Layman was a starter at the beginning of the season and seemed to be a decent fit for the team, but the former Maryland Terrapin has only seen the court fo...26341Sun, 16 May 2021 15:00:15 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/what-the-wolves-can-take-away-from-the-knicks-success-this-season-r26337/Who are these Minnesota Timberwolves that emerged from shame and utter mediocrity to mold into a product that appears competent and structured? In late April, Chris Finch’s squad took out the top-seeded Utah Jazz in back-to-back games, causing many to foam at the mouth while pondering how the hec...26337Wed, 12 May 2021 14:30:36 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/what-anthony-edwards-can-learn-from-jimmy-butler-r26336/Jimmy Butler, a man who once put pep in the step of Minnesota Timberwolves fans, has become its most infuriating instigator. Just the mention of his name is enough to make fans see red. The Timberwolves’ organization and its on-court leader, Karl-Anthony Towns, clearly make Butler feel the same wa...26336Tue, 11 May 2021 14:00:47 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/could-josh-okogie-or-jarred-vanderbilt-be-starters-next-season-r26334/The Minnesota Timberwolves are not tanking. On Sunday night, we got to see what a tanking team really looks like as the Wolves blew out the Orlando Magic, 126-96. The Tragic Magic team that took the floor was an affront to NBA basketball, but I get it. A team with Markelle Fultz and Jonathan Isaa...26334Mon, 10 May 2021 10:30:14 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/a-tale-of-two-seasons-for-anthony-edwards-r26329/Anthony Edwards is awesome, and it still doesn’t matter to me whether he wins Rookie of the Year. A month ago, I published that piece about the Rookie of the Year race. Since then, so many things have happened. This week, we learned that Edwards won his second Rookie of the Month Award. Thus far...26329Thu, 06 May 2021 10:30:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/will-ricky-rubio-finish-out-his-contract-in-minnesota-r26325/There are worse contracts in the NBA than Ricky Rubio’s. He is due $17.4 million next year, but he’s a serviceable point guard in a point guard-driven league. Contracts with just one year remaining get traded for all the time, but for some reason, Ricky’s feels like it will be hard to move.

I like to debunk the lies that mainstream media has been feeding to NBA fans. I do my own research. Today, I come to you with a nugget of knowledge that this flat world might not be ready for. So, activate your Bill Gates microchips and huff some chemtrails, because you’re in f...26323Mon, 03 May 2021 10:30:27 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/ranking-former-wolves-players-for-fit-r26315/Let’s begin with this: As a fanbase, we may have lost sight of what is important. As much as we want to make these final weeks of the season feel significant for what the future Minnesota Timberwolves will look like — and to some extent they are — to do so is to ignore the current reality: The Wo...26315Mon, 26 Apr 2021 14:00:58 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/the-wolves-need-to-win-to-keep-golden-state-from-getting-the-pick-that-they-want-r26304/The Minnesota Timberwolves remain at the bottom of the conference, still a half-game behind the Houston Rockets. Many Wolves fans have been complacent because they want the highest possible odds at a top-3 pick, but keeping that top-3 pick isn’t as simple as it sounds. Here’s a look at the lotter...26304Thu, 15 Apr 2021 10:30:06 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/what-is-josh-okogies-future-on-chris-finchs-wolves-r26299/On bad teams, there are always players that find a special place in the hearts of fans. They are usually described as gritty and tough. Your uncle might like them ‘because they leave it all out on the court,’ or ‘put their body on the line.’ They are usually a second-round draft pick or even an u...26299Tue, 13 Apr 2021 16:00:58 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/the-importance-of-age-for-the-minnesota-timberwolves-r26298/In the past five years, the roster of every team that has competed in the Finals has had an average age of 27 years or older. But in their 32-year history, the Minnesota Timberwolves have only had an average age of 27 or above 12 times. Also worth noting: The Wolves have only made the playoffs ni...26298Sun, 11 Apr 2021 14:30:45 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/could-we-handle-jalen-suggs-in-a-wolves-uniform-r26295/Ask anyone who has a friend from Minnesota, and it likely won’t take long for them to tell you that Minnesotans love telling anyone and everyone that they’re from Minnesota. It’s like no matter where we are in the world. We’re contractually obligated to blurt out our