This morning, the Minnesota Timberwolves just traded away their 22-year old 2019 lottery pick, Jarrett Culver, to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for 33-year old Patrick Beverley.
After an offseason in which the T-Wolves did *Googles*…nothing….the front office decided it behooved them to trade away one of their few good young assets in order to acquire a guy who we all just witnessed was unplayable for the Clippers this last postseason.
A strong trade chip wasted for a 33-year old whose only discernable skill is being annoying to opposing players occasionally.
Here is the only explanation I could find for this move:
Patrick Beverley is one of Gersson Rosas’ proudest scouting finds. Rosas, when he was with Houston, found Beverley playing in I believe Russia — 10 years ago. https://t.co/QJ8WC5vouJ

The Timberwolves team president discovered Pat Bev in the streets of Sochi gnawing on empty soup cans and now ten years later, he jumped on the opportunity to bring in his adopted Bolshevik baby boy.
Minnesota should be building around Karl-Anthony Towns who will probably go down as the best big man shooter in the NBA history and they made the mistake of giving all of their first round draft picks to Golden State for D’Angelo Russell.
That was dumb.
Their other scorer, Malik Beasley, is publicly cheating on his wife with Scottie Pippen’s wife oh, and he missed the end of the season due to a casual stint in prison.
The only positive is Anthony Edwards, the 2020-21 Rookie of the Year. Unfortunately for Minnesota, he has all of the exact same talents and flaws of their last no.1 overall pick, Andrew Wiggins, who they had to trade to the Warriors attached with all those first round picks they no longer have.
So what the fuck is the Minnesota Timberwolves actual plan?
The bottom of the West is open. New Orleans is trying to ruin Zion Williamson’s career. Sacramento seems to have some blood oath with Luke Walton that permits them from firing him despite how much this team continues to disappoint.
The Timberwolves appear to be matching America’s Afghanistan War plan in that there absolutely is not, has never been and will never be a plan. Just vibes.
There are rumors that they are desperately trying to acquire Ben Simmons which is hilarious because they would need to give the Philadelphia Sixers everything. Ben Simmons and Pat Bev vs. Everybody. Wreck Everyone And Leave.
But real quick, please trade KAT to Philly for Ben Simmons and give us the Twin Towers we all deserve. Towns and Embiid bodyslamming guys through tables like The Dudley Boys.
