I’m saying 41. They’re going to depict Minnesota as a .500 team. The only way they’d change that is if Minnesota has a fantastic offseason.

We lost so many games this year that we should’ve won. I mean we’re pretty good Vs the top 4 seeds Vs each conference.
0-3 PHX

4-6 Memphis

2-2 GS

2-2 Dallas

2-0 Miami

1-1 Bos

1-1 MIL

1-1 Philly



Inthink if dlo is moved for a significant piece next to kat and we see good leaps from ant/mcdaniels it’ll be 45-46. I expect us to be just as good as Memphis next year. Maybe cp3 retires and Phoenix comes back To the pack. Need to be better than Denver and Dallas

50+ Ws. Teams coming out mad next year

[shangrila]

40.5

[King Malta]

I went 50, but that's because I think the press and punters are going to heavily buy into Anthony Edwards stock this off-season.

Good comments everyone! I really have no idea how this is going to turn out!

This is what I know. Vegas sets the line based on whatever will generate the most action, but most bettors don’t know much about the Wolves. A huge amount of their perception about us will be set by the media, and I don’t know what story they will write.

I mentioned in another thread that ESPN made a late season effort to pump up Memphis, after rampant accusations that they only covered five teams in the NBA. Ja Morant was always mentioned in MVP discussions, even though he had no chance of catching Jokic,Embiid or Giannis. Zach Lowe did a one-on-one interview with JJJ, talking about how he could become defensive player of the year. ESPN moved a lot of its NBA operation to Memphis for a week in March.

Could this happen to MIN? Anthony Edwards definitely has star power. Or will they continue to talk about us as knuckle headed losers after the way we gave up three leads? I don’t know what the storyline will be on the Wolves, or if we even get one.

I think expectation/excitement about us has gone up. The playoffs are the biggest stage and the wolves have a good showing. A lot of eyes have opened to Anthony Edwards and he will drive a lot of attention. I can see .500 if everything stays the same, if we add a significant piece I could see it being a little higher.

People wont see us as a total lottery team anymore going into the season. I also suspect we will have more national games, like a total of around 5-10 depending on what changes are made. I think people will have an appetite to see this young wolves team.

I was thinking 45, so I voted 44

[moss_is_1]

I said 47. Not sure why, just feels right.
