The contract assigned Joe Smith to the Pistons.

If we say how much help Joe Smith really brought to Garnett's Timberwolves and what awards and honors he won, the key is that Joe Smith only averaged 13 points and 8 rebounds per game in his best year with the Timberwolves...

Just like this, in 2000, it had already won 50 wins for the first time in team history, and Garnett was entering his peak period, but suddenly there was no good inside helper, and the team could not attract stars to join.

The draft picks that could be used to supplement the team's immediate strength were also penalized for five years, and there were no draft picks until 2005.

The draft pick can be used to select rookies for training, or for immediate combat ability. It is also the best bargaining chip. Suddenly it is gone. The Timberwolves' reinforcements are directly interrupted. They are now in the first echelon of the league, but they are the weakest one.

I couldn't go up, I couldn't go down, it was very embarrassing, and it was called the "tragedy of the great times" in the history of the Timberwolves.

…

After stretching, massaging, warming up, etc. at the training venue arranged by the Target Center, the Eagles players let the media take some pre-game photos and began to enter the stadium.

Minneapolis is also a famous basketball city. The first dynasty of the NBA was born here, and it was also the stage where the first superstar in NBA history showed his abilities.

George Mikan's retired jersey is still hanging on the wall of the Target Center, but what embarrasses the Timberwolves players is that the logo on it is that of the Lakers.

But George Mikan is the greatest basketball star in this city. Even Garnett cannot shake this fact. A statue of George Mikan is still erected outside the arena.

Since the Lakers created glory here in the 1950s, the Minneapolis market has been very hot since the team was founded in 1988. Even if they were ranked among the bottom three in the Western Conference for six consecutive years at the beginning, they could afford to wait!

We have waited almost 30 years for our city to have an NBA team again. Other fans dare not say it, but they patiently support the team's re-emergence. They are more patient than fans of other teams! Unlike the Lakers fans, the three

In five years, it has been very troublesome.

Ever since the Timberwolves drafted Garnett in 1995 when people were not optimistic about it, everything has changed for them!

In 1997, the team reached the playoffs for the first time in team history! The first All-Star in team history! In 2000, the team won 50 games in the regular season for the first time in team history!

All because of one person, Kevin Garnett!

When the Eagles players came out, the fans began to boo. When Raheem came out last, the boos reached their peak!

The Eagles players are very puzzled. Their team has nothing to do with this team that only has a history of 12 or 13 years, right?

This is the passion of Timberwolves fans!

Not only because after many years of silence, there is finally an NBA team and it has finally become one of the strong teams, but also because this represents the attitude of their star player!

After the Eagles' five appearances, the Timberwolves' appearance ceremony began!

The first person to appear was Joe Smith, the second brother of the team. After playing for the Pistons for a year, he returned to the Timberwolves. Unfortunately, the maximum salary was gone. He only had a 6-year, 30 million contract. There was no way, the league did not recognize his Bird clause.

Although this player has caused harm to the team, the fans did not blame him and gave Joe Smith a loud cheer.

Next are the two guards of the Hawks, the Eastern All-Star substitute Terrell Brandon in 1994 and 1995, and the No. 3 draft pick in 1997, the famous homeless man Chauncey Billups!

Although these two are not as strong as Stephon Marbury, who left for a big contract, the fans like them more and continue to cheer!

Next is the No. 6 pick at the end of the heyday of the draft in 1999, Spain's super genius, the league's first-line small forward Wally Szczerbiak!

The last person in the standard C.G.G.F.F order of appearance is about to appear.

The fans' previous cheers seemed to be a warm-up. Before Garnett came out, the DJ did not continue the introduction. The big screen in the center of the previously dark stadium lit up, and a picture of Garnett with his eyes closed appeared on the big screen.

On the screen, suddenly, the wolf king opened his eyes and let out a loud roar!

The scene was boiling! The cheers reached the highest point today! Garnett walked out of the tunnel with a stern look on his face!

Liu Mang couldn't help but get excited when he saw this scene. It was so exciting! It was so exciting to play against such an opponent!
