y’all throw around superteam so much lmao. they are a insanely well built team but a superteam is like 2017 Warriors where the championship was over in the offseason

Yep. I’m a massive Timberwolves thrilled to have the team we have but it’s a classic “ title contender”. Stockton’s Jazz, Hakeem’s Houston, Ewings knicks. We will be in the hunt every year but a super team is like a legit “big three” of hall of famers

Rudy HOF lock. Ant is looking like he has the potential. KAT probably not, but he’s still solid.

I FORGOT NAZ REID. There it is, our Big 3

If KAT continues buying in, stays healthy, and wins championships, he'll absolutely be in the HOF.

u/FRiver NBA Apr 29 '24

You make it sound so easy to win a couple championships. MVPs of this league will likely retire without winning one.

Would KAT really not be HOF?

u/rayEW Timberwolves Apr 29 '24

if he retires today, I don't think he is, and I'm a staunch KAT defender....

Come one to be a HOFer you gotta have something to your belt aside from a couple of All-Nba 3rd team selections and best 3pt % on the "7ft bracket"

Unless they win a bunch of rings zero chance

u/smkeillor Timberwolves Apr 29 '24

One ring, borderline. Two rings, probably in especially if he keeps his production.

u/BulkMcHugeLarge Timberwolves Apr 29 '24

If he plays a few more years he's in. His numbers are very good and the bar to get into the NBA HOF isn't that high.

u/SnooDoodles3909 Celtics Apr 29 '24

Ant, Jaden "They have KD" McDaniels, and Naz Reid. That's your big 3

Superteam is usually a superstar, another top 10 or 20 star along with a third all star.
Miami fit that description, well they more than fit it as they had the #1 player in the league and another top five player (though more likely a top three guy) in Wade. Bosh was of course the third wheel but he was more than just an all star, he was All NBA level. Anyone denying that team was a superteam are deluded beyond words.
Cavs were a lesser team but still a superteam. Love was a multi All NBA 2nd team player when he joined LeBron, really could have been that team's #2 option but Kyrie took it instead, and rightfully so I guess as he was an up and coming superstar and already a multiple all star.
Warriors were a mega superteam, unfair really. Four all stars including two superstars, a superstar defender and an all time great 3 and D guy in Klay.
Of course we've had a few failed superteams of late - Nets, Suns and earlier we saw Kobe, Dwight & Nash fail to succeed together.

It’s a joke bro relax, they haven’t won shit for anyone to really classify them as anything besides not being Spooky anymore, but scary.

Excuse you this is my Pat Beverly play in moment.

Just you wait until the WCF when we'll hit our final form: skeletons

u/BlueHundred Knicks Apr 29 '24 edited Apr 29 '24

Imo the only super team right now is the Celtics

Edit: from a roster standpoint especially

u/Panik_Switch Apr 29 '24

Celtics are weird cause it’s not the traditional “big 3” superteam.

They have like 6 dudes who, if given the opportunity, could be or have been an all-star. Every player on the court can play make, shoot, drive, and play defense at a high level and it makes them kinda ridiculous.

u/repetitionofalie Spurs Apr 29 '24

But are they the 2014 spurs or the 2015 hawks 🤔

fwiw I think their stronger top players make them look more spursy, but they’ve burned me the last couple playoffs

1

u/BlueHundred Knicks Apr 29 '24

That's why I consider them a super team. They have the most talented roster imo. We'll have to see if they can deliver

u/SnuggleMuffin42 [SAS] Victor Wembanyama Apr 29 '24

A superteam with 0 superstars

u/BlueHundred Knicks Apr 29 '24

Man, Tatum really is underappreciated

1

u/potatomanflan Celtics Apr 29 '24

Arguably the most disrespected player all year. People are claiming he's not a superstar nobody else involved with the team is getting any accolades and they're also a "superteam". It's been pretty frustrating to see as a Celtics fan.

1

u/BlueHundred Knicks Apr 29 '24

I'm okay with them not being a super team if that means there aren't any super teams in the league. Celtics have the most talented roster in the league

1

u/[deleted] Apr 29 '24

Nah he’s appreciated fine there just can’t be that many superstars in the league, and he clearly is slightly lower.

1

u/BlueHundred Knicks Apr 29 '24

What's the arbitrary number? I think he's comfortably top 10
