It’s not. I understand that’s what people who don’t watch Wolves games would think, but it is 100% not the case.

When no one on the Wolves can score (like tonight) Ant has to take over. And he does it on insane efficiency. He just receives absolutely no help during these types of games.

You might see our sub saying Jaden is taking a leap or Naz is 6MOTY or Randle/DDV are good, but they have no consistency whatsoever. You never have any idea which version of them you’re getting any given night. When they’re good, Ant doesn’t have to take over. When they’re bad, they’re so bad that Ant has to do everything in his power to try to pull out a win. It’s as simple as that

longdognz | Timberwolves

Randle has been consistent, just doesn’t play good defense.

These past 2 wins, the supporting cast was getting buckets because ANT was doubled the entire game which meant easy buckets for everyone else. Naz and DDV both rely on others to playmake as well.

Literally what my comment meant. He needs help. Which would cut into his insane numbers and help the L turn to a W

Return_Icy | Timberwolves

I would argue they would just blow out other teams more often. He still very easily could have had his insane numbers tonight or close to it, it’s not like he’s only shooting 15-21 cuz he knew no one else could shoot - 21 shots is pretty standard for a superstar if a little light. But a couple more 3s made by…uhhh…literally anyone would have made this a comfortable 10-20 point win

Why does he seem to be getting less attention this year than the last few when he’s having objectively the best season of his career? 28 points in 34 minutes on 49/42/84 (63% TS) so far.

Morezingis | Timberwolves

8 | 4 hours ago

If you mean media attention, its because our team is unserious, and the gap between tier 1 players and tier 2 players is huge right now.

Now I genuinely believe Ant is a tier 1 player, but he does not have the team around him to utilize his strengths. Poor spacing, inconsistent shooters, no point guard, etc. and it shows in the record and the box score.

Jaden is our 2nd most important defender by a LONG shot while being a really versatile, important offensive piece (despite not being super consistent). He plays nearly every game and is paid half of LaMelo’s salary.

If they are on the same contract with the same availability, the Wolves probably prefer LaMelo after a bit of consideration. When you consider the realities of the situation, it’s a no brainer

LeopardRoyal2450

You got bigger issues in offense to me. And if gobert is staying you need more scorers than defenders.

Ant and Randle is your offense.

longdognz | Timberwolves

Lamelo for half a season, or McDaniels for the whole season + whatever other salary we would lose. Its not worth it.

Sure LaMelo is the better player, but he’s never healthy long enough to matter.

dank-kush | Hornets

2 | 5 hours ago

It really depends how severe his injuries actually are. I’m still uncertain if the team holds him out for any mild discomfort that he could play through if our team was actually competitive or if he’s actually just glass. Also Jaden mcdaniels would instantly be our best defender.

WhoUCuh

Because LaMelo has chronic ankle issues and only good for half a season.

At least we get a healthy player in return.

It’s the truth. I’ve been betting on the wolves all season. I can read them pretty well.

Gobert ties up the cap too much. Unless somehow they can dump Naz Reid for something valuable, which is unlikely.

Only option is Gobert.

The Wolves have no meaningful picks to attach, and nobody is taking on Gobert’s contract while giving you “two impactful pieces” back, without considerable draft compensation.

longdognz | Timberwolves

1 | 4 hours ago

Gobert doesn’t have a lot of value, and without the Wolves’ defence would be bottom 5 in the league. Maybe makes sense for another centre and a backup PG, but I don’t see any teams that would value that.

Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid against the Phoenix Suns go a combined 10 points 15 rebounds 3 assists on 3-19 FG 2-15 3PT 2-3 FT in a 3 point loss
