Mega Thread Minnesota Timberwolves Thread - The Finch Era begins

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Where are you reading this?
Why does it scare you?

Just seems to be a lot floating around twitter/mock drafts the past few days, along with a few reporters like Wolfson suggesting we're more interested in wings than any other position. Everything was on-board the Isaac-wagon up until last week where all of a sudden everybody started gravitating away from him, which suggests to me that there's some good info behind it.

Monk scares me because his weaknesses seem similar to those of a lot of our squad. His ball handling/distribution don't seem fantastic, and the last thing we need is another guy who will turn the ball over or shy away from passing. There also seems to be a number of concerns about his defence and I'm just not sure this core can carry yet another poor defender.

I dunno. It would be brilliant to have another sharpshooter and the people making this decision know an incredible amount more than I do. I'm just concerned that his style causes as many problems as it fixes for us.

Markkanen seems the late favourite for us with media types/twitterverse.

A trade of Rubio and 7 for Wes Matthews and 9 was reportedly discussed but talks have been abandoned for now.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Unfortunately I tend to agree with this.


Obviously both positives and negatives that come with it, though. We haven't done anything stupid yet, despite the opportunities clearly being there.

Good article about Markkanen's fit (or lack thereof) with us too.

Today terrifies me

Lavine, Dunn & 7 for Butler...
seems a bit over IMO

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

This is just a truly bizarre feeling.

And 16 yeah?

Over? We just traded for one of the leagues best and kept Wigs and KAT. I'm ******* stocked

Are u for real

U got a steal

 

[Upgrayedd]

Lavine will be a great player


But everything is to build around KAT. Butler is one of the best two way players in the league and a leader. Our defense has been average and Butler will anchor us.

Lavines ceiling isnt better then what Butler is

Exactly this. This is the massive for this franchise. Butler is a star

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Have him until the end of 18/19 at worst as well, with a PO for 19/20.

What does this do to our cap space?

Caps 99. Means we can give Wiggins 20M,

 

[AngryRanga]

Was planning to stop watching after #7, now the pick is about 6 hours away.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

18-22M free this season as well, should give us another solid vet + Bazz or a good vet. Pretty happy with that.

FA targets?

Who's ring chasing?

 

[Snake Charmer]

Trades even better with the magic taking Isaac

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

What's the play with 16? Point, wing, big? Biggest need for the starting unit is the four but the bench unit is devoid of wings. Never-ending Rubio noise makes it possible we draft a PG too.

Pick 16+Rubio for a package of shooters

 

[nike1]

are you guys welcoming new guys to the fanclub?

have always had a soft spot for minny,

 

[Upgrayedd]

I really want us to take Ferguson or Jonah Bolden

 

[Snake Charmer]

Take a massive punt on Giles?

 

[Collingwood pro]

Take a massive punt on Giles?

What happened to Giles? I remember hearing about him being an absolute star early on.

Huge red flags on the back
