Part 4/6:
A Deteriorating Outlook
Fast forward to the current season, the Timberwolves' performance is not meeting expectations. Despite showing potential during the previous season, they now find themselves struggling against teams like the Portland Trail Blazers and the Toronto Raptors, creating mounting questions about their direction.
Defensively, they have regressed significantly compared to last year's performance. The chemistry among players appears to be deteriorating, culminating in frustrations, such as Gobert publicly expressing his discontent on the court. Alarmingly, it has also surfaced that DiVincenzo, a pivotal signing from the Towns trade, may soon find himself on the trading block, further clouding the team’s stability and depth.
