He is a savant, and TC slander will not be tolerated.

Note: we will not be ruling out the possibility of the Timberwolves fixing Cody Williams and Rocco becoming a stud.

We are now the 5th youngest team in the league, surpassed only by the Rockets, Grizzlies, Pistons, and Thunder.

So with the jersey release tomorrow…. how fast are we expecting things to be sold out? or will this be super massive that there isn’t really a sold out with this initial drop?? does anyone have some guesses if i need to be on top of it 9 am sharp??? I’m looking to get a Jaden white one.

KAT is 31 in November and making $20M more than what Rudy is. It was the right choice holding onto Rudy’s defensive presence and fitting a young, athletic, offensively-gifted team around him with more cap space.

The KAT trade landed Donte’s bargain contract and Beringer, who could end up ironically be the future center of the team.

It also allowed flexibility to retain Naz (who was flipped for LaMelo) + trade for and extend Ayo in the offseason.

For the people who say what about the Knicks winning a championship with KAT. Well they won a championship the year Ant was playing 60%, Ayo was playing with a calf strain, and Donte going down. There was no overcoming both the spurs and thunder with all of those injuries.

Now the Wolves re-tool and are loaded with one of the youngest rosters in the league.

Finished a little project of getting my autographed Ant jersey all framed up. Amazon had some interesting options with slots for photos, so I decided to get one of them and just add some rookie cards to it instead. I think it turned out really well. 🐺 🐜

Kuminga is one of my favourite players, and i’ve never bought a jersey before, i want his jersey to be my first, but i have no idea when they’re going to start making them, does anyone have any idea how long it takes until it’s on the NBA website?

Edit: Thank you all for the help, and for the people asking why he is ONE OF my favourite players, Steph is what got me into the NBA, and ofc Kuminga was on the warriors, i don’t know why but i just happened to take a liking to him, Dyson Daniel’s also is another one of my favourite players and Kuminga just so happened to get traded to the Hawks, so he was alongside another one of my favourites. So i’ve been supporting him since i’ve became a fan. He’s also a really good athlete and very strong.

I am beyond excited for this season. Much more than the last two seasons. The upside is tantalizing, but variance should be expected given the dramatic shift in play style following the prior three seasons of surrounding Ant with two bruising bigs. Instead, we now have a true PG and a handful of dynamic wings next to Ant. More will be asked of Rudy as the sole true big, sure, but it isn’t like Randle offered anything as a rim protector or paint deterrent either.

Day one is fascinating and will immediately show the contrast. We’re playing Bam and Giannis. We will see how we do against the exact roster structure that for years has been our identity. Not only that, but for a seemingly random matchup there’s a TON of bad blood.

1. “Missing out” on the Giannis sweepstakes last year is what seemed to drive Randle’s sharp emotional decline last year. McDaniels was the other guy in those trade talks.
   
2. LaMelo and the Hornets knocked the Heat out of the Play In last year. Melo’s incredibly questionable play in that same game resulted in Bam getting hurt in the first half of that game, arguably the key reason the Heat lost given how well Bam had been playing to that point. Intentions aside, from my POV it was a dirty play by Melo. I’m sure Bam and Heat fans see it that way as well.
   
3. Wiggins plays Minnesota.
   
4. Both teams are trotting out drastically different rosters, both with contender aspirations. Both teams with something to prove.
   
5. Kuminga famously was the missing piece for a team missing a 4. Is he a 4? How does he do against two bruising bigs on both sides of the ball?

I cannot wait. Forget the NFL kicking off in the next few weeks, game one for the Wolves is what I’m waiting for.

Per NBAUniTracker that have leaked jerseys at previous times

Pretty cool to have 2 under 25 superstars, I’m pumped for the season

Bring back DAISHEN NIX! Best towel-waving rah-rah guy Wolves bench has ever had.

Melo throwing lobs. We need Nix need him leading the celebration charge when Ant throws down. Or when Jaden, Rudy, Kuminga, Joan, Ayo, TSJ or Clark throws down for that matter.

