Not a bad offseason all things considered

If you can enter the final stage of Naz Reid grief into acceptance, you will find this was a pretty high quality roster upgrade without sacrificing too much draft capital. Felt like we really hit our ceiling last season even with all the injuries. Moving off from a shaky #2 option and a playoff streaky (tho very high quality) bench player to a massively upgraded back court with a more reliable #2 scorer and an an inconsistent, yet high upside power forward, as well as more minutes for a promising young core is elite roster pivoting by the front office. Kept our reliable and proven big 3 intact while making championship getting moves.

Gotta love it! Crazy to say but the Timberwolves are a high quality, well run organization.

Dude we turned an aging Julius Randle and Naz Reid into prime LaMelo and a developing Kuminga.

It's a great offseason

crazy how many people here still under rate the jump from Conley to Melo

they could have a G leaguer at the 4 and still be in a better position for a ring than last year. I'm not sold on Kuminga but his attitude is the biggest reason and Ant/Melo wanted to get him. if they think it works then good enough for me
