The Minnesota Timberwolves have to fill Nickeil Alexander-Walker's role -- and the roster spots of Luka Garza and Josh Minott. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) dives into how the Wolves can fill NAW's minutes internally, as well as what big men could be available to take Garza's spot in free agency if Tim Connelly chooses to go that route instead of adding another guard or wing. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have signed Naz Reid and Julius Randle to brand new contracts, ensuring that the frontcourt will remain the same for at least the near future. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down why the contracts represent strong value and are reasonable and tradeable in case the Wolves choose to pivot. Also, the Wolves should have a (very) little bit of cap space to go out and sign a free agent to fill their last remaining roster spot. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.

The Minnesota Timberwolves traded back in the second round of the NBA Draft and picked Australian teenager Rocco Zikarsky -- a 7-foot-4 giant with a massive ceiling. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down what his future could look like, as well as why the Wolves' asset management on Day Two of the draft wasn't as bad as it may have looked. Also, where the Wolves' roster currently stands -- and why it was part of the rationale for trading all the way back to No. 45. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! OLIPOPGet a free can of OLIPOP!
