Anthony Edwards Was the Answer the Whole Time
Minnesota Timberwolves fans spent most of July waiting for somebody to walk through the door and fix things. We refreshed the timeline. We ran forensic analysis on Instagram emoji choices We talked ourselves into believing that a 41-year-old, four-time MVP would chose to spend the last act of his career in Minneapolis. For a few […]
Is Wolves Projected Starting Lineup Too Small?
The Minnesota Timberwolves are going into the upcoming season with a new starting lineup to boast after making a pair of offseason trades. Ayo Dosunmu, Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert are projected to start for the Wolves, which Bleacher Report writer Greg Swartz places at No. 12 in his starting lineup […]
Wolves Should Be Commended for LaMelo Ball Trade Gamble
The Minnesota Timberwolves are making a push towards the top of the Western Conference after falling short of the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2023. The Wolves were eliminated in six games at the hands of the eventual Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs, so they opted to try and raise their […]
Lynx Weekly: Star-filled Reunions
While there were only two Lynx games this week due to WNBA All-Star break, the Minnesota news cycle was rich with content due to a much needed return to action for a star player as well as the electrifying live StudBudz stream returning for WNBA All-Star weekend.

Are the Timberwolves Legitimate Title Contenders?
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 […]
Wolves Wing Stop or Stopgap?
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 […]
The Timberwolves Didn’t Need LeBron Anyway…
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 […]
Wolves Have One Issue to Solve in Second Half of Offseason
The Minnesota Timberwolves are rearranging their roster in an attempt to get over the hump and become the top team in the Western Conference. Their trade for LaMelo Ball from the Charlotte Hornets sent Naz Reed to the Queen City while Julius Randle was sent to the Brooklyn Nets, opening up a vacancy in the […]

Lynx Weekly: Streaking, All-Stars and Sweet Syl
The Minnesota Lynx are rolling once again, still sitting atop the WNBA standings now 26 games into the 44-game regular season. It was a busy week for Minnesota, with three back-and-forth battles taking place, but the Lynx came out victorious in all three of those contests to extend their winning streak with tow games left […]
Do Timberwolves Fans Even Want LeBron?
The NBA calendar has officially entered its quiet season. The draft is over. Most of the fireworks of free agency have already gone off. Las Vegas Summer League is winding down. Outside of the occasional contract signing or end-of-the-roster move, the league typically settles into a boring stretch. In other words, it’s the dead zone. […]

Wolves Could Build Best NBA Duo with LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards
The Minnesota Timberwolves are rolling the dice after trading for LaMelo Ball from the Charlotte Hornets earlier in the offseason. This could be a long-term investment that ultimately ends in a championship for the Twin Cities. Bleacher Report contributor Andy Bailey predicted who he believed would be the top 30 players in the league by […]
Trail Blazers 111, Timberwolves 84: Hopefully You Were Sleeping
A 10:30 NBA Summer League tipoff is for the real sickos. Did you decide to be a normal person and go to bed instead of watching the Minnesota Timberwolves second to last Las Vegas affair? No problem. With Joan Beringer sitting out his second consecutive game with back tightness, it was another game in which […]

Lynx Weekly: The Miles Effect
After a previous one game week due to the Commissioner’s Cup final, the Minnesota Lynx were back to regularly scheduled programming. It looked like it would be predictable week, as Minnesota matched up against the league-worst Connecticut Sun twice followed by a rematch against the Commissioner Cup winning New York Liberty, but what unfolded wasn’t […]
Wolves Fans are Feeling Positive about the LaMelo Ball Trade
Heading into the summer, just about every Timberwolves fan had their own dream offseason mapped out. Some wanted Tim Connelly to swing for the fences one more time and somehow pry Giannis Antetokounmpo loose if Milwaukee finally decided to tear things down. Others talked themselves into buying low on former superstars whose value had cratered. […]
Nuggets 101, Timberwolves 82: Denver Revenge (Not Really)
On a blisteringly hot Saturday night in Las Vegas, the Minnesota Timberwolves took on the Denver Nuggets for their second game of 2026 Summer League. The Wolves were a bit shorthanded in this one. Joan Beringer did not play in the game as he was out due to back tightness. Trey Kaufmann-Renn also left the […]

Could LaMelo Ball Deter LeBron James From Signing with Timberwolves?
LeBron James remains a free agent, and the Minnesota Timberwolves still appear like one of the finalists in his sweepstakes. The Wolves’ ability to contend over the last couple of seasons, with Anthony Edwards leading the charge, could be enough to woo LeBron in free agency. Minnesota has been busy this offseason, acquiring point guard […]
Timberwolves 105, Pelicans 92: Welcome to a Sloppy Summer
Welcome back to basketball, folks!

The Ultimate 2026 Wolves Summer League Companion
Minnesota Timberwolves basketball is back! Sure, you won’t be seeing LaMelo (or LeBron) in action. It’s going to be a handful of games from last year and this year’s rookies, but let’s not kid yourself. You’ve been starved for our Wolves basketball.
