W5 Timberwolves (32-20):獲得了 Ayo Dosunmu,送走 Rob Dillingham

The Minnesota Timberwolves have acquired guard Ayo Dosunmu in a four-player trade with the Chicago Bulls, sources told ESPN.

The trade also sends Julian Phillips to the Timberwolves, while the Bulls receive Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four second-round draft picks, according to sources.

喔!Ayo Dosunmu ( 2021: Rd 2, Pk 38 (CHI) ) 會是一個狠角色!

Dosunmu, 26, is having a career year for the Bulls, averaging 15.0 points on 51% shooting and 45% from 3-point range, the eighth-best percentage in the league.

Ayo Dosunmu 會跟近期火燙的 Bones Hyland 扛起替補的火力供輸,還是取代 Donte DiVincenzo 打先發呢 ? 我覺得 Dosunmu 這一年在公牛猛到無法置信,既然公牛放他走,肯定是仍有未待解決的毛病。重點是贏球治百病,公牛時期, Dosunmu 是輸多贏少,而且大多是打替補。

Dosunmu 為一個薪資才 750 萬能有場均 15 分的怪物後衛來說,他的表現不會輸給 Naz Reid ( 14.6),若這兩位板凳刺客都能正常發揮,灰狼的板凳組,也就是第二陣容將相當可怕。目前,我是覺得 Chris Finch 的調度相當保守,大部分都是主力在撐場,像是 Johnny Juzang 與菜鳥中鋒 Joan Beringer 也可以用,但大多是落後太多時才用。

希望 Dosunmu 帶來的是串連更多灰狼替補球員的發揮,讓先發組能獲得更多休息時間。

Edwards 的行為,是在對 Finch 表達了無聲的抗議嗎?


W6 Timberwolves (32-21):Rudy Gobert slams Wolves' effort

就在灰狼輸給鵜鶘之後,Rudy Gobert 放炮了,As Gobert stated, when the Wolves play defense, they tend to win. “It’s insane how when we just do that we win every night,” Gobert said.

(Minneapolis Star-Tribune)

Pelicans erase 18-point second-half deficit in 119-115 win over Timberwolves,灰狼浪費了 18 分的領先,讓 Gobert 有感而發。

“It starts with me. If I’m not showing effort, bench me. Take me out of the game. Everybody else will follow. Our best players, leaders, if we don’t show any effort, it doesn’t matter if you score 50, we’re not going to win,” Gobert said. “At some point, if we’re not mature enough to have that accountability ourselves, that might be a solution. And I guarantee you that when we come back onto the court, we’ll show effort.”

(Minneapolis Star-Tribune)

這一槍,是射向誰 ? 教練 Finch ? 還是,Our best players Anthony Edwards ?

Minnesota took a brief one-point lead with 50 seconds remaining on a 3-pointer by Bones Hyland, but Williamson converted a three-point play to put the Pelicans up 117-115 with 35.5 seconds to play.

Anthony Edwards' shot fell short and Bey grabbed the rebound and was fouled by Julius Randle with 10.8 seconds to play.

Gobert said that perhaps Finch should start benching players who aren’t showing that effort on the defensive end of the floor, regardless of their stature on the team or how many minutes they are accustomed to playing. “It should start with ourselves, but it seems like we don’t have that, so I think at some point from the coaches, yeah,” Gobert said. “It’s not an easy position for a coach to take guys out of the game. It’s not something that you want to do, but I think if the players don’t show any effort, at some point, no matter how talented we are as a team, if you don’t have that, you just can’t be a winning team.”

(Minneapolis Star-Tribune)

And Gobert, the four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year, sounded as frustrated as he has ever been in his Wolves tenure. “Just no effort. We’ve seen that many, many times this year, last few years, since I’ve been here,” he said. “We always know it’s coming. When it comes there’s no sense of urgency, no accountability. So I think at some point, if the players don’t have accountability, someone has to have accountability for the players.”

W6 Timberwolves (49-34):次輪,Rudy Gobert 的價值完全被突顯?

說真的,我還在夢迴金塊 vs 馬刺,我壓根沒料到灰狼能進第二輪。

Gobert 除了壓制約老,現在,連斑馬小弟也應付得來。

SAN ANTONIO -- — Anthony Edwards scored 18 points in his unexpected return from injury and the Minnesota Timberwolves overcame a huge game by Victor Wembanyama and held on to beat the San Antonio Spurs 104-102 in the opener of the Western Conference semifinals on Monday night.

難道,今年是灰狼年?

W6 Timberwolves (釀交易?):Edwards 坦言 We didn't build championship habits

Ryan Eichten: Anthony Edwards reflecting back on the season: "You're supposed to build championship habits or playoff habits during the regular season." When asked if the Wolves did that: "No, we didn't build the habits during the regular season."

(bsky.app)

Championship habits?我覺得灰狼要先考慮陣形,雖然季後賽首輪損失了 Donte DiVincenzo,但整體的攻守仍不是挑戰總冠軍的等級。

其中的禁區能量,無法跟雷霆與馬刺抗衡,是最大的問題了。因此,若真想爭冠,爭取 Giannis Antetokounmpo 是一個絕對有利的方案。

When asked if he sees any common theme in the past three lopsided playoff exits, however, Edwards was brief:

"Good question. No comment."

When asked what it will take for the Timberwolves to get over the hump and topple the Spurs and Thunder going forward, he said, "I don't know, man. I don't think that's a question for me."

Finch said front offices will be perplexed as they attempt to solve the Western Conference puzzle.

要是知道,去年就開始改革了!

The most obvious avenue for the Timberwolves to look at a major change is in the frontcourt. Julius Randle ($33 million), Gobert ($36.5 million) and Reid ($23.3 million) are set to be paid almost $95 million next season. Randle and Gobert have two more years left on their contracts while Reid is signed through 2029-30. Gobert turns 34 in June, and Randle will be 32 in November, with the clock ticking on their ability to surround Edwards (24), McDaniels (25) and Reid (26) in the Timberwolves’ young core.

Naz Reid on how Wolves can compete with OKC, Spurs: We need to be less moody and more selfless

如何擊敗了雷霆與馬刺?誰自私?誰無私? 我想灰狼得先不要內鬨,但首先,要處理好 Rudy Gobert,他能守拙攻的特性,是纍贅。灰狼隊該考慮交易掉 Gobert,找一個美系的長人,最佳男主角仍是 Giannis Antetokounmpo,但次級品像是籃網隊的 Nic Claxton。

“I think they were the better team,” Wolves center Rudy Gobert said. “We feel like we had a chance to beat these guys. But when it came down to the court, they clearly outplayed us in three games. Now it’s about looking at why and understanding why.”

(New York Times)

Rudy Gobert 難道不知道自己守不住,也攻不下? 6 場比賽下來,場均 6 分、8 籃板。Gobert 也許在例行賽很好用,但對上馬刺,簡直就無用武之地。


Dane Moore: With the Wolves getting knocked out by Oklahoma City and San Antonio these last two seasons,

Naz Reid about what they need to do to be able to catch those teams. "Probably just the moodiness. You look at both of those teams and they're playing for one another, they're excited to be on the floor with one another, they're a team where they're selfless... I think we have more than enough talent... But just being less moody. I think that's just the name of the game for us, just being less moody and more selfless."

為什麼是他?「Karl-Anthony Towns」,這位 2015: Rd 1, Pk 1 (MIN) 的純種狼,過去總是被評為軟蛋,不是像公務員拿滿數據,就是領到傷病卡,在座位區看比賽。

就如前一場,Anthony Towns 打來的模樣,簡直是 MVP ,就是當初他被寄予厚望的樣子。


KAT 大放異彩,灰狼的高層後悔了嗎?

今年的季後賽次輪,馬刺隊 4:2 擊敗了灰狼,兩名大前鋒都被 Wemby 看守得服服貼貼的。

但總冠軍賽時,Karl-Anthony Towns 的沉穩表現,卻讓 Wemby 吃癟。尤其是在防守這方面的表現,竟跟在灰狼隊時大相逕庭,完全的脫胎換骨,讓眾人都跌破眼鏡。

兩場下來,19.5 分(56.6%)、12.5 個籃板、4 次助攻與 1 次阻攻,讓尼克隊在禁區有穩健的保護。

回顧這交易,總裁 Tim Connelly 與經理 Matt Lloyd 絕對是錯估了 Karl-Anthony Towns 的上限與態度。

該交易 Rudy Gobert 或 Julius Randle 了,要不然,連雷霆與馬刺都過不了,怎麼去挑戰金盃?

Brian Windhorst: Going forward after this series, the Minnesota Timberwolves future is in question. Somewhat because of what Anthony Edwards feels about the roster, and I wonder if KAT was still there, if he did.

木已成舟,KAT was not still there,灰狼該再做交易了。

Chris Finch: 'We definitely need another ball handler and playmaker'

NBA Base: Chris Finch says the Timberwolves are looking to add another playmaker this offseason to help Anthony Edwards 👀

"We definitely need another ball handler and playmaker and somebody who can, you know, initiate the offense, take the load off of Anthony, get Anthony back to his natural best spot. I think there's a lot of things that we gained by putting Anthony on the ball. I think there's a lot of things he learned by, you know, having him on the ball. I think those things will pay off, you know, in subsequent seasons, you know, to be quite honest with you, so and that's a silver lining. But there's no doubt we need somebody to kind of help him. It it just put too much on his plate."

這是在暗喻招攬 Ja Morant 或 Kyrie Irving 嗎?
