​Yesterday, we brought you the story of the TimberTrolls, the hottest thing to hit Minnesota Timberwolves' online fanbase since... well, they're probably the hottest thing to ever hit the Wolves' online fanbase.

And while they've only been at it for about a month, the Spaniards have already accounted for a list-worthy trove of photoshopped photos and animated GIFs. So without further ado, and in honor of the No. 7-wearing basketball sensation that made Spain give a shit about Minnesota's NBA team in the first place, here's the top-seven Troll-inspired images thus far.

​It turns out Ricky Rubio's Minnesota arrival reinvigorated the Timberwolves in more ways than one.

We expected Ricky to draw some Spanish fans to the team -- but nobody saw the Minnesota TimberTrolls coming.

The TimberTrolls are a group of Spaniards who watched a T-Wolves game or two because of Ricky, but ended up taking a shine to the rest of the team. Now some of the T-Wolves' most active and devoted internet fans, they're largely responsible for the hilarious and popular animated GIF images that have given the 2012 squad a folklore appeal.

Scola spiked the ball off Love's balls days before he got stomped.

​Just as the Timberwolves hit the .500 mark for the first time in over a half-decade, the team will have to play two games without its best player.

Kevin Love has been suspended two games without pay by the NBA for stepping on Luis Scola's chest and face during Saturday night's victory over the Rockets.

The play came days after Scola felled Love by spiking the ball off Love's, um, balls during a previous Wolves victory over Houston. (Video of both incidents below the jump.)

Forbes quantified the pain Wolves fans have felt since KG was traded.

​These days, things are finally looking up for the Timberwolves.

The team just signed all-star forward Kevin Love to a 4-year extension, Ricky Rubio has been as good as anyone could've hoped, and after a road win last night against the defending champion Dallas Mavericks, the T-Wolves are now 8-10 -- the latest in a season they've been within two games of .500 since Kevin Garnett was playing alongside Ricky Davis.

These glimmers of positivity are magnified by the fact that the last seven years have been almost entirely miserable for T-Wolves fans, a reality confirmed by Forbes' ranking of the "worst NBA teams for the money" during the last half decade.

K-Love is excited to see you when he gets back to MPLS.

​Just hours before a deadline that would've allowed him to become a restricted free agent next summer, Kevin Love and the Timberwolves have agreed to a compromise, reports ESPN.

According to Marc Stein and Chris Broussard, later today K-Love will sign a contract extension paying the all-start power forward $62 million for four more years donning the Wolves' blue and black. Love will have a player option after his third year "to ensure that he likes the direction of the team."

If he opts out after the third year of the deal, he'd be a free agent during the summer of 2015.

When a contract extension is done, K-Love will be happy to report it himself, thank you very much.

​Kevin Love has agreed to a 4-year, $62 million extension with the Timberwolves!... or has he?

Around 8 p.m. last night, the Pioneer Press' Ray Richardson -- a relatively low-profile T-Wolves beat reporter -- put his reputation on the line by tweeting that a deal is done. But shortly thereafter, other Wolves reporters and K-Love himself took to the Twittersphere to refute Richardson's report.

The episode serves as a fascinating example of how quickly misinformation can be disseminated in the social media age.

T-Wolves management must soon decide whether K-Love is worth a max contract.

​Before a national TV audience on Friday night, Kevin Love shot the Timberwolves back into relevance after years of being regarded as the NBA's Siberia.

As the buzzer sounded, Love drained one of the most dramatic game-winning three-point shots in franchise history, pushing the T-Wolves past an up-and-coming Los Angeles Clippers squad (video of the shot is below the jump).

It's possible that shot could be worth nearly $20 million for the all-star power forward. That's because T-Wolves management has just three days left to sign Love to a maximum contract extension, and during negotiations, Love's Friday night heroics can only serve as more evidence he's worthy of a maximum deal.

​The Timberwolves announced today that they will wear retro 1967-68 Minnesota Muskies uniforms for six home games this season.

The jerseys are an homage to the ABA team that only played one season in Minneapolis before moving to Miami.

Though the team will only wear the Muskies unis for a handful of games, the team has repeatedly tweaked its regular garb in recent seasons. Here's a look at how the team's uniforms have evolved since the T-Wolves' inaugural season of 1989-90:

​After nearly a decade of ineptitude, this season's incarnation of the T-Wolves is generating some buzz.

But last night's disappointing loss to Milwaukee dropped the team to 0-2 and featured the shoddy defense and ball-handling characteristic of the horrible Kurt Rambis teams fans are so eager to forget about.

Are the Timberwolves on their way out?

​All right, let's face it. The Timberwolves are awful.

Statistically, they're one of the worst teams in the NBA. And ever since Kevin Garnett left, we haven't seen a whole lot to give us hope that they're getting any better.

But, aside from their terrible on-court returns, could the franchise itself be on the verge of collapsing? According to one news analysis: yes.
