>**KG:** “They both are the faces of the franchise. This is what me and [Stephon Marbury] couldn’t get together. Real shit. I’mma be– you know. This is why me and you [Pierce] worked. Because you gotta have a yin and a yang … Me and P are alike, we know how to coexist and work together. That’s one thing me and [Pierce] locked down day one … Steph came off like he wanted something of his own and it wasn’t Minnesota. I can’t control another man and what he want.
>”So in this, my advice to KAT, always, you and your fella, get on the same page. As a rookie, you [Ant] go through KAT. Now he proved hisself. He now got a brand, he’s got the whole ‘that’s what Anthony Edwards is.’ And it’s growing. The best thing for them now, get together, say ‘this what we on’, let them two initiate it, and go. Because as them two go, the Wolves are gonna go. And everybody else below that, gotta fall in line. Straight up.
>”They got something there, that they ain’t had there in a long time. I’m talking about when Wiggins and LaVine was there. They didn’t have this. They got a bonafide superstar who want the last shot, can hit the last shot, can put it on your fuckin’ head, and when he lock in he can D up too.”
>**Tony Allen:** “And he’s a willing passer. with a lockdown shooter like KAT, I think they coexist real good.”
>**KG:** “I love the young Wolves and I’m looking forward to seeing that.”

I mean everything KG says here is true
It feels like people on r/nba want Ant to ISO 30 times a game and KAT to just sit in the corner the whole time but that’s exactly how you DON’T run an offense on anything resembling a championship contender
There’s always this “KAT needs to realize he’s not that guy” talk on here like somehow him being passive(already an issue for him honestly) is going to make the team play better
These young wolves got KG’s dick hard
If your bigs can’t dominate inside there’s no reason to run twin tower lineups.
i enjoy post playing career KG
Love this message and how real KG is about the dynamic with Marbury vs with Allen and Pierce in Boston.
It’s about being on the same page and leading together, not this “it’s Ant’s team vs it’s KAT’s team” business. They’re tight but also pretty different so the Yin Yang dynamic KG is talking about is easy to envision. They’ve both shown a willingness to do what’s needed for the team and are good teammates. I don’t get why one needs to usurp the other…
Also having a big who can pull people out of the paint for you is pretty ideal.
For as talented as KAT is, I just dont think he has the proverbial dog in him at all. Ant on the other hand seems to have multiple dogs inside him.
Best option is to trade KAT and start Naz Reid.
If only they can get someone like OG annouby + Eric Gordon for KAT.
“After all THAAAAT” 💅💅
Trade kat actually nvm don’t keep wasting ants time works out better for everyone else who will have cap room
Time for Ant and KAT to perform the fusion dance
Ant and KAT had an awesome offensive rating as a duo together, especially with Conley. They are going to co-exist just fine and KAT has said all the right things…people don’t seem to realize KAT was never an insanely high usage guy to begin with anyway. He’s a perfect #2 scorer, he doesn’t need to soak up seconds off the clock and dominate the ball to score.
Anyone else really excited to see how McDaniels develops? Not a Wolves fan but wow, I’m seeing lots of Potential there. My hot take is that he could be a DPOY contender somewhere down the line.
KG saying Ant and KAT gotta be quilefnt
KG wants Ant and KAT to get married?
I really don’t get why MN fans and fans in general are so stuck on who’s team it is. Everyone knows u need more than one star to win. KAT has a lot of problems with his game but who is replacing him?
My first thought was this was a jab at Robin Lopez, I forgot there are other slightly less famous Robins out there
Shall we dare say, *are the timberwolves sp00ky?*
KAT is soft. Don’t expect him to play defense
Still waiting on that Thon Maker mvp arc
KAT can be Batman 1 and ANT can be Batman A.
UBUNTU on three, KG!!
The problem with KAT is not that he’s deferring to Ant too much or that Ant isn’t taking over as much as he needs to. It’s more that KAT can’t play inside the 3 point line, which severely limits his ability to be productive on the court and mesh with Ant’s play style. A slow power forward who only shoots threes and is a defensive liability doesn’t work in the playoffs unless you’re super efficient in limited minutes, like a Ryan Anderson.
“I’m A1 from day 1, says it on my jersey that I’m number 1. That KAT gotta be A2 from day 2, so he needs to take a step back.”
–Ant, probably
isn’t tony allen supposed to be in jail or something for health care fraud lol what’s he doing on the pod
I agree with KG.
KAT gets way too much hate. He deserves some hate for his playoff performances, and defense, and lack of a post game, but people are massively underrated him
Same with the whole wolves team. They are going to be very good in the coming years, especially with the twin towers lineup, as well as ant and McDaniels developing. But they need to learn how to mesh together better.
And giannis needs to get a shot outside of 5 feet.
Can we please get past the first round of the playoffs this year.
The Two Faced Timberwolves 😤
once again KG is 100% right. this man cannot miss!!
The problem with this team is we have no one to settle the team down. A true floor general. Its why when we get big leads we can never hold them cause it just gets stagnant and everyone is just looking for their own shot/taking tougher shots rather than playing as a team to find the easier shots. We are dying for a playmaker. It isn’t a coincidence that when we finally got a competent one (Conley) we looked night/day better. Conley is just too old now and it isn’t easy finding playmaking PGs.
That team isn’t winning shit with KAT, mindset is not there
KAT’s problem is clear: he has the game to be Batman, but has always had the mindset of a Robin…
