Connelly President Govere wants to remain a legend in Minnesota.
Last season, the Minnesota Timberwolves acquired Rudy Gobert (216 centimeters, C) and built a “Twin Tower.” However, evaluation was not good back then. Due to players’ injuries and problems with Gobert’s adaptation, the team failed to display its skills. Minnesota, which invested heavily in recruiting Gobert, failed to achieve results. Back then, it was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
He showed a different side this season. The players’ hands and feet matched. He played solid defense and ranked third in the West of the regular league. At the center of it was Govere. Govere showed tremendous presence in defense. Govere, who averaged 14 points, 12.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 2.1 blocks per game, was named Defensive Player of the Year.
Minnesota’s rise continued in the playoffs. It beat the Phoenix Sons lightly in the first round of the playoffs. In the second round, they fought to the end against Denver, the favorite to win. As a result, they won after a close game that lasted until Game 7. They made it to the conference finals for the first time in 20 years.
Minnesota met the Dallas Mavericks in the conference finals and lost in vain. Nevertheless, the team showed good performance in the West.
This off-season Minnesota players have left the team. Bench depth has become thinner. Still, the main players are still there. This is why Minnesota is still predicted to be a western powerhouse.
Recently, Minnesota President Tim Connelly talked about his team’s progress. He said, “Some players left the team. It was inevitable. But the main players are strong. The key is his contract with Kobe. I hope he stays with our team. I hope he becomes a legend of the team. I hope the team now is the last team in his career.”
Kobe will be a limited FA after the upcoming 2024-2025 season. As there are player options, he may leave Minnesota. 에볼루션 바카라사이트
Afterwards, he said, “I am not negotiating with him at this time. This is because he is preparing for the Olympics. But I will consult with him right after the Olympics. I will do my best to catch Kobe.”
Minnesota had its best season with Anthony Edwards (198 cm, GF) and Govere. The key is to maintain this system. Minnesota needs an extension contract with Govere to do so.
