Damian Lillard, a nine-time All-Star, has been released by the Milwaukee Bucks as he recovers from a torn Achilles tendon. This creates a point guard opportunity for teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are dealing with aging players like Mike Conley and a lack of depth at the position. The Timberwolves have recently made changes to their roster, including adding young talent and re-signing key players, but fans are vocal about their desire to land Lillard despite his injury concerns.

With Lillard's high contract demands and uncertain recovery timeline, the Timberwolves may be better off pursuing more affordable and healthy options like Spencer Dinwiddie or Malcolm Brogdon. Fans on social media have expressed mixed feelings about Lillard joining the Timberwolves, pointing to the potential benefits but also the risks of his Achilles injury affecting his performance.
