Spot on. For Minnesota, after next season (2024/25) Reid and NAW can be free agents. This build with this specific group can only really exist for 2-3 years before they have to make moves on the margins. However, if my three guys are Ant, KAT and Rudy, I like my chances.
Of course, and that's the case with most teams flirting with contention. Celtics have Tatum, Brown and Porzingis making like 115m next season and that's before Tatum's supermax happens. Jrue and Horford are probably gone or retire, and Derrick White will be difficult to keep beyond next season. They'll probably have to decide between White and Porz, unless one or both of them take a big paycut. Even then, the roster 5-10 will be piecemealed together. OKC will have the same problem in 2-3 years.
I think it's good that the cap squeezes good teams. It should be hard to win multiple titles. I love the parity.
They just signed Jrue to a 3-year extension worth 30 million annual. Boston's tax bill will be ridiculous, but I think they are desperate to win a title. I get it.

They probably just fine him, but that was so bad. He should have been kicked out for it but I doubt they suspend him.

I’m sure we’ll hear ESPN bring up fantasy scenarios of if Edwards was in a Laker uniform how amazing that would be.

Flip was a great and very influential coach (KG always said he was the best coach he played under) and I realize Finch has big shoes to fill, but Finch to me does have a similar father figure role as coach that Flip had at the Wolves.
He definitely has championship winning potential in him imho.
I don't think managing two very talented but big ego players like ANT and KAT to co-exist and sync together offensively is as easy as it sounds either.
KAT deserves a lot of credit himself for seemingly to defer to Ant and realise he is the Robin to Ant's Batman.
The job is far from over though, and Fimch would be telling his prodigious Wolves that.
His humility is part of what I like about Chris Finch tbh.

DLO, Vanderbilt and seven 4th round picks!

Now +280. Get in while you can, or just keep on sleeping...

That's an unfair trade, Wolves would have to send McDaniels as well to even it out.

You leave the bench for a tiff, you get in trouble. Throwing **** at the feet of people in live gameplay? That's an actual possibility of injury.
I don't want him out but I cannot imagine why he thinks it's okay. "Frustrated because we're getting our ass whooped" is not a valid excuse.