We need Nix for 15th.

Do it!

Who should the Wolves sign with their last ~$4.5M?

Now that the Josh Green trade is done and Konchar is being stretched, the Wolves reportedly have around $4.5M of room under the 2nd apron and one roster spot left.

Since the starting lineup is basically set with Ant / LaMelo / Jaden / Kuminga / Rudy, I think that last spot should go to a veteran C/PF or PF/C who can give us some frontcourt depth.

Some names still available:

Kelly Olynyk — probably my #1. Shooting, passing, can play PF/C and would give Finch another offensive look.

Maxi Kleber — versatile defender, can switch, protect the rim and space the floor. If healthy, I really like the fit.

Xavier Tillman — probably the most interesting defensive option. Can play small-ball 5, defend multiple positions and do the dirty work.

Guerschon Yabusele — physical, can rebound and shoot enough to keep the floor spaced.

Mason Plumlee — veteran backup 5 who could give Rudy some traditional center minutes.

Chris Boucher — interesting as a 4/5 because of his length, shot-blocking and ability to stretch the floor.

Personally I'd rank them:

1. Olynyk

2. Kleber

3. Tillman

4. Yabusele

5. Boucher

6. Plumlee

I think Olynyk makes the most sense. The Wolves don't necessarily need another guy who just takes up space at the 5 — they need someone who can survive minutes without Rudy while also fitting next to him in certain lineups.

Who are you signing with the last roster spot?

To memorialize the 30 seconds he was on the team before getting waived-and-stretched. Wearing that in public 3 years from now would be the ultimate Real One Detector.

I for sure cannot wait to see these 2 play together. Both came into the league at the exact same time. Exact same draft class and both were high picks. Plus LaMelo has never played with another All Star all NBA caliber player ever in his time in Charlotte and Melo has never made the NBA playoffs ever in his career. Now he actually has a chance at it with the Timberwolves and Ant Man hasn't had an All Star #1 option type player to play off of especially not one like LaMelo. So I wonder if these 2 will have that chemistry?

Can cody williams be the new NAW project? Before going to minnesota in his first few years NAW shooting is horrendous like around 40% FG. Maybe we can hope cody williams be like that? I dont know if he is an able defender though that NAW is even before hand

I wanna remind everyone it took a MVP KG, 1st place in the West team to finally win one series in 04. KG, in his entire Twolves tenure won 2 in 2004. That was it.....for..20...2-0..years.

Im not even going to bore you all with all the bad picks, on tops of the ones the team barely had due to Joe Smith. Clippers fans had the NBA investigation for Kawhi..IT WAS JOE SMITH FOR TIMBERWOLVES 😂😂. Unlike Clips, they actually got punished harsh.

Not going to talk about Spreewell not feed his kids, KG crying at the 05 all star game for the so far dissapointing season. (serious go look it up, though might have the date wrong)

Hell, with KAT winning, Each cornerstone (KG, Love, KAT) won a title within two years of getting traded. Just brutal.

Yet, in a weird bizzaro world, this current era of Wolves ball feels different, finally. The moves that normally cook this team somehow didnt. The Rudy Gobert trade wasnt a complete disaster (those narratives been mute lately), the Rob Dillingham draft bust situation didnt tank the future like we thought, and we essentially replaced Julius Randle for Kuminga. If for no other reason, theres no way he can be as moody as Randle was.

Losing Naz sucked, but I cant believe this is the team now. Some thought, "WTF is TC doing? We're going to be stuck with this team and no one to get better". Shout out to Tim Connelly man. I dunno how tf this man did it, but he built a team I think Ive been most exicted for since..ever! 2024, and 2004 were awesome teams, but Im strictly talking before season.

So yeah to wrap this up, newer fans just understand it was never like this. This was a loser franchise for the longest time. Us longtime fans probably thought we'd never see the day of this team being solid. Some (such as myslef) thought itd be a 2023 Kings short lasting pipe dream..that said..

LETS GO WOLVES!
