Kevin Durant to Prospect Heights, one of many high-profile stars to change homes this summer. An NBA Title hasn’t felt so up-for-grabs in years, while the Association also boasts a thriving middle class. There is, of course, an underbelly of the forgotten and the unlucky. Clubs in limbo, rebuilding or reloading in an attempt to secure a new futur

The Derrick Rose Dilemma: How Should We Remember Him?

NBA.com When you look at Derrick Rose and the career he’s had, it’s hard not to think what if? When he’s been healthy, he’s been a sensation. Health has been a major point of concern that no doubt side tracked his career, though. Rose was selected first overall in the 2008 draft by the Chicago Bulls. He became the first player drafted by the Bulls to score 10 points or more in each of his first 10 games since Michael Jordan.He was the first rookie to win the Skills Challenge

2017 NBA Re-Draft: Part 1

Complex Pick 30: Los Angeles Lakers - Frank Ntilikina (Original pick: Josh Hart) The last (first round) pick of the Phil Jackson era in New York has not been great. Defensively is where his game shines, but his career 5.9 PPG on 35% shooting is horrendous. To restart his NBA career, why not put him in L.A. to get some bench minutes while backing up Fox. Pick 29: San Antonio Spurs - Markelle Fultz (Original pick: Derrick White) Let’s have fun. Fultz has not lived up to the hyp

Why A Saunders Might Just Bring The Wolves Back

NBA.com Ryan Saunders might just be getting started, but perhaps this is the perfect time for Minnesota to have a Saunders in charge. One game under .500, early-season drama ending with the trade of Jimmy Butler, and a hard fought road win over current-Western-conference-three-seed Oklahoma City -- it’s quite a time to be a Timberwolf! With the firing of former head coach Tom Thibodeau, Minnesota was at a coaching crossroads. Rumors have swirled around Fred Hoiberg, Monty Wil

Days of Future Past

Star Tribune The Minnesota Timberwolves are preparing for another season as questions remain about Jimmy Butler’s fate, with the all-star guard recently requesting a trade. Butler’s trade demand coincided with a bizarre, if not entertaining, social media beef between Butler, teammate Andrew Wiggins’, Wiggins’ brother Nick and former NBA player turned analyst Stephen Jackson. And though Wiggins and Butler apparently have no intentions of forming their own banana boat crew any

How the Timberwolves New Faces Impact Karl-Anthony Towns

After an active offseason, the Minnesota Timberwolves seem set to end the NBA’s longest playoff drought this year. The Western Conference has also gotten even more formidable this offseason, particularly with the Oklahoma City Thunder acquiring Paul George and Carmelo Anthony, but Minnesota should win 45-50 games and earn a postseason berth. Karl-Anthony Towns looks like a star for the Timberwolves to build around, so getting the most out of him has to be a priority. So how d

The Top 5 NBA Duos

The duo act is timeless. Each member made better by the other’s presence. Costello was funnier alongside Abbot and Batman would have succumbed to his rogues gallery without Robin’s help. As the late Bob Ross would say: “Everybody needs a friend.” At least a dozen teams had a duo worthy of this list, but we’ve pared down to the five best in the NBA currently. Considering the league’s top tag teams, their unit’s functionality took precedence over their individual talents. Kyrie

Breaking Down the Timberwolves' Off-Season

No team has been more active than the Minnesota Timberwolves during the 2017 NBA off-season. On draft day and throughout the free agency period, the T-Wolves front office have made move after move, and what they have managed to build is quite intriguing. Let’s take a look at the team’s player activity thus far: Considering that Minnesota already had some great young talent in Andrew Wiggins, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Gorgui Deng, the Timberwolves now have what seems like a soli

Why You Should Watch the Minnesota Timberwolves:

Current Record: 16-28, 12th in Western Conference The Minnesota Timberwolves really bounced back nicely as they moved on from the Kevin Love era. It all started in 2014 when Cleveland traded Andrew Wiggins, the former #1 draft pick to Minnesota for Kevin Love in a 3-way trade with the 76ers. Luck was on their side the following year, which they were able to get another #1 draft pick, which became Karl-Anthony Towns. They went on to hire Tom Thibodeau last year, as their new c

Five Teams Being Underrated In The Offseason

Phoenix Suns: Phoenix labored through a disastrous 2015-16 season, finishing 23-59, which was fourth in the Pacific Division. The Suns were dealt a rough hand with the injury bug throughout the season, as Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight both saw their season end early. Bledsoe was averaging career highs in points (20.4), assists (6.1), and steals (2.0) to go with 4.6 rebounds per game before missing the final three months after surgery on his torn meniscus.
