Post-trade, here’s what the Wolves have at each position, barring any upcoming roster moves still in the works. Point Guard: Randy Foye: The presumptive starter, Foye’s only entering his second NBA season, and has never been a full-time starter so far. Has great potential, but is untested. Marko Jaric: The “big guard” is a big [...]
It’s a matter of simple math, really. The blockbuster deal made to send Kevin Garnett to the Boston Celtics for a half-decent shot at winning a ring, and restoring a future of hope to the Minnesota Timberwolves, has made it almost a lock that the Wolves will be cutting off the heads of a few [...]
A dozen years into his NBA career and the player with the longest current tenure on any one team has now been moved for the first time in his career: future Hall of Famer, Kevin Garnett, is no longer a Minnesota Timberwolf! The deal, which give Boston a potent trio of players in Garnett, Paul [...]
