The Minnesota Twin Towers are a foregone conclusion, and almost everyone is not optimistic about this deal. Many years ago, Timberwolves had the twin towers Pekovic + Love . The combination may not be comparable to the current Gobert + Towns combination, but it might as well be a reference, in terms of offense. , Towns' historic shooting ability can completely open up the space, and Gobert, as the best defensive player, has his own defensive system, so this inside combination is still exciting.

From the offensive end: Towns' offensive methods are still external. In theory, there is not much conflict with Gobert. Edwards 's offense will be slightly affected. But now the state of Russell is very critical. He is basically the only playmaker. I think McLaughlin's organizational ability is very average. It is not impossible to add experience as a substitute point guard. Under this system, the offense will definitely be dominated by Edwards Russell and Towns. I hope Russell can focus on organization and help the Timberwolves at critical moments. The addition of Gobert will relieve Towns' defensive pressure, which is also good for Russell, who is good at pick-and-rolls. Next season is Russell's contract year, so he will definitely perform well. The combination of Russell, Towns and Gobert can basically guarantee the playoffs. The team's upper limit must be the development of Edwards. Edwards must be able to develop to the level of his own draft template Wade . It is not impossible for the Timberwolves to win the championship in the new season.

From the defensive end: The Timberwolves have almost no defensive system. In the playoffs, it can be seen that they are basically one-man defense, relying on enthusiasm and athletic ability to limit opponents, but Gobert can support the Jazz by himself. Jazz For the defensive system, coming to the Timberwolves is simply a timely help. Not to mention the twin towers inside, interior defense is definitely no problem. The only problem is that Towns and Gobert may have to be trained by the military. In this regard, the Timberwolves can use zone defense to test the effect of the twin towers. The specific defensive problems are left to the Timberwolves. Head coach, in addition, everyone can't be impressed by Russell's defense. Due to his physical fitness, he may suffer a disadvantage in one-on-one defense, but his defensive IQ, assisting defense, and steal ability are above the standard. Paired with Hua Zi, who has flexible feet and good physical fitness, the backcourt The defense cannot be said to be at the top of the league, but it is at least above average.

From the management point of view: Prepare to make a desperate move in the new season. In fact, in general, although the Timberwolves now have two maximum salaries, and Edwards and Russell will renew their contracts in the future, they will basically re-sign the broadcast contract in 2025. Previously, in this way, after the salary cap of and increased sharply, the pressure of super luxury will be relatively smaller. It's a pity that the Timberwolves' record performance may not improve much next year due to general reinforcements in the Western Conference. Anyway, it seems that Gobert is very suitable for the Timberwolves. The structure of the Timberwolves' three young players is already good, and they have made the playoffs. They must fight hard. Better results. After that, the first round should not be lottery picks. Basically, the only names left in the first round are worth some money. There is no point in choosing by yourself. I feel that I will lose a Beverly in the rotation. It would be a loss for other teams to replace Gobert with more first-rounders and more rotations, because they don't really need someone like Gobert, but the Timberwolves and Gobert do seem like a perfect match on paper. The Timberwolves lack DPOY to support the defensive system. Man, I wish the Timberwolves can take another step forward in the end.
