They're the first NBA team to do that since the Grizzlies in 2021.

And this is the first Timberwolves team to do that since 2008.

Two regular season games were added to the Wolves’ slate after other teams qualified for the in-season Emirates Cup.
The Wolves will play host to the Lakers on Friday, Dec. 13, then play at San Antonio on Sunday, Dec. 15.

How long will this In Season tournament last? Seems pretty dumb.

How about giving winning team an extra 1st round pick(at end of 1st round)? Something that has some value.

It's a gimmick to make players give a shit about games in December by dangling some extra buck at them. It's sad that that's what it takes, but not a big deal. They're just games to me like any other.

They are trying to increase viewership but it is still falling.

I've been stating that for over a month. We simply lost that trade. Didn't like it from the start.

If the goal was to get out of the second apron, I wish the Wolves would have traded Rudy instead.

Short term, yes. I still think moving Towns was the right move long term though.

I don't. We no longer have that second star. Randle isn't it and we aren't likely to find one quick. Long term, I still say moving Rudy would have been the smarter play.

Also sounds like Randle needs to be shipped out sooner the better.
