Being the Minnesota Timberwolves’ GM: What Would You Do?

Posted: 4th December 2009 by Matthew Hayden in NBA
The entire future of the Wolves rides on this upcoming draft and free agency period. The Wolves can have anywhere from $12-20 million in cap room this upcoming year. With the Charlotte Bobcats playing well, there's a definite possibility that the Wolves will have three draft picks coming up. With that being said, I'd like to just predict some moves that David Kahn will make. So,á this can give Wolves fans' a sort ...
With continued play, the Timberwolves over the last two games have played slightly above average basketball. They have shared the ball, turned it over less, played more efficient for certain pockets of the game, and are really giving themselves a chance. It makes knowing that there's still a weapon just waiting to be used just racking up the chips on his shoulder for the Wolves to come devour whenever they get hungry. With ...

First off, thank you Minnesota Timberwolves for, as sadly as it sounds, re-sparking your fan base with a win over the Denver Nuggets. Over the web, just one minute into actually winning their second game, Timberwolves fan's are incredibly impressed and NBA fans are amazed that the Wolves end their 15 game losing streak against the Denver Nuggets, in Denver Nuggets territory.

Minnesota Timberwolves: Players on the Trading Block

Posted: 29th November 2009 by Matthew Hayden in NBA
It will be interesting to see who the Wolves may trade before the February deadline. The key for any trades will be how the move affects the teamÆs ôcultureö, something they need to show they are really stepping towards improving. Minnesota has plenty of cap space and draft picks, which hopefullyábodes well for the Wolves.While there are only five or six keeper players from the Wolves, letÆs look at who ...

Flynn Vs Sessions: Kurt Rambis Hints At Different Starting Lineup?

Posted: 29th November 2009 by Matthew Hayden in NBA
As a Minnesota Timberwolves fan that's going through turmoil with his favorite team on a 15-game losing streak, unfortunately there are a lot of positives followed by more negatives. A few positives about the Timberwolves: They are fun to watch. They can run, and finish greatly when the run. Ramon Sessions can be a floor general with a very sorry second unit. Ryan Hollins can pick, roll and score with the best of the athletic ...

United We Run: Minnesota Timberwolves Should Run Away with a Win Soon

Posted: 26th November 2009 by Matthew Hayden in NBA
United we run... The newest motto for the Timberwolves team has finally taken its toll. While the Wolves have lost game after game, I have to admit that they are fun to watch when they are running. When Jonny Flynn and Corey Brewer are on the fast break, it's almost guaranteed buckets, as no one can keep up with them. I have heard time and time again that defense wins games...If the Wolves ...

What Could Be Positive About the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Losing Streak?

Posted: 13th November 2009 by Matthew Hayden in NBA
In an eight game losing skid, there was much positivity to be said about the Wolves when the Wolves came within single figures of beating the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Clippers, and the Phoenix Suns. Now that they have dropped games against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Portland Trailblazers, and the Golden State Warriors, all positivity has almost been dropped, and has Wolves fans hanging their heads pondering the EXTREMELY long season ...

LeBron James Should Become A Timberwolf; It’s Actually Not a Bad Move

Posted: 6th November 2009 by Matthew Hayden in NBA
I expect so much controversy on this topic. But I choose to do it anyway. LeBron should sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves this upcoming free agency. New Jersey Nets and the Chicago Bulls would be a great fit as well. There's all this talk about no one ever wants to come to Minnesota... But how is it that we pulled Phil Jackson's right hand man to Minnesota? How is it that one of the ...
A star in rookie form? What in the world does that mean? I mean, Corey Brewer is a good player, it's just that he's not efficient. It means that he does everything great, except score at a high percentage. It means that his potential has not been realized, and that he makes many mistakes that are mostly compensated by EVERYTHING ELSE. If we compare this team to last years, I'd have to say that this ...

Trade Central: Who Should Be a Timberwolf?

Posted: 2nd November 2009 by Matthew Hayden in NBA
Is it just me, or are a lot of players going unnoticed? I am open to suggestions on this subject, but I'd like to do a article on "Who should be pursued by the Wolves"? I always contemplate the Wolves becoming the Atlanta Hawks of two seasons ago by making a midseason trade that's going to improve the Wolves enough to get the eighth seed. Here are a few players: á Nick Young (SG), ...
