The Minnesota Timberwolves not only finally got back into the playoffs but also proved to be a dangerous opponent. This roster had 11 players returning from the 2020-21 team, making them one of the franchises with the most continuity for this season. The biggest difference was head coach Chris Finch getting more time with the squad and fully integrating his system. Led by an All-NBA caliber season by Karl-Anthony Towns, along with a significant leap from Anthony Edwards, the Wolves are now a team for the present and the future.
Minnesota will have the most cap flexibility it’s had in years this offseason. While they have several core pieces set for the foreseeable future, they still have room for several new additions either in free agency or trade. They will also have several players with upcoming extensions whose futures may be decided this offseason.
