Would you rather have 5 elite years of Giannis & Anthony Edwards or 10 more years of Jaden? That’s the question Wolves fans need to ask themselves. Not many times can you get a top player of all time.

REPORT: The Boston Celtics have strong interest in Naz Reid in potential Derrick White deal, per sources
English
@jimcommander888 @sam_amick Would most likely be a three team deal. Probably some interest in Rudy.
English
@EvanporterNBA @sam_amick Who would we send out for White
English
The Timberwoleves have strong interest in Derrick White, per @sam_amick
White, who’s 31, was first team all defense & averaged 16.5 PTS, 5.4 AST & 4.4 REB.
Had a really rough shooting year with 39.4% FG and 32.7% from 3.
English
@Landonprice68 Well he’d be fired cause that would be ridiculous. I assume Ayo will still be back & Randle will be moved.
English
If Ayo goes back to the Bulls and they basically end up with Dillingham and Miller for free, and Randle stays with the team. Some serious conversations will need to be had about Tim Connellys future here
Fullcourtpass@Fullcourtpass
Ayo Dosunmu is open to returning to the Chicago Bulls, per @KendallG13 “I know Ayo, from my conversations with him this summer, would be open to [returning to Chicago]” (Via @thescorechicago, h/t @Bullsfans)
English
@Jasmywhale63203 That’s just speculation. They can offer him, but so can a ton of other teams with the MLE. I think Ayo will be back with Minnesota.
English
The No. 28 pick is very well in play to be traded, but I will be dropping a mock as well as my top wishes at 28. Stay tuned for that.
English
@ChristopherHine I think the biggest thing I’m looking at is DDV is an UFA after this year and is likely missing the whole year. Could that be a better reason to move him because he is a great salary filler in a deal. I’m a huge fan of DDV, but it makes sense if we have a deal in place.
English
Looking at the reasons why (and a few why not) the Timberwolves should consider a gap year: startribune.com/anthony-edward…
English
@Gnirps9 Shooting 36% from 3 with shoulder issues all year is impressive for a 6’9 forward.
English
@EvanporterNBA He was a warrior this season too. His shoulder was not healthy whatsoever. Ant, Jaden, and Naz are a great core even if you only looked at availability.
English
Naz Reid's Last Three Seasons:
23/24: 81 GP, 13.5 PTS, 5.2 REB, 41.4% 3PT, 24.2 MPG
24/25: 80 GP, 14.2 PTS, 6.0 REB, 2.3 AST, 37.9% 3PT, 27.5 MPG
25/26: 77 GP, 13.6 PTS, 6.2 REB, 2.2 AST, 36.2% 3PT, 26.1 MPG
Naz Reid has been available and consistent. He deserves to start.
English
Bones Hyland was a great regular season piece for the Timberwolves.
In just 16.6 MPG, Hyland averaged 8.5 PTS & 2.6 AST while shooting 38.8% from 3.
He wants to be back in Minnesota, and I’d assume it would be around a minimum deal.
English
@MCDANlELS Yeah no worries. Just didn’t want people to take it the wrong way!
English
@EvanporterNBA lol not blaming you I saw the original tweet nothing you can do about that. Just complaining about the quotes
English
per Evan Porter and I’ve seen this be quoted 100 times now

Ja Morant is a “very likely” option for the Minnesota Timberwolves, per @EvanporterNBA
English
@DraftDeeper Really like the Christian Anderson jump. Seems like he’s shot up draft boards post combine. Could really be a microwave shooter & a great facilitator at the next level. Also has a great vertical for his size.
English
@companeromarcus Not in college lol.
1: I wasn’t expected this to be reposted

In my bio I mention I’m not a certified reporter. Just wanted to be clear!

lmao how did a college kid's post get aggregated

You have people aggregating podcasts out of context from 2 weeks prior. Accounts aggregating accounts that aggregate accounts.
Not to mention the posturing via social media some of these national guys pass off as reporting
English
I might just fuck around and try to get aggregated at this point

@twolvestalk32 @couldbepatrick Was just giving my take on Ja. Not a report!
English
@couldbepatrick I’m crying dude he didn’t even pose as a real reporter this time
Evan Porter@EvanporterNBA
I do think Ja Morant is a very likely option for Minnesota. If he can get back old form and you insert Naz into the 4 spot, I don’t mind that lineup. Would love to get Cam Spencer back in a deal. Randle and Donte would be the most likely package.
English
@BlackHoleSun64 @PhilMackey How? Trae Young admitted he liked the young core in Washington. He’s most likely going to re-sign on a long term deal to help with cap.
English
Maybe. That’s the likeliest scenario.
But other teams can get involved now.
And in the absence of actual Timberwolves info — of which there’s been very little — we’re left to ponder hypotheticals.
Welcome to Reckless Speculation SZN.
Evan Porter@EvanporterNBA
@PhilMackey No. Trae Young is going back to Washington.
English
Interesting.
Could Wolves get involved in a sign-and-trade? I believe it would hard cap them in 1st apron. But could be something to keep an eye on…
Marc J. Spears@MarcJSpears
Wizards star Trae Young plans to decline his $48.97 million player option for the 2026–27 season to become a FA on Monday, sources. Washington remains the front runner for the four-time NBA All-Star as he loves the team and DC, but he still expects multiple team max interest.
