It can be said that the Timberwolves have completed this deal and have almost seen the ending. The 400 million combination of Gobert and Towns , plus Russell 's contract, has almost locked up the salary space. And now the team has also lost some players with unique offensive and defensive characteristics such as Beverley and Beasley . It can be said that the Timberwolves almost dismantled a team and then took one that they are not sure about. players.
After the trade for Gobert, it is obvious that the Timberwolves want Towns to be a taller version of Curry . Towns' outside-oriented play in the playoffs this season has been ridiculed by many fans. Now the Timberwolves have even intensified their efforts. It's really hard to imagine. In forming this twin-tower team, another key issue is defense. After losing players such as Beverley, the Timberwolves' perimeter defense has plummeted. Without strong perimeter defense, the combination of Towns and Gobert will be riddled with holes.
In today's small ball era, team lineups are getting smaller and smaller. Even teams such as the Warriors this season have used a three-guard lineup in the playoffs. Now if you want to play Twin Towers, it is just like the Warriors Only insiders like Rooney , Green , Celtics Lowe can play in the Twin Towers, and they must have the ability to defend smaller players. But now Towns and Gobert have no ability to switch to guard outside players. This will be targeted by all teams, especially in the playoffs.
In today's small ball era, only the Timberwolves dare to play like this. After trading away Wiggins and suffering a big loss, the Timberwolves actually intensified their efforts, which is really surprising.
