The Official Minnesota Timberwolves Thread - game spoilers!

[GarnettFan4Life]

I think it may be a big year for the TWolves pending a lockout.
With Ricky Rubio's arrival in the USA a lot of interest has been generated in how he will play in the NBA after a long 2 year wait.

With Kevin Love having a fantastic season (20pts,15reb) and Beasley on the rise after sorting out personal problems (20ppg), things look on the up for Minnesota, who also have the 2nd Pick in this years Draft to go with their developing picks from 2010-11 (Wes Johnson) and 2009-10 (Jonny Flynn).

Will definitely look forward to seeing some of their games!

If you can't watch all the press conference, entertaining bits are:

Part 1 - 3min42sec - great response to a reporters question

Part 3 - 4min25sec - meaning of his jersey number

Part 3 - 6min48sec - on why he is a pass first player

Just saying...I'm actually really excited with their team now. If they had any direction or a decent coach, they could be the next OKC!

Re: The Official Minnesota Timberwolves Thread

damn, why would the rockets need another pg, when they have Lowry who was averaging like 17 points and 8 assists after the all star weekend last year? They also have Dragic as back up, fair sure he's pretty good as well. I personally think that the rockets will trade Flynn to a team like Toronto, who were after him earlier.

Re: The Official Minnesota Timberwolves Thread

The Rockets should trade Flynn to Minnesota.

Re: The Official Minnesota Timberwolves Thread

Kahn reports Beasley has been working out in LA daily with former NBA guard Norm Nixon and getting mentored by him off court, too.


: KLove had his jaw broken during a May medical procedure to repair his bite, but has been back on court for a couple weeks.

Minnesota Timberwolves announce Rick Adelman as next head coach - ESPN


The team announced on Tuesday that it has an agreement in principle with Rick Adelman to make one of the game's great offensive minds its next head coach. An introductory news conference will be held once the contract is signed, but scheduling conflicts mean that is unlikely to happen this week.

Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but there is no doubt that Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor had to dig deep into his billionaire pocketbook to land a coach who is eighth on the career victories list. The 65-year-old Adelman is 945-616 in 20 seasons as coach of the Trail Blazers, Kings, Warriors and Rockets.


Adelman
Adelman and the Rockets parted ways in April after his four-year, $16.25 million contract expired. It likely took quite a bit more to convince a coach who has led a team to the playoffs in 16 of his 20 seasons on the bench to take over a young group that is 32-132 in the past two years.

In doing so, Taylor delivered an emphatic statement to any fans who may have doubted his commitment to getting things turned around in Minnesota, especially considering he still owes the fired Kurt Rambis $4 million over the final two years of his contract.
