Wonder if all those people who got Naz Reid tattoos are regretting that decision?

Good season for Minnesota, a lot to be excited about. No drastic moves needed, but perhaps a supplementary perimeter scorer to act as a pressure valve for Ant would help. All of these guys have room for internal growth as well.

Cheer up, Wolves fans. It's a process. The Nuggets lost to the Lakers in 5 in WCF before they launched. TWolves made big strides this season, and If the team remains healthy, they can make more.

To be fair to Minnesota fans, this is the best season they've had in 20 years. There hasn't been much to cheer for and quite frankly it wasn't their time yet. Luka and Kyrie are on a mission and are ready to tear heads off.

Quite frankly, they'll be better next year with some adjustments and it's really nice the fans showing appreciation for their team. Then again, Luka becomes a monster in elimination games: see Lil Wayne and Devin Booker. Now it's Snoop and Minnesota.

Really looking forward to the Dallas-Boston match up.

I think they'll still have a farewell tour of sorts next year, right? Don't think the contract ends till after next season.

Cuban selling the team is wild. So odd to see this random dude get handed the trophy.

I didn't know Fin was in the Mavs' FO! One of my favorites when he was playing; I'm happy to see him doing well.
