The Timberwolves are leading their Western Conference semifinal series with Denver 2-0 and have become a popular choice to make it to the NBA Finals. Their patient approach to building the roster is paying off, emphasizing the importance of patience in team development amid trades and shakeups.
I review past instances where I was wrong about the Timberwolves due to impatience, including trade suggestions involving Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Rudy Gobert. Misjudgments and doubts were dispelled as the team found success through perseverance and strategy changes. A surprising playoff run has silenced skeptics and turned heads in the league.
