100 million in 3 years! 125 million in 5 years! The most underrated team in the West

On August 4, the Timberwolves officially announced that they will resume the Garnett-era retro black jersey from next season, with the one with green tree patterns. The Timberwolves' two new owners, Rodriguez and Mark Lore, said the Timberwolves are considering a larger-scale brand reshaping and want to restore the team's style that was once loved by fans.

Today, we took advantage of the news that the Timberwolves changed their jerseys and talked about their offseason reinforcements. The Timberwolves entered the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, but there were no big moves during the offseason, and few fans paid attention to it. Before the Rockets and Suns traded, the Timberwolves wanted to chase Durant, but KD didn't want to go to Minnesota, so the Timberwolves had to quit.

Get back to the point, let's take a look at the Timberwolves offseason operations: 1.5 years, $125 million in renewal Naz Reed, 2029-30 season player options; 2.3 years, 100 million in renewal Randall; 3.1 million in renewal of Ingles; 4.17 picks 2.11-meter center Joao Belange; 5.45 picks 2.21-meter Zikaski.

The Timberwolves originally had the No. 31 draw, and traded downward twice in a row: they sent the No. 31 draw to the Suns for the No. 36 draw and the next two second round draws; they also gave the No. 36 draw to the Lakers for the No. 45 draw and cash. Alexander Walker joined the Hawks for 62 million in four years. The Timberwolves did not strengthen the defender in the draft, but instead took away two inside players.

Let me introduce these two centers. Joao Belange is from France and is a fellow villager with Gobert. He was born on November 11, 2006. He is 2.11 meters tall with a bare foot height of 2.25 meters and a 2.82 meters tall with a standing height of 2.82 meters. He only started playing basketball in 2021. He averaged 17 minutes in the European Cup basketball game last season, scoring 4.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks.

Zikaski was born on July 11, 2006. He is 2.21 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.25 meters. He is from Australia. Zikaski has played for the NBL Brisbane Bullets over the past two seasons. In the 2024-25 season, he averaged 12.2 minutes per game, scored 4.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 0.7 blocks, and his three shooting percentages were: 50%, 20%, and 62.5%.

In addition, the Timberwolves signed Johnny Zhuzan with a training camp contract, and he will compete for a two-way contract. Zhu Zan was born on March 17, 2001 and is 1.98 meters tall. She lost the draft in 2022 and has played for the Jazz in the past three years. Last season, he averaged 19.8 minutes per game, scoring 8.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists, and his three-point shooting percentage was 37.6%.

2024-25 regular season, Reed averaged 14.2 points, 6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.9 blocks and 1.4 turnovers, with three shooting percentages: 46.2%, 37.9%, and 77.6%. In this playoffs, Reed averaged 10.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 blocks and 1.9 turnovers per game, with three shooting percentages: 50.9%, 39.7%, and 76%.

Randall averaged 18.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.8 turnovers in the regular season last season, with three shooting percentages: 48.5%, 34.4%, 80.6%. In this playoffs, Randall averaged 21.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 3.3 turnovers per game, with three shooting percentages: 50.2%, 38.5%, and 88%. The overall shooting percentage is higher than the regular season.

The full score is 10 points. How many points do you give the Timberwolves' offseason operation?
