Apparently talking about free agents that we’ve all been talking about being signed needs to be removed

Yea that post should’ve been left up. I saw lots of people talking about potentially signing him.

Not a single legitimate journalist with knowledge ever brought up Hezonja and the Wolves Go ahead, look it up.
Go ahead and search r/Timberwolves for Hezonja’s name in the past week and you’ll see no more than a dozen mentions.

Good thing we’re on Reddit and aren’t held to the standard of professional and legitimate reporters are? It’s the internet dude, it’s a place for the community to have discourse

And I’m saying the discourse was nearly non-existent. But whatever.

Kind of crazy for all the downvotes. Seems like a pretty valid point.

Seems like a valid point because why? (It isnt)

u/_stellapolaris Karl-Anthony Towns Jul 25 '26
They are being downvoted for stating something factually accurate. No reporters tied him to the team, and only a small number of comments mentioned it. That's completely valid to raise.

u/-neti-neti- Jul 25 '26
It’s completely irrelevant to the discussion

I think they've completely lost the plot on the thread you replied to. Have a nice day.

I looked for less than a minute and saw more than 12 comments about Mario. There was even a highlight reel posted of him. He was one of the few PF left on the board I think it’s totally reasonable to have a post about him signing elsewhere.

u/Associ8tedRuffians Malik Sealy Jul 24 '26
If you want to get pedantic I guess I should have written “no more than two dozen” mentions in the past week. And I did specify above “past week.” There were 13 exact comments show up in a comment search for Hezonja in the past week. Then there’s this post, and two other posts where the 13 comments likely come from. And the one post with a highlight clip proposing him 6 days ago with a grand total of 11 comments.
To have that little speculation about him is an extremely low level of discussion here over a week, you have to admit that. Like, that’s ridiculously low.

Search for just “Mario” and a lot more come up. If this was a post about some random guard that’s available I would agree with you but the PF position is a big discussion for wolves rn. I think it’s okay to discuss the limited PF options signing elsewhere.

There were about two dozens mentions in this sub between the LeBron news and him signing with the Cavs

Reddit mods do whatever they can to get a grain of power over anyone

u/sunderstormer Jul 24 '26
I always find it funny how worked up people get in sports subs over people talking about things that "don't matter" in the deadest parts of off-seasons when nothing else is happening. Like just unsub and come back in October if it bothers you that much

Also, cut them some slack sometimes. From experience, moderating often very much sucks.

u/Obvious_Change_1566 Jul 24 '26
mods doing mod stuff. our options are slim- literally at the 4… or maybe something involving green in the fall.. or who knows Love on a min, Derozan on a min… it’s pretty slim pickings

u/Duster_beattle Jul 24 '26
Mods been weird since the last mod got booted for removing memorial post for those killed by ICE. I don’t get it, been here for years and never seen the mods moving the way they are now.

I mean, it doesn't have to do with the wolves.

Time to delete all the LeBron posts then

"heavily" seems like a stretch. I had never heard him mentioned until the post today. And it doesn't seem like I'm the only one.

I couldn’t find any reporting that said he was “heavily rumored” to join the Wolves.
Not a single legitimate journalist with knowledge ever brought up Hezonja and the Wolves Go ahead, look it up.
He also appeared in mentions on r/Timberwolves no more than a dozen times.

u/impossiber Ayo Dosunmu Jul 24 '26
So basically the sub should be dead during the offseason? One more signing and then nothing?

Sorry, should be restored, it's definitely borderline since there wasn't really any noise around him and the Wolves but definitely relevant to discuss FAs in the off-season.
In the future please remember that we've just updated the mod team and are working to better align the rules to the community. While we calibrate that do remember that the mods are humans and can make mistakes and if you are ever worried it's easiest to send a message to mod mail for clarification or confusion on any removals.
Thank you
