The Timberwolves now sit at 13-4, the current #1 seed in the Western Conference, almost 1/4 through the season.

Rudy Gobert defensive rating: 102.3 (#1 in the league)

KAT defensive rating: 104 (#2 in the league this year / averaged 109 historically)

Timberwolves: 106.6 (#1 in the league)

If they make the finals this year; are we still saying it was an overpay?

Yeah this whole thread feels like people pushing backing against the early overreactions with…more overreactions. The Wolves are a tough 10-game stretch away from being like a 5-seed. The Pelicans and Grizzlies both spent about a week in December last year as the 1-seed in the West, and how did their seasons end up?

Let’s at least maybe get halfway through the season before we start applauding a trade for turning a team into a championship contender.

i feel like pelicans would have kept up the momentum had zion stayed healthy. wouldnt compare to them. this wolves team looks very strong, nobody is crowning them as champions, just celebrating a very good start
