## Resource

The Minnesota Timberwolves are shaking up their roster and lineup strategy, with head coach Chris Finch hinting that Jaden McDaniels won’t be permanently moved to power forward — despite rumors suggesting he might fill that role. Finch emphasized flexibility, drawing from past tactics like matchup-based adjustments when Karl-Anthony Towns played PF. The traditional starting five is up in the air, with Ayo Dosunmu possibly sliding to sixth man or other roles, as the Wolves prepare to play the long game with their roster moves.
