Nikola Pekovic

Nikola Pekovic believes that his day with the Minnesota Timberwolves will come once again. Forgive us if we don’t share those sentiments. Pekovic has yet to play this season as he recovers from Achilles tendon surgery, and he’s appeared in just 85 games over the last three campaigns. Now, apparently, he’s nearing a return—one that [...]

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 [...]

Kevin Love is really good at pointing out the obvious. During an interview with GQ‘s Steve Marsh, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 2015 free-agent-to-be was of course asked about his future, which was of course tied to the Los Angeles Lakers, so of course Love was forced to address the issue and of course his response was [...]

Per Eric Pincus of the Los Angeles Times, Rubio not-so-subtly continues to hold out hope that the Los Angeles Lakers big man will wind up with the Minnesota Timberwolves: Pau Gasol has been loosely linked to the Wolves, primarily because [...]

The Minnesota Timberwolves are winning. Like really winning. Without Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio, and despite injuries to Brandon Roy, Nikola Pekovic, J.J. Barea and Chase Budinger, they find themselves nearly atop the Northwest Division, just behind the Oklahoma City Thunder. And just to clarify, no, you’re not dreaming. Somehow, in the face of not [...]

September 25, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors The Minnesota Timberwolves continue to solidify their suddenly potent roster. The T-wolves are set to sign center/ forward Lou Amundson to a one-year contract.
