Why The Minnesota Timberwolves WON'T Be A Playoff Team

[@benjamint1977]

[@getthiswork210]

Didn't these dudes like the Kat trade for Randle? Maybe I'm tripping, but just because you played in the NBA doesn't mean you qualify as a GM. Dudes win nothing in the league but sit on a couch and turn into Jerry West.

[@jamespowe8114]

[@chazkeeling6165]

Who won the trade in your opinion

[@idiots30]

@@chazkeeling6165 The trade was a salary dump by MN. It's not really a fair debate

[@anthonyjackson6190]

probably because it looked good on paper and now we're finally getting a chance to watch them play together. And obviously it's not going as well as Gil and everyone thought.

[@JudahiamKng]

Real nba fans who watched actual games would never picked Julius over Kat. Karl is an elite talent he’s on a different stratosphere compared to Randall. People thought because Randall was putting up similar numbers to towns that they were the same. Towns can actually shoot the ball and he’s great in the post. He took a back seat just so Ant could Eat. Wolves should of never traded towns they should of found a way to move Gobert

[@IndigoSamuraiii]

Based on the body of work I would understand why you might think they aren’t contenders but not a playoff team is either a lazy take or rage bait

[@penkima4923]

Don't see how that would be either. Doesn't matter what the team they had last season achieved. KAT is killing it for the Knicks, while Randle turned out to be that unprofessional player that the Knicks fans warned the Wolves about. And Donte regressed as a player the moment the trade happened.

[@IndigoSamuraiii]

Facts

[@christiansalas1066]

The west is stacked and super close. While 11th they still only 5 games behind 1st. From 6th only 1.5. Like it’s way too close to say anything. Compared to the east they match up with the 5th seeded bucks. It’s the west anything can happen.

[@penkima4923]

The West is close, so it's unreliable to say much based on the current standings. However, that doesn't stop from making predictions based on everything else. And, it doesn't look good for the Wolves.

[@10rtp]

Solid take my guy - if they don’t mentally implode they should sneak into the playoffs.

[@ryanwall1780]

There won't be any sneaking. Wolves will be 4th - 6th in the West, book it.

[@Rodsu]

I hear the points but I believe in Ant, I just got a sneaking feeling the chemistry isn’t going to work. Julius Randle still plays like he thinks he should be the first option and Gobert thinks he’s better offensively than he is lol

[@keshawnwilson9639]

I’m tryna figure out when did Gobert think he was an offensive hooper ? 🤣🤣🤣 all of a sudden he wants it on the block everytime lmao.

[@AndrewSchonnesen]

Watched most of the games...the wolves lacked chemistry and looked extremely clunky. However, the last three games their defense looks almost as good if not better than last year. Their win against the clippers wasn't a blowout it was a massacre....almost down by 40 at half.

[@10rtp]

Agreed. They are manic right now. One minute they are totally unengaged and petty. Next minute they’re flying around playing D like last year.

[@WheresWaldo05]

Our defenisve rating number is the exact same as it was last season right now. We are ranked 6th. Last year our rating was historic. Which means 5 teams ranked above us currently are in for major regression. Our offense is also currently ranked the same as last season. Easy to see why we easily make the playoffs.

[@84goat28]

Didn't know that. But I still think Randle isn't going to work and Don doenst need to b in starting rotation

[@WheresWaldo05]

@84goat28 Agreed. They have been putrid for us in my opinion. I still agree with the Kat trade. Just not this specific trade. Maybe it will work out long term. But i have more doubts than i did with the Gobert trade. I knew going into the Gobert trade that i had heard it takes 1 year to integrate playing with a player like Gobert. Randle and Donte should not take this long. Randle again tonight vs Spurs was terrible. Donte too.

[@84goat28]

@ agreed

[@jsn2482]

Nah yall are looking at it wrong…When Randle was on the Knicks remember when he was wildin and the team tried to calm him down he was cursing at his own team….now he’s on another team and I don’t think the team is responding to how he treats them
