The Minnesota Timberwolves are taking the NBA by storm and are currently the best team in the Western Conference. Anthony Edwards has taken the superstar leap, Karl Anthony Towns is finding his role as a star big man, while the Timberwolves trade for Rudy Gobert a couple years ago is proving to be a huge win for the team. The Minnesota Timberwolves have been losing for too long since Kevin Garnett was traded but now, NBA highlights are full of Anthony Edwards, KAT, and Gobert plays. But are the Timberwolves legitimate NBA championship contenders in a deep West with the Denver Nuggets, OKC Thunder, Dallas Mavericks?
Chris Finch has done a great job of utilizing the size and length of this TImberwolves team. Minnesota currently leads the NBA in defensive rating with the help of their core players such as Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid, and Kyle Anderson. But their main core of Towns, Gobert, and Anthony Edwards has been looking like a real NBA big three so far. Rudy Gobert in particular has been looking like an energized force on both ends of the floor for Minnesota. In this video, let’s look into how the Rudy Gobert trade went from being an NBA disaster to a huge win for the Timberwolves franchise.

Are the Timberwolves actually Legit Contenders? 🤔
I don't know because the thunder just beat the nuggets.🤯
we beat the thunder
@@hueyang5943
@@hueyang5943 but timberwolves already beat the thunder and nuggets hehe
Shipping out Deangelo for Connelly was just as important as getting Gobert
Don't forget they got NAW in that trade too.
@@hitman9198 And Kyle anderson
Conley solidifies the team.
He's very vocal & had past experience with Rudy. D-Lo rarely passed to Rudy (the lob is there 2-3 times a half) & he also was a defensive liability + all his stupid turnovers...
This team is huge and they play so fast... gobert and KAT are 7', jaden and naz are 6'9", KA is right up there as well. but the hustle they have all shown is pretty amazing for their size. They simply suffocate teams. What I've noticed is that they seem to start off the games a little slower, then they come out of the half fast and their defense really wears teams out. If they can pick up the offense a bit and start games a little stronger, they will be damn near unstoppable. You nailed it when you said that they have the highest ceiling, bc as good as they have played on defense, there's still so much more they can do on offense. If they put it all together, they will be putting the entire league on notice.
facts!
Yeah, I notice the Timberwolves start off slow, but they choke the opposing offenses during the 2nd half. They're like Muhamed Ali, tire out the opponent then strike hard and don't stop.
Still can't defend 5 out.
The years the Rockets won in 94 and 95 they would play the exact same way.
Good basketball teams seem to turn it on when they need to.
@@user-7I9gdym4jwe wear teams out, then make adjustments
National pundits in general have a had time talking positive about any teams not on the East or West Coast. I watch a lot of NBA coverage and it’s always the same, Boston, New York and Miami, Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers and Warriors and then they make the obligatory references to Denver and Milwaukee because they have recently won NBA titles. National pundits, didn’t get that KAT moving to the 4 position is really his more natural position as a defender and offensive player. Gobert allowed the Wolves to have three All Stars - Gobert, KAT and Ant on the floor last year which started out rockier a) Because KAT was injured the majority of the season and b) Mike Conley is a dramatic upgrade at point guard of D’Angelo Russell to ensure the entire offense thrives and Conley is a far better defender. National pundits are just not even paying attention to the Wolves or the nuances of the moves made, they are more up to date on Keeping up with the Kardashians than any NBA team in the middle of the country.
Let's be honest, no offense to Pat Bev, Jarred Vanderbilt, & Malik Beasley, but they are expendable. Hence why the Jazz shedded them for more assets.
The picks do matter, but the Timberwolves didn't straight give up a player of the caliber of SGA, Lauri Markkanen, or Mikal Bridges in the Gobert trade and yet that's the trade people think is the worst.
can't agree more!
Couldn’t agree more, the players they sent out weren’t going to make this team as good as they are now.
As for the picks, I guess it’s up to the Wolves. If they become a powerhouse for the next few years, those late first rounders aren’t worth much. Connelly also has done well drafting in the second round (drafted Jokic in Denver) so if he’s able to make the most of the second rounders they have, it would shape up to be a very smart trade
@@riroballs Yeah, sorry dude, but Leandro Bolmaro was no one's idea of a "key player". Dude played in 14 games for the Jazz, starting none, averaged less than half a point, and isn't even in the league this season.
Looking like real contenders specially with their really high net rating
Ant is a superstar!!
