Wolves land their starting 4 in Jonathan Kuminga! Smart for him to find a great situation to thrive in, and for the club who needed someone legit in the starting lineup at the right $$. Their pace should be the best it’s been in forever with LaMelo & Kuminga entering the picture.

There is a 0% chance that LeBron James signs with the Timberwolves. With that said… Is there a better landing spot in the entire NBA for him to chase one last title than in Minnesota?

My gut tells me 81 to 82 wins for this group.

Naz Reid is gone to Charlotte but he’s a Wolf legend forever. One of the greatest success stories in franchise history, from undrafted to 6MOY to $125 mill. He became the Wolves best bench player ever. Naz truly left his mark in Minnesota, and for that, he’ll be missed by many.

Just imagining off-ball Anthony Edwards with LaMelo, who can find him for tons of catch-&-shoot 3s. Ant shot 49.6% on those but only 2.3 attempts, think if they can get that to 5-6. Jaden backdoor cuts for slams, hit aheads in transition to inject pace, PnR lobs to Rudy and Joan.

My gut reaction: I love this for the Wolves. Losing Naz Reid hurts. It's Naz Reid. He's a cult hero in Minnesota. But LaMelo Ball is a 24-year-old All-Star PG who instantly makes the game easier for Ant and everyone around him. The floor general they badly needed. Big-time swing!

Wolves desperately need a PG but there's little out there in unrestricted FA. Coby White is likely too expensive, Collin Sexton isn't a great fit; both score first, same as Bones. Then it's replacement level or old vets like Conley. Except one tempting option: Brandon Williams!

I'm going to need a lot more coffee to process this LaMelo Ball-Naz Reid trade. Wolves get the dynamic PG they badly needed next to Edwards. The cost is one of their most beloved players ever, 1 future first, 3 first rd. swaps + 3 seconds. LaMelo-Ant is an electrifying backcourt.

BTW, what do you think of Jaden Bradley as a PG option tonight?

Don’t know a ton about him but he looks like a pretty good option at first glance!

Suggs?

Suggs would be absolutely wonderful if they had real substance to trade for him. Magic aren't going to salary-dump him like Randle so it's hard to see what deal can work unless they are extremely motivated to move him.

Is he actually getable? youtube.com/watch?v=QdXoyttT…

It sounds like Williams is very gettable and the Wolves can offer him a nice pay raise/strong role. Of course, the concern with him is 3PT% and defense, though he's a real PG who flashed last season and has room for growth. He's their best bet IMO in the UFA market.

If Sexton can be had for under 10M/yr, we should be jumping all over that

Guess i wouldn't mind him at that price, though he's really a scoring combo guard and they could retain Bones on a cheaper deal if they want that.

Happy to see Micah Nori get the head coaching job in Portland, he's deserving of a lead role, but a one-year deal with two team options is an odd contract. Hey, we like you, but not sure how much we like you.
