include Jaden/Naz Reid. It's fun but I can't stop thinking about the Lynx. Honestly, I was mad that Cheryl did nothing. Run it back What? Everyone in the WNBA got better. But sometimes when you're close, you run it back. Chemistry is real.

When Glen Taylor was Timberwolves owner: Oh crap, we're going to lose Chris Finch to the Knicks. We can't have nice things.
With Lore/ARod as owners: Whatever. Finch isn't leaving here for your crappy team.