When MN will not be able to keep their big 3 together (new CBA), maybe they can trade away one of the 3. 🤷♂️
Depending how they do in the playoffs, they just might end up doing what the Celtics are doing and just pay the increased tax rate. No real reason not to if you can be a contending team
Your gonna make the worst trade in history........and totally redeem yourself lol
Cavaliers sent out as much for Mitchell who might walk this offseason and yet that trade isn't considered nearly as bad for some reason?
We the ones jack believe that
If they stay healthy and tone down the turnovers they unstoppable
Born and raised in MN and I still think it will end up being a disaster. If the Herschel Walker trade didnt teach any MN GM a lesson, nothing will. Maybe 2 first rounders, not 4 and 4 players for 1 person is absolutely stupid and will risk future years. Look whats happening to the Wild due to the Parise/Suter years. Sure, it wasnt because of a trade but because of the lack of cap they are screwed. To trade that much draft stock for 1-3 years of possible playoffs is just not worth it. If they win a championship, it could be worth it. But if we bomb this year, all down hill.
These are our guys!!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Watch them like a proud mom!!! ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
💪
Everyone last year called this trade a disaster.. Even "content crEaoTrs" like you. Funny how so many ppl like FLightMike, etc. removed their video bashing Gobert and Twolves from last year..
Had nothing bad about the Gobert trade back then actually. I love how Minny's front office took the gamble
for the minnesota twolves can win the chip this year if they can get one more piece to compliment their second unit just 1 piece a edward like playstyle..if they do mark my word the twolves can bring home the chip this season!!
Very possible
i understand why they gave so many players, but i still don’t understand why they gave so many picks ….. the package was probably good enough to get KD at the same year.
It was a disaster last year. Golbert is playing way better this year.
For real!
He was not at full health and was still adjusting to the system
Towns missed about 64 games. Why can’t no one acknowledge that Major fact ?
@@edwindennis6335 Timberwolves had a 15-14 record when Towns played.
Everybody is eating crow now until they start doing shitty again next yr and everybody will come out and say the same shit they said last yr
They went to the playoffs *3 times with kat
Good stuff 👍
The signs are all pointing towards the Timberwolves being for Real. They have the best defense in the league and they have a top 5 net rating. like you said they are all solid lengthy players.
Oh we back to hypin’ up Gobert based on regular season? 😂
We not hyping up. We giving recognition
I love how gobert defends with both lengthy arms
This video is to early have yet to see them perform deep in the playoffs
So everybody should just stfu and don’t give them props until 4 months until now gotcha
@@DakahriGT gracious amigo . Cause they definitely will look at the Roster budget if two early exits happen
Just like the jazz. Good in the regular seasons bad in the playoffs. What they gonna do against 5 out removing gobert from the equation?
You do realize the wolves have a deep team. Their top 10 is good. And they haven't been playing any of their draft picks the past couple of years. And those guys definitely have talent. Obviously there is gonna be miss matches. That's up to Chris Finch to correct
What a goober casual take, try harder kid
Wait for the playoffs you'll see. Jazz were #1 seed 3 years ago.
@WillToNihilsm What a dumbass response. The Wolves and Jazz are nothing alike.
Why are you posting this comment multiple times? You obsessed with the Wolves blowing it in the playoffs or what? Twolves roster is not even remotely comparable to the past Jazz rosters. Wolves have legit perimeter defenders up and down the roster and Naz Reid (a versatile big that can be called on if needed). Get this tired ass take out of here.
How to beat the wolves.
1. 5 out
2. Get rudy or kat switched onto a guard.
3. Rain down 3s
The wolves have Ant, Jaden, Kyle Anderson and NAW who all are way better defenders than what Utah had.
Watch all of their games. They are better than the what the Jazz were!
I guess you didn't watch the back to back wins against the GSW? Why do you think the Pacers that are one of the best 3 point shooting teams were contained to just 7 three point shots? The Wolves perimeter defenders are just too long and athletic.
The Wolves zone and M to M defenses smother and frustrate opponents.
Nope they let Rudy roam. Watch the games stop hating
Wolves have three of the best parameter defenders in McDaniels Edwards and Walker harder to hit threes unless you’re Steff taking 36 footers They are deep. They can insert there second team and lead actually increases with going on. Beating mavericks and pacers by 20 points in consecutive games. Remember they are getting use to playing with one another they not his thier stricter. That’s scary part they are progressively getting better week by week. This would be a great game of the week for everyone but national media Wolves vs OKC Thectwo best teams in west.💥 you know you are in a strong conference when your ninth seeded team has same record as eastern conferences fifth seed. It’s called depth.
@@blackwidowsm yeah jazz were good in the regular season too. Wait for the playoffs
