Timberwolves

let's rock

trees r back

Wolves in Denver for Christmas. Like the matchup, but the game should be in Minnesota.

Jaylen Clark outstanding on-ball defense + steal + lob layup off the backboard, wow

Joan Beringer monster weakside block, wow

Enjoyed the read. Obviously bias, but I would have thought wolves would have been losers if they lost Reid/Randle or had to badly overpay for them. With all the young guys chomping at the bit for playing time, feel like I dont mind running it back with a full summer of healthy guys to improve

FROM SHAMS:

BREAKING: Three-time NBA All-Star Julius Randle intends to sign a new three-year, $100 million deal to stay with the Minnesota Timberwolves, sources tell ESPN. The deal includes a player option for the 2027-28 season.

Think there’s a good chance Nickeil Alexander-Walker gets more than the midlevel when the market opens. A lot of interested teams for him out there.

FROM SHAMS:

Just in: Minnesota Timberwolves' Naz Reid intends to sign a new five-year, $125 million contract to stay with the franchise, including a player option, sources tell ESPN. Critical agreement between the Wolves and Reid's agents, Sean Kennedy and Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports.

Rocco Zikarsky will be on a two-way contract with the Wolves, per Dane Moore on X

Sources: The Minnesota Timberwolves will select Rocco Zikarsky with the No. 45 pick of the 2025 NBA Draft.

The final haul for the Wolves in the trade with the Suns for 31, per sources:
- 2025: No. 36
- 2026: lesser of DEN/GSW 2nd rd
- 2032: better of PHX/HOU 2nd rd

The Phoenix Suns are trading up for the No. 31 pick from the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2025 NBA Draft tonight with an eye towards selecting Rasheer Fleming, league sources told @hoopshypeofficial.bsky.social.

FROM SHAMS:

The Minnesota Timberwolves are trading the first pick in tonight’s NBA draft -- No. 31 -- to the Phoenix Suns for No. 36 and two future second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. Suns continue rebuild by moving up to 31 and 41 in draft -- send out 36, 52, 59 and two future seconds.

As excited I am about the draft, news of Naz Reid opting out is a bummer. Sounds like we still want to re-sign him but this makes it harder. Hope we can still make a deal!

Sources: The Minnesota Timberwolves will select Joan Beringer with the No. 17 pick of the 2025 NBA Draft.

Yeah they got Kevin Durant, but we got Jaden Mcdaniels #wolvesback

RandBall: Chris Finch addresses Knicks’ interest, isn’t watching NBA Finals In a wide-ranging KFAN radio appearance Tuesday, the Wolves head coach touched on many key issues. Michael Rand gets to those during today’s 10 things to know.

Don't feel bad if you aren't watching the NBA Finals. Timberwolves Chris Finch isn't, either.

"I haven’t watched a single minute of it,” Finch said on KFAN. “It’s very hard to watch the round after you are eliminated."

Finch is a wolf for life #wolvesback

The Steps Anthony Edwards Took to Get Here Ant is known for his swagger, not his subtlety. But the best aspect of his game might also be the most overlooked.

Anthony Edwards has some of the best footwork in the NBA. It's drawn fair comparisons to Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. The big difference is, at only 23 years old, he might already, somehow, be ahead of where they were: www.theringer.com/2025/05/28/n...

WWWWWWWWWolves win! Crazy Minnesota is 7 wins away from winning it all. Need another game like this Monday! #Wolvesback

I feel like both teams feel confident going into 2nd half. Fun game so far! Hope refs let both teams play more 2nd half #wolvesback #nba #okcthunder

Anthony Edwards coming back out of the tunnel.

2025 Western Conference Finals

Thunder have had an incredible season. 68 wins in the regular season.

Wolves are 30-6 in the their last 36 with Julius Randle in uniform. That's a ... 68-win pace.

Wolves will HAVE to keep TOs down in a way they haven't all season. Naz, NAW, DDV have to hit 3s.

Will be live-tweeting Game One here at Bluesky tonight. Twitter for Game Two and back and forth from there.

I'm so pumped for tonight. The first of many playoff battles between these two teams. Let's hope it goes 6 or 7 games eitherway!

The Stunning Transformation of Julius Randle For years, opponents could count on Randle stopping the ball and steering his own team off course. Now, the best defense in modern NBA history will have its hands full just slowing him down. What happ...
