The Timberwolves face disintegration? The three major contracts expire and are expected to win 26+6 stars to continue to win the championship

On May 30, with the deepening of the NBA playoffs, there are only three teams left in the league to fight for the championship. The Timberwolves were eliminated by the Thunder yesterday. In an interview after the game, the reporter asked Huazi if he was very sad. Edwards once said: I am only 23 years old, and Conley is even sadder than myself. I will practice hard during the offseason and continue to help Conley chase the championship next season. It is true that Edwards still has a lot of youth, but it may be difficult for him to continue to attack the Western Conference Finals in the future.

First of all, Conley's age problem. Conley has no effect in the playoffs this season, averaging only 6 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and he still has a contract worth tens of millions a year, so it is difficult to send it off. In addition, many players in the Timberwolves face early renewal during the offseason. Naz Reed and Randall are both player option contracts, and Walker is a complete free agent. These players obviously want big contracts. After all, they have performed well this season.

First of all, Walker. In the playoffs, Walker averaged 8.3 rebounds, 1.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was 35%. Walker has less playing time this season due to the arrival of Diven this season, but in the second round of the playoffs against the Thunder, Walker performed well. He has an excellent offense and defense and has excellent impact. He is a top substitute. He is only 26 years old. He is estimated to pursue a contract with an average salary of 8-10 million yuan during the offseason, and there are probably many teams who are willing to give it to.

Reed averaged 10.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.9 blocks in the playoffs, with a three-point shooting percentage of 39.7%, and can make 1.9 three-pointers per game. One of the best small inside players in the active league, Reed can sign a four-year contract of 87.2 million this summer, and the maximum 4-year and 94.2 million player option can be executed. He also talked about whether to stay in the team. Reed said that I have been in the past 6 years and do not intend to make changes. I hope the team thinks the same. The meaning is very clear. As long as I give me a suitable price, I will keep it.

Although Randle did not play well in the West Finals, to be honest, Edwards did not play well in the West Finals. He has proved himself this season. He averaged 21.7 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 50%, a three-point shooting percentage of 38.5%, and can make 2 three-pointers per game. He has the ability to sign a four-year, 194 million contract extension with the Timberwolves in the offseason. Do you know why? It is just to save money, a small football market like them cannot bear high luxury taxes.

Therefore, the famous talker Venhorst also talked about the Timberwolves on the show. He said: I don’t think the Timberwolves can keep this team completely this summer. The core is OK, but Randall, Walker and Reed are all free agents, and Edwards’ contract is very large. If all three of them can renew the contract, I would be surprised. To be honest, Reed should stay. If the team does not want to face a large contract for a long time, they may try to sign and exchange with Randall.

Randall has made a fortune this season, and the team can trade him. The biggest problem with the Timberwolves' current Timberwolves' distance from winning the championship is actually not Gobert. Gobert is not so scared when facing small and big games. He dares to save and defend, and his defensive end is still good. McDan can also give the team great help on both offense and defense. What they lack most is a player who can stand up and score at critical moments.

In the last two games of the Western Conference Finals, everyone has seen that Edwards is still far from being a real super giant. It may be because he is too young, or it may be that he does not have the domineering a star who is no better than me. When Alexander scored, he could not play against each other, and he played timidly on the offensive end. In the World Cup that year, he chose to pass the ball at a critical moment and did not attack, which was helpless. The repeated occurrence of such problems shows that he is not a super giant.

The team needs a player who can score at critical moments, and there is such a star in the trading market this summer. He is Durant. Although Durant is 36 years old, he is still one of the best scorers in the league. This season, he can average 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 52.7%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 43%. Durant needs an excellent team system to support him in order to maximize his value. After all, his physical fitness is not as good as before.

The news previously reported was that the Timberwolves and Durant were interested in each other because Durant is Edwards' idol. The Timberwolves wanted to keep Edwards for a long time. Winning Durant is the best comfort to him, and Durant also wants to join a strong team to continue to win the championship. Both sides like each other. If you want to get Durant in a trade, I think the Timberwolves can send Dillingham, Devin, the first round pick and Randall to complete the transaction.

After the end of the Western Conference Finals, the US media CP also predicted that the Timberwolves might be the biggest win in Durant's trade. Having said that, what do you want to say about the Timberwolves? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
