Minnesota Timberwolves

Once Andrew Wiggins leaves his feet, there’s almost no stopping him from scoring. But apparently, the Atlanta Hawks’ Paul Millsap didn’t know that or simply forgot about Wiggins’ insane leaping abilities as he tried to contest his dunk attempt during their game last night against the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves. And as a result, Millsap’s now [...]

As the NBA’s salary cap increases, so too will the use of the stretch provision. In a nutshell, the stretch provision allows teams to part ways with bad investments and ill-fit partnerships while easing the financial burden of dissolution. It works like this: Teams can waive a player and then spread the remaining value of [...]

Kobe Bryant knows that Kobe Bryant is old. At 37, the Black Mamba is playing through his 20th season, still a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, and now the only player in league history to spend two decades wearing one uniform. That kind of longevity provides perspective. You begin to appreciate the game more. [...]

Kevin Garnett has rookie Karl-Anthony Towns’ back. The 19-year-old Towns, who was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the first over pick in this year’s draft, was born a little bit after the 39-year-old Garnett made his NBA debut, and now they’re teammates, which is flipping cray and just out of this world.

Andrew Wiggins wouldn’t be Andrew Wiggins without his insane leaping ability. We’ve all had the pleasure of seeing him posterize a handful of players with his death-defying dunks during his rookie season. And now, heading towards his sophomore year, the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft is going to be even more fun [...]

For someone who’s battled myriad injuries and, as of now, doesn’t rank in the top half of his position pool, Ricky Rubio ambles his way into the NBA’s rumor mill quite often. While responding Bleacher Report’s Ric Bucher buying that the Minnesota Timberwolves would move, or at least shop, Rubio this coming season, ESPN 1500’s [...]

Jose Calderon is a snarky guy. That, or a totally honest guy. Trade rumors are once again dogging the New York Knicks, even though they have little to deal, because, well, they are the New York Knicks. This is what happens, and it’s usually worse around this time, during the dog days of summer, when [...]

In the NBA, unexpected heroics are cause for…severe skepticism. Corey Brewer hung 51 points on the Houston Rockets (his current team) as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves in April 2014. It was an electric performance, and the Timberwolves needed every last one of his 51 bones to squeak out a 112-110 victory. You can [...]

Long before the Minnesota Timberwolves actually traded Kevin Love, the prevailing belief around the NBA was that they were going to move him. It wasn’t a hunch. It wasn’t an inkling. It was a fact.
