His body language made those stats empty. remember how everyone thought he was doing it to show how he was a leader?

Well something is definitely going on with him, and since he's a leader that's so open an loves to speak his truth I'd like to know why the team turned on him. Everyone pretty much said eff your stats and Ant is the captain now.

Part of this is on Finch. Our offense is a lot of 1-on-1. No cohesion. KAT needs to get better looks. Our offense generates none for him. You know someone like Rubio would ensure he got touches and open shots.

I like a lot of what a Finch says, but he may be over his head. Even under Ryan our offense wasn’t a problem. Finch has made it a problem.

Chances are this offseason we have a complete housecleaning. New front office. New coaching staff. My guess is KAT moved (unless we and KAT are willing to be agree to a $200m extension, which I don’t see happening).

during a timeout he just wasn't engaged with the team at all. also the first one to get up and walk away while Dlo was speaking to everyone.

I agree, but instead of KAT folding I would have rather he say "GIVE ME THE EFFING BALL".

Hmmmm….but his Twitter was hacked. I’m sure he’ll star elsewhere, but it’s not happening here. Move him for a ton of picks/young players. Embrace the tank this year.

Towns in the post is an automatic offensive foul. Dude has no awareness at all

Lots of fans are so done with Towns.

This is 100% Anthony Edwards' team. Only a matter of time until KAT is dealt imo

I genuinely think KAT needs to get out of Minnesota tbh.

After all the **** he's been through off the court in the last couple of years, he just doesn't quite seem the same on it to me. This team isn't going to get anywhere as currently constructed. I'd look to deal him closer to the deadline and try to build around Ant and whatever we get in the next 2 drafts.

Wolves have to win a few games to trade Towns for anything better than pennies on the dollar.

Damn Gersson Rosas trade is killing this Minnesota Timberwolves team. Golden State Warriors laughing smh

where'es the guy that said Westbrook was worse than DLo

Hey...your team actually looked pretty solid tonight. Ant is the real deal and should be who Min builds around. KAT played exactly how I expected him to. As talented as KAT is, Min should just use like Korver was...inside out game and let KAT do catch and shoot on the perimeter. DLo should be coming off the bench as a microwave scorer...and if the microwave isn't working, keep him on the bench because he's a net negative overall. Let some of those young guys get playing time and develop.

Feels like the names thrown out there are Wiseman, Jaylen Brown, or Ayton. Wiseman has the highest ceiling, but we'll be getting him and probably a bunch of FRP that will be extremely late in the draft.

Wiseman is a bust, I say hell no to him.
Ayton also will be overpaid for being an slightly above average center. Wolves need to stop building around a center. I think teams that are disappointing that may want to add Towns and have some interesting assets are Atlanta and maybe Toronto?

Yeah, it's hard to sell fans on the potential of Wiseman. I think it's too early to call him a bust, but he's got a long ways to go to be respectable. But the potential is there. If we do get rid of Towns, he's a good option to have to grow along Ant.

For the Hawks, it'd be something like Collins/Okongwu/FRP's, which isn't bad, but it doesn't have any high upside. I'm a big Okongwu fan though (wanted him in the draft).

Charlotte- unless they're giving me Melo I, there's nothing intriguing. Bridges and picks isn't worthy of KAT.

I guess over all I shouldn't be too picky. I mean, you never get equal value when you trade away a star(?) player.
