The Timberwolves don’t even look competitive after making a gigantic trade for Rudy Gobert. It’s not surprising because that franchise has been a mess for years but this is a look at why they can’t succeed with any young star and if Anthony Edwards’ career will suffer.

I dunno what they were thinking with Rudy 😂 every casual fan could of told you how bad that was lol
-
Imagine if the jazz send all of minnesotas picks back to them for Anthony edwards 😂
-
The Rudy trade is a NBA 2K plug and play trade. Seriously if you add Rudy to last year's roster in 2K the Wolves get real good immediately in simulation and it looks like that was the research the Wolves did to validate getting Rudy and unsurprisingly that's the only place that trade works out in a good way.

I swear, Tim Conelly is a double agent... Or even triple agent... He did favors to Jazz and Nuggets with that Gobert trade...😂
-
Hope AE does great in his career
-
Forgot about Kevin Love leaving and winning a ring!
-
This is why bad teams shouldn’t be rewarded with higher draft picks. It just creates teams that are chronically mismanaged where good prospects go to die
-
so basically, every major rookie star the wolves get, when they leave they win a chip
-
Interesting video, and it's not just bad drafting and bad trades that causes Minnesota problems with winning, it's also the fact Minneapolis isn't a desirable free agent destination for star players in the off-season, especially with their brutal winters.

Love your vids keep it up ❤

I'm a Wolves fan. It hurts so much. I'm only still supporting this team because of Ant.

Edwards is one of the only stars under 21 who's been to the playoffs 2 years in a row. He has vets ilke Mike Conley and Kyle Anderson etc. to guide him and excellent young players like Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid, Nickeil Alexander Walker and Josh Minott to grow with him. The trade was an overpay but the floor of this team is raised to get Ant to the postseason every year. Ex: even though they had significant injuries, they made it to the playoffs this year. Ant will likely have 7 years of straight playoff experience before he even enters his prime. Not many young stars get that. Doesn't sound like hte team is ruining Ant because they are doing the opposite of prior Wolves rosters - they are trying to win. KAT, Wiggins etc. were surrounded by losing and turnover. This is different. Many young stars are on tanking or rebuilding teams whereas Ant has vets to guide him and consistent playoff experience. That sounds pretty good to me.

A a timberwolves fan I agree with all of this. We never winning a chip lol
-
I’m from Minnesota and I instantly fucking knew this was about us. I HATE OUR FRONT OFFICE AND MANAGEMENT
-
Really enjoying your content lately. Keep it up king
-
I wouldn't expect anything less from the Franchise that literally told Kevin Love he's bad because they can't carry them to the Playoffs lmfao
-
Gonna be a banger 🔥🔥🔥
-
It's tough too because the Wolves live in the large shadow cast by the old Minneapolis/LA Lakers, & KG's number isn't retired still so they don't have good karma on their side
-
Gobert has played 2 full seasons, last year's playoffs, the Euro tournament AND this season... With NO time off. Then factor in that Chris Finch is not a defensive minded coach and Rudy has had to learn a new system. He will be a force again next season. Finch will get fired and Towns gets traded before next season.
