He would be perfect for the Wolves and I reckon they would be an amazing pairing

Maybe Durant could space things up and lead to more Ant drives. He needs to use that athletic ability while he has it.

There literally isn't a single player KD would be an odd pairing with. This dude can play with anyone.

I have no idea. When I think of the Timberwolves logo of the 2000s, I picture there being mountains in the background. I do know that it's cold as hell.

I bet you are thinking of the triangle tops of pine trees in the logo.

MIN calls it’s tallest features mountains, but if you have been to the Rockies, you would never call them mountains.


I’m Minnesotan and I’ve never called anything in the state a mountain.

Would be amazing to trade KD for Gobert for research purposes.
RealGM needs a case study to see if Gobert has any influence on team's defense and record.

Yeah, he was like 9th in the league in iso possessions per game last year, and then getting nearly as many running a PnR, which was effectively just another isolation for him. Between that, transition and spot-up shooting, you have the bulk of what he does. Much less cutting and off-ball screen usage than you'd expect. Very little corner usage from 3.

He attacks with a live dribble, with or without a screen, that's his game. And he's an absolute savage inside 24 feet, because of his release point, height and general proficiency.

Very interesting player.

And it's beautiful up there as well. Great outdoors and fishing.


Gotta get up there one day, preferably in the fall when the leaves change colours!

Yes! You'd love it.
Definitely in the fall as well.
