The Timberwolves Just Swapped Kyle Anderson For Joe Ingles...

Did they get better or worse?

[@ChitFromChinola]

Ingles is like that old guy at your pick-up game who just stands outside and gets nothing but net.

[@ChiTownBoi-ql2rc]

😂

[@montagecrazy4u]

Damn wtf said exactly that to my friends lmao

[@RANDOMPLANET]

Well.. Ingles and Slomo at same price could be debated. Ingles on minimum and Slomo at 9m a year, there is not even close to a debate.

[@michiganlover12]

SLO mo is better but when you factor price is even, when you factor fit as well then Ingles is better for the wolves

[@nikoligiurimusic]

@@michiganlover12defensively yeah but offensively I think ingles brings the same high iq passing and much better shooting

[@lwrncschmchr]

Slomo was one of the first Wolves pick-ups to bring defensive intensity mindset to this team along with PatBev and they'll always have a place in the hearts of Wolves fans. But this was a needed move.

[@RJLKMRD]

I'm happy for Kyle Anderson, he's getting a better deal than he would have with the Timberwolves

[@stocktish2834]

yep. i hope he plays well for them. i think golden state's offensive schemes and pacing should be able to highlight some of his offensive talent better than we did.

[@shavis001]

[@sumwhatsolo3691]

@@stocktish2834 Would love to see slomo be a top 5 guy in golden state. Let's go Kyle!

[@jvostudio]

People forget Ingles is also a capable playmaker and a smart defender which perfectly fits Anderson role

[@ChiTownBoi-ql2rc]

He can hit threes too which Anderson couldn’t

[@Chris-of4fd]

We need to be a top 5 defense and offense to be a championship team. We can do that with Joe but not with kyle

[@kgtd2160]

As much as I loved Slo mo, Joe Ingles was someone I've wanted on the team for the longest time. He's a guy who can run the pnr and make great decisions. He already has great chemistry with Rudy. He's also a 3pt shooter somehow. Now his defense isn't as good as slo mo's, but he is a solid man and team defender. He's not gonna have those slo mo swipes/poke aways, but he's gonna stay solid. Overall great pickup imo.

[@Marcus-kc9wc]

The wolves always get guys way past their prime. but seeing as how he didn't play well for the magic can you say why he should take minutes over a guy we just drafted and isn't on the one year old jazz timeline?

[@kgtd2160]

@@Marcus-kc9wc because he has tons of experience and already has chemistry with some key players in rudy and mike? Also he can stretch the floor and be a secondary play initiator? Or do you think dillingham and tsj can do all those things consistently enough for finchy to play them over ingles? Of course they're gonna get some minutes but as a team with high expectations and in a super competitive west, i see little reason not to play ingles. We will see how he looks on the floor.

[@tinakane4451]

​@@Marcus-kc9wcwho are the wolves signing that are always past their prime? Ingles is a 3 point threat career 41% last yr almost 44% the wolves need more spacing and shooters, its exactly what the wolves need. Ingles can also get the ball to the playmakers.

[@Bruh-lf3sk]

@@Marcus-kc9wcI think it’s good. If that Shannon Jr struggles at least their is a bit of insurance in that position. Also I think we have a chance to get Minott and Miller some time on the floor and see what they can be on the big stage. Signing Ingles is not going to take those opportunities away. The Wolves with Edwards need to build a consistent contender and that means that guys around Edwards age range need to be able to show what they can do imo.

[@eanbenjammin2032]

His locker room stuff is the real value with ingles. Hard to find a better guy

[@coreyczech]

Leonard Miller might get a lot more minutes. Dude is a sleeper

[@mrsasshole]

Depends on if he wants to play some defense this year. I agree, there's a ton of potential there. But maturity and defensive intensity have been lacking. Given that the bottom of the bench is being emptied out to a great extent this off season, he's got a big opportunity in front of him.

[@JoshuaJohnson-pq7hf]

Love Miller!

[@TristanandIsolt]

If all you look at is losing Kyle and gaining Ingles we lose that swap. However, factoring in Dilly, Shannon and Miller we should be easily better than last year.

[@anaihilator]

Precisely

[@2403rygar]

I am a Jazz fan. You now have my two favorite ex Jazz players. Ingles is a ton of fun to watch!

[@dsl69]

Two? Do you hate Gobert?

[@VivaLasVegusNervana]

​@@dsl69 I'm guessing Conley didn't make the cut.

Who's the other, naw?

No better basketball commentary. Great explanation of the spacing issues.

[@Daveyjdigital]

Good video 🐺

[@oui0384]

Got better offensively but significantly worse defensively

[@Marcus-kc9wc]

Better offensive? He averaged 4.4 points. Unless there's injuries he shouldn't see the floor.

[@nickjohnson3087]

@@Marcus-kc9wcwhy not? If there’s one thing we could afford to lose was a defender and we needed a shooter which Joe is one of the best

[@joshuat7171]

@@nickjohnson3087 Agreed. Ingles will average 12-15 minutes a game and be a much needed offensive boost off the bench. Great move!

[@WolfMobileDev]

​@Marcus-kc9wc having two non shooters on the court is really rough, and it was seen all last year. Even if Ingles averages less points than kyle, their offense likely improves based on efficiency and floor spacing alone

[@Chevalier1632]

Joe Ingles has been one of the most consistent defensive performers his entire career, what are these drugs y'all take that make you think Kyle was a good defender?

