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. […]

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.

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.

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.

Trey Lyles 4 Life: Q&A With The Kings Herald
So he’s not LeBron James. But is Trey Lyles the next best thing? It’s entirely possible! We’ve seen the beating he’s put on the Wolves in recent years, but for those who wiped their memories opted out of watching any Kings games the past three to four years, I decided to find out more about […]
The LeBron Whiteboard Equation has Only One Solution
From the moment LeBron James confirmed he would not be returning to the Los Angeles Lakers, the entire NBA ecosystem lost its collective mind. This is what happens when the league’s all-time leading scorer, even at this stage of his career, suddenly becomes available. It doesn’t matter that he is no longer 28-year-old LeBron. It […]

Lynx Weekly: Quiet Week on the Court, Busy Week Off of It

How the Timberwolves Solve the Power Forward “Problem”
Ever since the Lamelo Ball trade (which remains yet to be completed), Timberwolves fans have been focused on one question: Will LeBron James be coming to Minnesota? The answer is obviously yes, as he will inevitably play either for or against the Wolves at some point in the coming season, his record-setting 24th (how?) season. […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves finally have a power forward on the roster.

The Clear Case for LeBron to Minnesota
Tim Connelly and the Minnesota Timberwolves have already made their summer splash, and it was not exactly a toe-dip into the pool. Acquiring LaMelo Ball from Charlotte was the kind of move that immediately changes the way everyone has to think about this roster. The direct cost was steep: Naz Reid, the 2033 first-round pick, […]
