Cam Newton says Ant's warning is fool's gold. Chad Johnson says the Wolves scare nobody. Both are grading an October quote against a ring Minnesota never claimed to have. That was never the test. Wednesday in Miami is.
Has Ant earned the right to talk, or is it empty bravado from a ringless team? Make your case in the comments:

Chris Finch's whole pitch two days before the opener: 'We'll see if we're ready.' Minnesota traded half its core for LaMelo and drew Giannis and Bam on night one. The honest answer is also the terrifying one.
Are the new-look Wolves ready for Giannis and Bam on opening night, or does Miami expose them? Make your call in the comments:

This is the start of something very special…
Anthony Edwards on why he and LaMelo have clicked:
“First of all, we’re both Leos. Second of all, we’re big on putting our pride to the side, putting our ego to the side, and just doing whatever for the team. … Man, we’re going to be great together.”
(via @JonKrawczynski )
LaMelo Ball just compared Jaden McDaniels to a maxed-out 2K create-a-player. The kicker: Minnesota locked him up for $40 million the same afternoon, and may still have gotten a discount on the player he's about to become.
With Randle gone to Brooklyn, how many points does Jaden McDaniels average this year? Put your number in the comments:

One outlet gave the new Wolves three futures: a first-round flameout, another second-round funeral, or the first title in 37 years. But Finch has spent all of camp pointing at the glass. That tells you which season is actually the honest bet.
Best case, worst case, or the boring middle for the LaMelo-era Wolves? Make your case in the comments:

They cashed in the picks, broke up a two-time conference finalist, and bet the whole thing on Ant and LaMelo sharing one backcourt. Safe got them 49 wins and a second-round exit. This front office finally decided safe wasn't the goal. Buckle up, Wolves Nation.
Is the LaMelo gamble going to push the Wolves past the second round this year? Make your case in the comments:

Ant didn't say he hopes the Wolves win it all. He said he will. 'I don't think he's better than me. I don't think that they can beat me and my team.' This is the first season that's entirely his, and he's not asking anybody's permission to take it.
Is this finally the year Ant drags the Wolves to the Finals? Make your case in the comments:

The starters never left Minneapolis, so the Bulls out-rebounded the Wolves by 17 and out-assisted them by 11. The kids who did play? Isaiah Evans finally found his jumper and Jaylen Clark looked like a guy Finch has to use. Mixed bag in Chicago.
Does Jaylen Clark force his way into the opening-night rotation, or is this still Ant's and LaMelo's show? Make your case in the comments:

The Wolves got run off their own floor by Detroit in their first home game of the preseason. Now they get one more tune-up, in Chicago, to clean it up before Miami counts. And that backup point guard job behind the starters is still sitting there, unclaimed.
Who should win the backup point guard job behind the starters before Miami? Make your case in the comments:

Chris Finch says the Wolves traded moodiness for giddiness. Fine. But the Julius Randle we saw in the 2025 playoffs was the swing piece on a contender, and nobody seems to want to say it out loud anymore. The full accounting:
Joe House looked at the Wolves, called LaMelo Ball 'Clowney McFartypants,' and smashed the under. A healthy LaMelo played 72 games last year and runs the best transition offense Anthony Edwards has ever had next to him. House is going to regret the nickname and the bet.
Does the Edwards-Ball backcourt clear 48.5 wins, or does Joe House get the last laugh? Drop your win total in the comments:
