Summary

On today’s show, Dane is joined by Britt Robson of MinnPost to react to the Wolves fourth preseason win, this time again over the Los Angeles Lakers. Naz Reid! Then, Dane and Britt try to zoom out by looking at John Hollinger from The Athletic’s Timberwolves season preview — so as to parse what elements they agree with and also the parts that were maybe a little too black and white. Topics include: — Naz Reid’s serious preseason splash — Almost every player who has played in preseason consistently producing — Hollinger’s idea of the Rudy Gobert trade being a bet on Karl-Anthony Towns’s prime rather than Anthony Edwards’s prime — A no-longer-immediate reaction to the Gobert trade, and how Tim Connelly made sense of this move — The role ownership played in making the team immediately competitive, and what the motivations of that might be — Another look at how the Gobert trade boosts D’Angelo Russell’s value, on the court and with the salary cap — Disagreeing with the idea that this Wolves roster lacks depth Sign up today for a 14-day free trial of Aura’s digital security at Aura.com/Dane Learn more about your ad choices.
