If they make The Finals, then it's absolutely not an overpay; actually, I'd consider it an amazing trade.
The Timberwolves have never gotten that far and I don't believe they really had contending expectations, recently.
Even if they make the Western Conference Finals, then the trade was worth it. I feel you have to factor the franchise's history into this. The decade-plus of 'Spooky Wolves' discussion disappointed every single year.
If they finally get over that hump and appear to be a significant challenger come Playoff-time, then I firmly believe the trade should be considered well worth the price.
Even if (big if, not putting the cart before the horse here) we have something like back to back WCF appearances, shit's worth it to me. We've been so fucking miserable for my entire adult life, I'm just begging for a deep playoff run.
The KG/Spree/Cassell year was so fun.
If we make back to back wcf and lose, is Finch gone? Or does he still have a long leash?
wouldn't he be your team's most successful coach?
He already is if you go strictly off record, he became the most winningest (most stupidest word ever) coach in franchise history just a few games ago.
Although Flip took us to the playoffs so many years in a row and capped it off with a WCF appearance, is the only Timberwolves coach ever to win a playoff series, and is basically the Timberwolves’ Vince Lombardi so “most successful” might be a tough title for some fans to relinquish
