After a brief Russell Westbrook detour, our offseason podcast series resumes with the NBA’s most exciting young team. A strong finish to last season and the addition of the best head coach on the market have Timberwolves fans dreaming big. We know the Timberwolves are on track to be one of the league’s best teams someday, but is that day already here?
David Naylor and John Meyer, two editors at SB Nation’s Wolves site Canis Hoopus, join us to gush about Minnesota’s future and debate when that future actually arrives. Among the topics discussed:
- How did the Wolves actually nab Tom Thiboeau? Where will his impact be felt most with Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns?
- What does the selection of Kris Dunn mean for Ricky Rubio’s future? We disagree on the answer to this question!
- How did Thibodeau the executive do in his first summer?
- Where do the Timberwolves’ other young players (Zach LaVine, Gorgui Dieng, Shabazz Muhammad, Nemanja Bjelica) fit in?
- Will Kevin Garnett play one more season?
- Are the playoffs actually a realistic expectation next year? Is that even selling the Timberwolves short?
Next up in our offseason series: the New Orleans Pelicans.
