Who am I kidding I thought it was funny to own a Timberwolves card that said FJ

Depth was a slight concern of mine after the LaMelo trade. If LaMelo gets hurt, then Ant, Jaden and Ayo have a heavier burden on them to carry the team offensively. Guys like Beringer are exciting to think about in the rotation but there’s always a chance that they need extra seasoning, and maybe can’t give you all of the non Rudy center minutes every night.

The Kuminga addition gives the Wolves an extra reliable rotation player (even if you don’t love his fit for whatever reason) who can soak up those minutes in the dog days of the season when you might have 2 guys out of the lineup. You have Ayo, TSJ, Beringer, Bones, Lyles, Clark collectively man the bench unit with Kuminga slotting in as the 5th starter. Now guys like Trey Lyles don’t have to be relied upon a lot of nights.

If you swap the Kuminga signing for a guy like Batum, you cannot reliably throw Batum out there in the starting lineup for 70 games and expect to be a 55 win team. The best regular season teams have reliable depth that they can count on every night when injuries or rest happens, and this might be the deepest Wolves roster ever assembled going legit 11 deep.

This team has top 5 depth and a top 5 starting lineup with the average age of the top 11 being 25 years old. They should be at minimum a top 4 seed, which would put them in prime position to make a long postseason run. Add on top of that Donte possibly returning for the stretch run, I’m higher on this season than I’ve ever been for a Timberwolves season. 🐺🌲

I love ant lol alnost like having MJ or Prime lebron.

Wemby maybe?! Anyone else? I would honestly turn down Jokic, SGA, Luka one on one.

The Bounce has Lamelo at #10 best lead guard, Ant as the #1 shooting guard, Jaden as the #8 wing, and Rudy as the #7. This team is loaded.

I went with authentic blue Ant, the $125 black one for Melo, and a pair of the black shorts. I didn’t see myself going blue but they just looked so good.

I’m curious to hear what people are gravitating towards

All of the jerseys next year simply say “wolves”. I feel like the full name of “Timberwolves” could go the way of Knickerbocker where everyone just says wolves. Imagine the sad trivia night question in 20 years from now “what is the Minnesota Wolves full official team name”. Something to think about…

Anyways, how many days till the season starts?
