From parts 3 and 4 it really sounds like Shannon is locked into the 7th man spot. I believe that is what they wanted from him last year, before he got hurt right away and than struggled. A lot of us were really high on Shannon coming into last season, so I've tempered my expectations on him, but it...

Will start by saying i am not a Kuminga fan. But maybe he can change my mind with THIS team. This season. Some say the best thing is if he can play himself into a 20+ million or so, aav contract after this season. Which in theory would make us win alot more games than last two seasons. Then we woul...

I agree that we probably give more attention to pressers than is warranted. But they are a first indication of a player's personality, and as we learned last season, "moodiness" can be a factor in a team's success. We've talked a lot about JK in this thread, but as much of a fan that I am...

https://www.hoopshype.com/story/sports/nba/2026/09/07/nba-2k27-the-slowest-players-in-the-league/91507386007/ According to this, Rudy isn’t terribly slow without the ball but he ends up among the slowest players because he’s slow without the ball. That’s fine for what he does. Note that Rocco is the...

I sure hope i can hold off suggesting to Finch until at least the All-Star break this year. The defense is far more important at this point. If Finch's free motion offense (read no set offensive plays) can score with all of the players that have been Wolves since he was hired, it should be fine wit...

I don't think we do really care, just something to talk about.

Yep!

My take was similar to Monster’s. I’ll add that I found Kuminga very engaging in a quiet way and I got a really good vibe from him. Mello sounded and looked like he didn’t want to be there at his presser. But Kuminga looked very content to be on that stage answering questions. He strikes me as a rea...

The Wolves won 49 games and finished 6th in the West last season. Assuming Donte doesn’t get back on the floor until the playoffs or the very end of the seasons, we won’t have Donte, Randle or Naz for the regular season. Those three are out and in their place we’ll have Ayo, Ball and Kuminga. In my...

So the Clippers suck again. That's good as long as the Timberwolves are in the Western Conference. Another billionaire is caught making his own rules. Meh. The $30M fine for Ballmer is equivalent (I think my math is correct) to $60 for a person worth $300,000. Which brings me to my real point here....

This one is puzzling to me, perhaps because I haven't really dug into what the Clippers did. But we all know many NBA players supplement their reported pay through other revenues related to advertising and endorsements. Do we really think Ballmer and Glen Taylor are the only owners that have ever d...
