Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves could be lacking in size going into the start of the upcoming season.

The Minnesota Timberwolves missed out on star free agent LeBron James, who agreed to a two-year, $8 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday.

LeBron James no longer has the Los Angeles Lakers, and a significant chunk of the NBA, in a holding pattern. James is now officially with the Philadelphia 76ers after leaving the Lakers in free agency.  His other potential suitors — the Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves — are no longer...

The Minnesota Timberwolves have not been playing it safe this offseason.

I distinctly remember the feeling after the Timberwolves lost to Denver in the first round of the 2023 playoffs. Minnesota had been eliminated in five games, which on paper looked like another early exit for a franchise that had collected early exits like refrigerator magnets. There was no banner to raise, no deep postseason run […]

The Rockets have officially signed free agent forward Julian Phillips, according to a team press release. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but it appears likely to be a non-guaranteed contract, given Houston’s cap and roster situations. The 35th overall pick of the 2023 draft, Phillips averaged 4.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in 79 […]

The two won a title together with the Lakers in 2020.

Five teams were in the mix to sign LeBron, four of them missed out; so what do the Warriors, Cavaliers, Heat and Wolves do now?

LeBron James' extended free agency process before choosing the Philadelphia 76ers had nothing to do with attention, drama, or any hope of teaming up with friends on rosters outside his list of suitors, according to a source close to James. James was not waiting on the Golden State Warriors or another team to trade for Anthony Davis, nor was he holding out for the Dallas Mavericks to make Kyrie Irving available. James, 41, based his decision purely on his belief that Philadelphia gave him the ...

The call is coming from within. The call for the fifth starter for the Timberwolves, I mean.

Well, it was fun while it lasted, huh? So LeBron James isn’t a Timberwolf. That’s unfortunate. But life moves on! We checked the rules and the Minnesota Timberwolves will, in fact, still need to participate in the 2026-2027 NBA season without The King. Wolves-centered publications can all stop writing offseason filler content about him, so I think we can all agree to be happy about that. Let’s move on to the next overplayed commonly discussed topic of the season: Who will be the stopgap fifth...

If you’re thinking Anthony Edwards is crestfallen by LeBron James’ decision to join the Philadelphia 76ers over the Minnesota Timberwolves, think again. As reported by The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski after news of James’ choice broke Friday, Edwards had a retort to the possibility of his team being spurned by James. During one of several conversations he had with James, Edwards playfully told him if he didn’t make a decision soon, he would tear off James’ head, according to league sources brie...

And just like that, it was over. One tweet from Shams Charania was all it took to end several weeks of speculation, amateur detective work, Timberwolves emoji analysis, and increasingly elaborate attempts to convince ourselves that LeBron James had always dreamed of spending the final chapter of his career in Minneapolis. According to Charania, acting […]
