Andrew Wiggins Must be Traded ASAP vs. Benched

The time has come to move on from 

Andrew Wiggins. Enough is enough

Andrew Wiggins days are numbered receiving a paycheck for the privilege of playing professional basketball for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wiggins has by all measurable standards including the eye test, shown absolutely no evidence of improvement from last year. All of the hyped up "hard work" he's supposedly put into his game (as parrotted by  the Minnesota sportswriters) over the summer should have prepared him for the preseason; yet, he is alarmingly the exact same player and person as last year, just like the FIVE years prior. We've heard from the mainstream Minnesota sports media ad nauseum that Wiggins has worked harder on his game this summer than previous summers; and yet he's proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it was all fake news. The Timberwolves fanbase have been sold a bottle of snake oil with a big picture of Andrew Wiggins smile on it. True Wolves fans should be FURIOUS, for they've been deceived!!!

The best thing for Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas to do for the betterment of the organization is to trade Andrew Wiggins for anything at this point; and make the trade happen quickly and silently.

Timberwolves Preseason Game vs. Suns Reaction

I just watched highlights of Tuesday's preseason Timberwolves game vs the Suns. Below is a link to the highlights provided by Fansided.com

It's very concerning to me that the same showboating chest pumping screaming into the direction of the fans after a dunk is STILL exhibited by the Timberwolves' best player, Karl Anthony Towns. What a thug-like thing to do!!! Obviously he's still a child unworthy of an adult's paycheck; or at bare minimum, he cannot keep his emotions in check for the betterment of the team.

Watch the video. Karl Anthony Towns dunks the ball AND THEN actually spends his team's valuable time to pause, scream at the crowd, and celebrate; all while the Suns inbound the ball to take advantage of Towns getting back many steps late on Defense. What a selfish act!!

Defense is Karl Anthony Town's Achilles's Heel to his team. Clearly he's not taking this season seriously if he's choosing to place the spotlight on himself at the expense of whats best for his team at a moment during a game when he should be giving 125% effort on Defense.

Decisions like this is exactly why Coach Thibbs would yell at Towns during games. And THIS is the Timberwolves best player and the new leader of the team???

Why does Karl Anthony Towns not yet possess the mental discipline required to keep those sort of emotions at bay until AFTER a blown whistle? Showboating at the expense of executing sound Defense should be considered unacceptable, especially for a team who missed the playoffs last season and are expected to struggle with making the playoffs again this season. There is no margin for errors this season; at least that SHOULD be the attitude of the best player on an NBA team, right??

Was it just a bad choice in judgement or is Karl Anthony Towns emotionally compromised?

Should the average Timberwolves fan just not care at all and continue to not hold their team accountable for decisions that place unnecessary celebration for entertainment purposes over winning basketball games???

Shouldn't NBA professionals be REQUIRED to give 125% on EVERY possession during the couple hours it takes to play a game? That would be the "professional" thing to do, right?? That would be putting one's team first and any desire to showboat to the crowd last, right??

Cannot NBA "professionals" like Karl Anthony Towns, who get paid $25-30 MILLION per season, possess the self disclipline required to score two points and THEN IMMEDIATELY hustle back on Defense (Again, Defense is Towns Achilles's Heel to his team)?? Ist this part of his job description?? Isn't this what he's getting paid MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to do??

So, then why hasn't this concept been ingrained FROM DAY ONE into the central nervous system of Karl Anthony Towns, the Timberwolves' best player??

As with every business, when it's employees' emotions interfere with their ability to efficiently and affectively perform their job description, that business has a huge problem.

GOD SAVE THE TIMBERWOLVES!!!

Has The NBA Become Too Complex For The New and Casual Fan To Understand?

This article is my first of hopefully many to be featured on the new Timberwolves fan site I created…. NBA Timberwolves Talk.

I am a fan of the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves. For better would be great but, for most of their 30 years in the league, it has been for the worse. I have followed them every season, hoping to see them have another season like they did in 2004 when they made it to the Western Conference Finals. My trust in that hope is what keeps me following them, even though I no longer live in Minnesota.

Recently, while reading an article about them, I noticed there were a lot of basketball terms being used and I admit, I didn't know what some of them meant. Over the years I have considered myself a "common fan.” That Means I understand basic basketball terminology, enough to understand most of what I read in today's NBA news.