hometown and how far away it i...26295Fri, 09 Apr 2021 10:30:06 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/what-gersson-rosas-knows-r26294/Gersson Rosas has been part of an NBA front office for a long time. He knows that everything comes down to winning. You can miss on draft picks and contradict what you say with your actions. As long as the team you manage wins, all will be forgiven. Rosas preached family when he took the Minnesot...26294Wed, 07 Apr 2021 15:00:35 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/espn-shortchanges-ant-on-their-top-25-under-25-list-r26293/ESPN came out with its annual “Top 25 under 25” players in the NBA list ($) on Tuesday. Usually, these lists always get chopped apart and ridiculed. What usually doesn’t happen is an ESPNer absolutely shredding and discrediting the article, which is exactly what Stephen A. Smith did. https://twit...26293Wed, 07 Apr 2021 11:00:55 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/the-wolves-lead-the-league-in-comebacks-and-thats-not-a-good-thing-r26292/Last week’s optimism can be this week’s letdown. Such is the life of a Minnesota Timberwolves fan. Without a win over the New York Knicks that involved being down by 19 points at one point in the third quarter, this week would have been without a high-water mark. I suppose we could call the almost...26292Sat, 03 Apr 2021 13:30:14 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/does-jaden-mcdaniels-deserve-all-rookie-honors-r26291/Jaden McDaniels has been balling out, but what does he need to do to attain the illustrious Second-Team All-Rookie honors?

Malik Beasley recently returned from suspension and figures to be a piece of the Wolves’ plans. Karl-Antho...26289Wed, 31 Mar 2021 11:00:29 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/the-star-potential-of-jaden-mcdaniels-r26287/The Minnesota Timberwolves had a weird weekend. First, they beat the Houston Rockets by pulling off the greatest comeback of the millennium. Nothing like a 22-0 run to get your blood pumping. Then on Saturday, Houston got every one of those 22 points back as it routed the Wolves, 129-107. I was h...26287Mon, 29 Mar 2021 10:30:02 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/ricky-rubio-transformed-himself-as-a-shooter-to-break-out-of-his-slump-r26286/Can you smell that? There is a slight optimism in the air. A fresh, rejuvenating scent that usually only comes around once a year for Minnesota Timberwolves fans, if we’re lucky. Usually, a cynic can plug their nose and push through, seeing the short-sightedness of the feeling in full knowledge th...26286Sat, 27 Mar 2021 14:30:04 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/dont-forget-about-naz-reid-r26284/For the first time in what feels like forever, there is some real excitement around the Minnesota Timberwolves. At just 19 years old, rookie phenom Anthony Edwards is finally showing flashes of his superstar potential. Chris Finch has the offense humming since the All-Star break. In the last eight...26284Thu, 25 Mar 2021 11:00:54 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/will-dlo-and-beasley-returns-make-ant-more-efficient-r26282/There are roughly 30 games left in this year’s shortened NBA season, and the Minnesota Timberwolves are still dead last in the standings despite the progress they’ve made since Chris Finch took over. They are 3-4 in their last seven games, and despite having $40 million worth of salary not playing...26282Wed, 24 Mar 2021 11:00:51 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/what-will-the-timberwolves-do-with-ricky-rubio-r26280/For a good but not great player, there’s been a lot of attention paid to Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio lately. Before we get into what the Wolves might do with Rubio at the trade deadline, it’s worth noting that he’s a great human, his effort should never be questioned, and he’s...26280Tue, 23 Mar 2021 10:30:53 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/unleash-point-kat-on-the-nba-r26279/Since Chris Finch took over as head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves, we’ve seen the ball in Karl-Anthony Towns’ hands much more often. It turns out that when the offense runs through KAT, this team does not look like the worst team in the NBA. Under Ryan Saunders, the Wolves had an offensive r...26279Mon, 22 Mar 2021 10:30:34 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/how-do-dangelo-russell-and-malik-beasley-fit-in-when-they-return-r26278/This week the Minnesota Timberwolves played the Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Phoenix Suns twice, and somehow came out with a 2-2 record. Since the All-Star Break, they are 3-3. This feeling? It’s a Wolves fan’s sole source of sustenance — hope. But as any Minnesota sp...26278Sat, 20 Mar 2021 14:00:34 +0000
