Honestly I think the whole thing the Mavs did with Tony Romo is amazing. Just one of the many reasons why Mark Cuban is a real G
 
Cavs signed edy Tavares and released sanders. Tavares could've helped us. Oh well. Wonder if Larry retires again. If not, that's someone I'd look into giving a training camp invite to.

Yeah, boring. Antiseptic. Lacks soul. Lacks originality. Lacks feeling. It's so of its time - it's going to be easy to date this logo in the future, just like it's easy to date all the re-brands that took place in the 90s.

Yuck! That's just a minor variation of the alternate logo they've been using since 2008, but worse in every way:

I'm fine with mirror imaging the wolf's head, but the use of green in the eye and the star is nauseating. Also what happened to the fucking trees? They are the Minnesota Timberwolves for fuck's sake. They should have just rotated it by 180 degrees, added the Minnesota Timberwolves text around the perimeter and called it done.

If they REALLY wanted to have the green color, make the trees green, because, well trees are actually green:

I'm fine with the sleeker wolf's head, but I think they should have kept the trees instead of adding the star. They're the Minnesota Timberwolves, not the Minnesota North Stars.

Ha - I didn't even remember they already had an updated logo. I was thinking of this, which is TRULY awful:

Well damn... I've never seen that alternate logo till now. The old one is way better. I like the trees in the Timberwolf's fur.
 
I don't know if this was ever in use, but it's so much better than any of the iterations posted:

Portland might fall 3 spots in the draft if they win tomorrow. It might make the dif between picking #15 and #18.

It isn't tough looking, but I miss the early 90s logo.

I guess 80s bleed into 90s - I thought this was from the 80s, and the hideous one I posted was 90s. But I suppose this could be early 90s and the other late 90s? Either way, this one SLAYS all the more modern designs. I hate "mean, tough, extreme" logos - the only thing worse are the Clippers and Thunder "logos", if they can even be called that.

Good >> AWFUL >> Still AWFUL, but at least the typeface isn't quite as awful.

I still like the current alternate logo best and think with some minor modifications it could have been a winner. It had timber, it had a wolf and it had a basketball. Seems pretty spot on.

When you think about it, it's probably the most descriptive logo in the NBA. They are a team named the Timberwolves that play basketball. That logo said it all, without using a single word.

The new logo lacks the timber. Do they want to be known simply as the Wolves, now?

Cuban says he wanted to sign Tony Romo to a 10-Day contract but the league would not allow it.

Weird situation, he is an athlete and played basketball in HS (rumor is he was quite good). I guess the league viewed this as too much of a publicity stunt and didn't want to open the floodgates for Kanye West or Drake 10 day contracts.
 
The Lakers won again? I love it.

It's Major League, all over again.
 
Kings had 8 players in double figures including 30 points from Buddy Hield in a win tonight. I think their future is bright now tha Cousins is gone. Not sure how things will work out in New Orleans.
 
A timberwolf, is a type of wolf from the geographical area.

It's not timber, and wolves.

They should have tanked better this year though. They will end up with what, no. 9? And probably no. 12 from Pelicans. Could have well been something like no. 5 for them with better tanking.

Hield should be ROY
 
They should do their best to extend Collison, would be a perfect rotation guard, especially if they get one of Ntikilina, Smith or Fox and develop them going forward. The second pick they have to use on a small forward and pray that they see Isaac fall to them or just get Justin Jackson.

Skal has been good lately, hasn't he?

Remember when people were trashing the Kings for the Boogie trade?

They got a nice young player and a 1st for a guy no one wanted cause his agent told every team not to trade for him. Heild and the 10th pick is a pretty good return for that
 
I hope top 3 picks go to Boston, Miami and Sacramento. Boston because I want Brooklyn to look even more ridiculous for trading their future for three 35-year olds. Miami because they actually did try to win and although they will come short in the end, they made a great effort which I hope is rewarded by this strange turn of events. Sacramento because they had the guts to trade someone who appeared to be franchise cornerstone for a struggling rookie and a pick, a move which everyone ridiculed. I don't love them but I want them to catch a break for once.

Alternatively, give the third pick to Philadelphia who finally tried winning this season rather than tanking so deep. Just please don't give it to Suns or Lakers.
