That is the only way to describe a roster that went all in with the Rudy Gobert trade, only to see Karl-Anthony Towns miss 52 games and then swap out D'Angelo Russell for Mike Conley at the trade deadline. In the 529 minutes Gobert and Towns shared the court, Minnesota had an offensive efficiency of 106.2, worse than the last place Charlotte Hornets. The immaturity part stems from Gobert being suspended for punching teammate Kyle Anderson, Jaden McDaniels' self-inflicted hand injury and a team that struggled handling in-game success. Including the play-in loss to the Los Angeles Lakers and the Game 5 loss to Denver, Minnesota squandered 20 double-digit leads this season. However, the Timberwolves are married to this roster. The only place to improve -- outside of developing chemistry -- is tweaking their bench. Minnesota could explore options to break up its core and build around Anthony Edwards. However, Towns has failed to play 50 games or more in three out of the past four seasons (he played 74 games last season, earning All-NBA) and his $224 million supermax extension does not kick in until next season. Gobert has three years and $131 million left on his contract. 球员名单基础： 不够完整的阵容，KAT缺席了52场球赛，季初欧印狗贝，季中处理掉DLO的续约问题换来 康利，双塔在场上的529分钟里面，灰狼的进攻效率联盟倒数第二只赢黄蜂，然後在狗贝 KA冲突、Jaden搥墙自爆等各种问题影响了球队，灰狼除了附加赛败给了湖人跟第一轮五 战被金块淘汰之外，本赛季输了20曾经领先双位数的球赛，灰狼队目前阵容需要强化的地方 就是脆弱的板凳深度，球队要继续探索围绕AE建队的各种可能性，KAT在过去三季出赛平均 出赛场次不到五十场，而且在後年才会开始走SUPERMAX的第一年合约，而狗贝未来三年还 有1.31亿镁的巨型合约要走。 Offseason finances: The addition of Conley at the trade deadline has Minnesota committed to $144 million in salary, $18 million below the luxury tax. Conley, Taurean Prince and Jordan McLaughlin all have partially or non-guaranteed contracts, but the Timberwolves would not gain cap flexibility by waiving them. Conley's contract is guaranteed for $14.3 million and becomes fully guaranteed for $23.3 million June 24. Prince's $7.5 million salary becomes fully guaranteed June 28, and McLaughlin's $2.3 million contract becomes fully guaranteed June 30. 季末薪资状况： 在季中换来康利之後目前灰狼队距离豪华税限还有18M的空间，康利、Prince跟六秃都有 部分保障或是无保障的合约，但是灰狼队目前预期不会透过放弃他们的合约来增加薪资空 间，康利最後一年只有14.3M的部分保障薪资，而TP则在6/28後最後一年合约转为完全保障， 六秃则是在6/30後转为合约完全保障。 Top front office priority: Expect an extension for Edwards to be a priority. The All-Star is eligible to sign a five-year, $207 million extension that could increase to $249 million if All-NBA language is included. In the games without Towns, Edwards averaged 25.5 points and shot 38% from 3. He ranked in the top 10 in total points off drives per Second Spectrum. A rookie max extension for Edwards would make the Timberwolves the only team in 2024-25 with three players on a max deal. 管理层主要目标： AE的延长合约是休赛季灰狼率先要处理的事项，今年入选全明星的AE有资格在暑假跟灰狼 续约一张5年207M的延长合约(如果入选年度队最多可以延长续约到249M)，在没有KAT的比赛里 ，AE场均25.5分、38%的三分命中率，在AE预期签下新秀指定延长合约之後，灰狼队会是联盟 後年24-25球季唯一一只拥有三张顶薪合约的球队。 Extension candidate to watch: If Edwards is priority one, then McDaniels is next in the line. The forward was one of the league's elite defenders this season and will likely see his name on one of the All-Defensive teams. McDaniels ranked in the top 10 in both field goal percentage allowed as the closest defender and field goal percentage allowed at the rim per Second Spectrum. The forward is certainly worthy of a new contract, but how much stock does the front office put into his season-ending hand injury? New contracts for Edwards and McDaniels this offseason, combined with the existing deals for Towns and Gobert could see Minnesota enter the 2024 offseason with more than $140 million committed to four players. 重点延长合约球员： 如果AE的延长合约是休赛季灰狼的首要目标，那第二件事情就是Jaden的续约，Jaden在本季 展现了精英级的防守内容，很有可能进入年度防守球队，Jaden本季在限制对手投篮命中率跟 在篮下投篮的命中率都是联盟前十的等级，Jaden值得一张延长合约，但是球队怎麽看待他 季末自爆的情况呢?要是AE跟Jaden都拿到了延长合约，那加上双塔的大约，灰狼在下个球季 光这四个球员就会花上至少140M镁的薪资空间。 Other extension candidates: Reid (through June 30), Nowell (through June 30), McLaughlin (as of Sept. 5) and Gobert (as of Sept. 30) 其他延长合约的选项： Reid、Nowell需要在6/30延长合约否则变成FA球员，狗贝跟六秃在九月前可延长合约 Team needs: A bigger budget. This comes down to how much ownership is willing to commit in keeping their own free agents, primarily Reid and Nowell. The Timberwolves enter the offseason only $18 million below the tax and have the non-taxpayer million midlevel exception available if both players leave. Before breaking his left wrist, Reid was averaging a career-high 11.5 points and 4.9 rebounds in only 18.4 minutes. Nowell averaged 11 points in games that he played more than 10 minutes. In two starts this season, he averaged 23.5 points, shooting 59% from the field and 44% on 3s. Both players are unrestricted free agents but eligible to sign a four-year, $58 million extension before June 30. 球队需求： 球队在季末需要考量要用多少钱留住Reid跟Nowell，如果这两个都不续约那灰狼队在暑假 会有18M的薪资空间跟一个全额中产可以使用，这两位球员在6/30前都有资格签一张4年58M 的延长合约。 Future draft assets: Depleted. Minnesota will send Utah unprotected first-round picks in 2023, 2025 and 2027. The Timberwolves will also send a 2029 top-5 protected first. The Jazz have the right to swap firsts in 2026. The Timberwolves have five second-round picks available to trade. Currently, the Timberwolves are not allowed to trade a future first in any season. 未来资产： 未来的选秀权资产几乎乾了，灰狼给爵士23、25、27无保障的首轮，加上29前五保护首轮， 爵士甚至还有26的首轮交换权，灰狼目前未来只有五个次轮可以交易，目前不用特别去思考 灰狼未来的首轮了。 --
