To avoid taxes, Downs or be traded? Suffice it to say, the Timberwolves are nothing without Towns
Actually, the place where their team bug is in the Downs. Without him, the team is not a big threat. Edwards + Gobert are awesome. But because the fourth position has a big man in the second tower of the twin towers who can shoot suddenly, the other teams can't solve this point. So the Timberwolves have been number one from the start. Without Downs, this team is still very good, but it can still be handled, and it is at the level of the old Jazz.
And as the leader of the team, Downs is willing to let go, which has surpassed many people, okay? The team's Datang family is willing to play co-defense, willing to reduce the number of shots to the young people in the team, and willing to pull down the body to defend is already very good.
And the Wolves want to win the championship, Huazi must continue to advance, the current stage is not good, Huazi is actually continuing to improve, but the time is too short, the 22-year-old can't afford this team to compete for the championship. But when Huazi develops in two or three years, I don't know if there will be such a good team configuration.
In any case, the Jaden Timberwolves are absolutely impossible to sell, the defense is really strong, and the offense can be further polished. I think the management should mean that if there is a breakthrough in the playoffs, they will still be willing to pay the luxury tax. There is a high probability that Lee Kyle will not sign this summer, and he can't shoot this season.
It's even more spacey than last season, and opponents often let him go to trap Downs, which is also a reason for the Timberwolves' inefficient offense. I feel like the Timberwolves may trade a few guys for a better backup point guard this summer, and the Timberwolves have a poor offensive organization after Conley is off the court, and they are often beaten up without Conley.
Downs has been doing well this season, and probably really according to his own words, he is the last big man in the world to shoot 3 points. Gobert is out of the question, with his contract expiring in the '25-26 season, but the final year is a player option. At most, he will jump out of the contract next summer, and he will be 33 years old next year, even if he maintains his condition well, at most he will have a contract of 100 million for 3 years, and it is absolutely impossible to get a contract of more than 40 million.
