TSJ is an important asset for Minnesota as an affordable team-controlled 1st rounder. They're starting to wake up to the possibility that he might be an important player for them, but then it was trading an important (declining) asset in Rob Dillingham (to a team that's stupid) that brought them an important player in Ayo, so they will be alive to that too in the offseason.

There is some level on which TSJ's highest calling in the NBA might be "good stats bad team guy". Your Anfernee Simons', your Cam Thomas', guys of that nature. Those checks still clear.

Finch finally woke up and I have to give him credit that he took accountability after game 6. They started designing things for TJ in this 1st game. I don't think they are going to trade him soon cuz he is affordable.

An underrated part of the programs turnaround has been being able to watch our guys nearly year round.

Our season went into the first week of April this year šŸ˜

Now we have multiple guys playing roles on playoff teams

Then itā€™ll be the summer league where we should have 2-3 guys at least playing in that..

Then next thing you know in 10ish weeks itā€™ll be right back to being basketball season..