[@jollygator9080]

Wow, slowmo really got the same steal on joker twice in these clips

[@michaelschlein8346]

GSW fan, and watching vids like this is interesting because it seems MIN and DAL both chose to improve by exchanging some of their top defense for offense to be more well rounded. GSW on the other hand added a lot of defense in Anderson, Melton, Quenten Post, and just not playing Klay and CP3

[@Dreweldeenknives]

I started carrying a SAK daily

[@JesseNorellMusic]

SloMo was Finch's safety blanket. Figuring out how to win without him is good for this team long-term. As for Ingles, he has had a great career, but he might be cooked.

[@citizen_cheeseman]

Joe played for the Aussies last night in a pre Olympic warmup against China, and if you looked at his box score, it was meh. Watch the game however, and its a different story. A clear win for the Wolves

[@discowolf25]

Everyone gonna hate us even more 😂😂😂😂

[@montagecrazy4u]

I mean we also got Terrance Shannon Jr. sounds like we sacrificed one spot of the best defense in the league for two shooters. Im not mad

[@FhillipFry]

Gonna miss slow mo.

[@Iamalachi]

Only world where it’s worse is if Joe suddenly becomes a shit or hesitant shooter

[@antisocialdave999]

The TWolves look spooky idk how my grizzlies gonna match up with the new Wolves/Thunder

[@bobbybobwellington]

I already miss him so much :(

[@bridesblade5307]

Love Jake's takes.

[@hitthegoat]

Better. Slomo was a pretty big disappointment the 2nd half of the season and throughout the playoffs. Ingles might actually provide a reliable threat from 3

[@leopoldoesquibeljr428]

Good trade

[@pouyang979]

Rudy's homie! Gang Gang

[@Gameover123.4]

Shannon is the defensive replacement off the bench - higher energy young guy who can understudy jaden and rudy to become a beast defensively

[@Creaky_]

I will not miss kyle, the amount of times i saw that man pump-fake a three point shot with NO ONE around him then proseed to drive in for a lay up/ floater just to miss or turn the ball over fucking killed me.

[@Ezbreezy305]

Great pick up.. respect the sniper now. And now TJ can evolve into a 2way as well.

[@OFRajaTv]

Pretty much swapping out defense for more shooting

[@jokernation2172]

Ingles is definitely great add I'm just shocked we got him for the vet minimum!! Definitely needed more Offense

[@PreachTMusic]

The moves made by My #Wolves are a big upgrade for the team! I have no they addressed the issues they had during their playoff run and are now in position to make the finals with the players they drafted and the ingles pick up! Everyone is looking at the mavs because of Klay Thompson and they will be a good team but he’s also on the back side of his career with kyrie Wolves 🏆🏀 2025 Champions

[@heinzbucksandcastle2053]

Kyle had no outside shot, and I will not miss him. Kyle took time from younger players like Garza who needs to play.

[@Serching4JerryGarcia]

Man… wolves could’ve really used Garza in the playoffs, if only he was ready.

[@HashimA-ti9gu]

😂😂😂 Garza. What's the obsession with Garza? All the Iowa fans are funny.

[@Serching4JerryGarcia]

@@HashimA-ti9gu I’m not an Iowa fan. I just think he could be useful if he gets more minutes and can produce.

[@politedemons]

damn

[@iwannatalktosampson5852]

Will give us better shooting but a worse defender & playmaker . Although I'd take him at the minimum over slo mo at 9 mill a year . Spacing will be improved curious if jaylen Clark can earn a role with him being a elite defender id say he's got a chance if he can be even a okay shooter

[@dougmaclennan8654]

Kyle was pretty good at driving into the free throw line and then faking/making passes around the three point line and/or shooting a short push shot.

[@nanagotham1590]

That was his only way of scoring unfortunately, by dominating the ball, and there isn’t much room for that in a 4out offense. Especially with Ant out there.

[@Hectorymusique]

you mau have miss, the art of pick'n'roll he's got, specially with gobert, he plays extremely well with him you can absolutely count on him for a lefty lay up after a gobert screen, and a pass/lob to rudy per game... (plus gobert, will help erase a bit what he's lacking in speed on D , because, he's got kind of the same BBIQ than Kile..)

[@sumwhatsolo3691]

I like the move but F*ck Im gonna miss slo mos game

[@mattevenstad2190]

How is his defense though?

[@lukelee3]

Warriors deserve him 😂😂

[@debrakraft4818]

Why don't we Timberwolves really look to get the very best, the tallest the best three point shooter that is all it really take Three point Tall players

[@adampepin9944]

Kyle is probably better but at least Ingles can shoot.

Ingles better! better shooter and won’t get in fights with teammmates!!

[@lukelee3]

He gets 1 steal every 3 game's

[@clownslayer4670]

I dont think it is for the better. Ingles is a good pick up but kyle was the hearth and soul of the team. Doing the dirty work and spacign the floor with his all around play

[@coreyczech]

Kyle's spacing was the problem. He would clog lanes all the time and defenders could double team someone else if Kyle stayed out by the 3 point line... It was a huge problem all year.

I have no idea what everyone sees in SlowMo lol. The dude was so painful to watch play basketball. Everything he does ruins pace. He is a big that can't big, can't defend in space, literally refuses to shoot even if it's a free throw, and didn't even pass well even though that's the one thing he's out there for. No idea why people think Kyle's defense was good, dude was helpless in isolation.

Horrible

[@Anatak2222]

Worse... Wtf are we talking about? Joe is done. Great guy but he's done. Why give him minutes that we should be giving to our rookie? Are we a vet or young team?

[@VivaLasVegusNervana]

We are a contender, so give minutes to who makes us win now.

[@hitman9198]

He literally got a veteran minimum deal. If you are right and he is done as you say than Garza and Miller will get more minutes. Not alot of options in the 2nd Apron. Could be worse
