The devastating defeat in the Western Conference Final exposed the lineup s shortcomings! The Timberwolves aimed at the Big Three of Harden, and the championship puzzle is about to be completed?

I stayed up late yesterday to watch the G5 of the Western Conference Finals. The Thunder was so fierce at home, and they beat the Timberwolves 124-94 to the point of being out of temper. Especially the Timberwolves starting point guard Kang Li, who was fucked in the whole game. Seeing him unable to run on the field and being unable to defend himself, it really makes people sigh that time is unforgiving. The Thunder clearly targeted the veteran, and Conley became a breakthrough on both offense and defense. After the game, many fans were calling the Timberwolves' blood exchange. It seems that the adjustment of the offseason lineup is a foregone conclusion.

When I was browsing the news, I saw the news that the Timberwolves were actually playing Harden's idea, and wanted to form the "Walden" combination of Edwards + Randle + Harden. This is quite interesting. Harden's Clippers' data last season was where, averaging 22.8 points, 8.7 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game, and the honors of the All-Star and All-League have not been lost. Let’s be honest, the Timberwolves really lack a person who can hold the ball and sort out the ball on the offensive end. Harden’s ability to pass and control the rhythm just can make up for this shortcoming. If it really works, maybe I can really make it to the finals next year.

If you want to talk about Harden's role, the most intuitive thing is to reduce the burden on Edwards. This young man now has to carry explosives in every game, which is too exhausting. If Harden was holding the ball on the outside, Edwards would run more and run without the ball, which would not only save his physical strength but also give full play to his speed advantage. It would be even more threatening to think about it. There is also Gobert. He has not had enough food in the inside in the past two years. Harden's skill in coaching the center is famous in the league. If the two of them get on the line, Gobert's efficiency in eating cakes will definitely increase, and the inside deterrence is directly up.

However, the Clippers also have their own small abacus. They want Harden to jump out of the contract and reduce their salary, but they don’t want to pay luxury taxes. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Harden’s hope of winning the championship there is a little slim. As people go to a high place, the Timberwolves' lineup structure is reasonable, and the core players are young and impactful, which is indeed a good choice for Harden. I just don’t know what Harden himself thinks, after all, there are too many factors that professional players need to consider when making decisions. How sincere can the Timberwolves management show in the next step and whether other teams will intercept the slander halfway? These are all quite curious.

As fans, we hope to have fun watching the offseason. Should Harden stay with the Clippers to continue running-in, or join the Timberwolves to compete for the championship? In addition to Harden, will the Timberwolves have other signing moves? These problems probably have to be struggling for a while. What do you think about this?
