    Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Wolves?

    Which of the following options would you choose: 1. Give up 2-3 rotation players plus Berenger plus draft capital for Giannis; 2. Randle, Dilly and salary filler for Ja; or 3. Do nothing except for the elimination of the 12 minutes a night going to Conley.

    Hate to say it but not having Conley available for his usual twelve or so minutes was the difference between defeat and victory.

    You can "sit them down" with college players, though you can't really do that anymore in the age of player free agency. The NBA is a players' league. Coaches lead by persuasion, respect and relationships. Most of the enforcement is done by veteran players. Hard asses get fired or, in the case...

    Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Wolves?

    Let's not forget that that these guys are under capitalized. (No actual evidence that Bloomberg and/or the Google guy are involved.)

    As I've said, I really hope the wolves don't trade for Giannis if they have to give up Jaden. The two best upgrades the wolves can make at the deadline would be to pull Conley from the rotation and give those minute back to DDV. His 3 pt shot was the last thing to go and it's gone. Secondly...

    Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Wolves?

    Giannis is old, expensive and half broken down. Plus he comes with his value less bro. Obviously, they aren't giving up Ant. I really hope they also don't give up Jaden or Berenger.

    Timberwolves have glaring need for a bench scorer as NBA trade deadline nears

    They can't keep running Conley out there. The Hyland boomlet is over. He gives you something about once every five games.

    Why not us .... wheres our curt cignetti

    Cignetti may never win another national championship but he succeeds in one area where Fleck consistently fails. He's a master tactician and in game manager. Fleck is a solid leader and a very strong life lessons guy. He's one of the least shrewd in game coaches I've ever seen. Just...

    The wolves made the Cavs look like NBA champs last night. Given the previous game and the Spurs game tonight, it was a predictable outcome. I hope the wolves are ready to go tonight.

    They had two excellent runs during the game, including the one you referenced. The rest of the night they were unfocused. Agree that tomorrow will be interesting.

    I was at the game last night. I was actually more impressed by Cleveland then the wolves. Cleveland has talent, depth and they move the ball. The wolves were super casual and basically tried to give the game away. For most of the game Ant and Julius (esp Julius) took turns dribbling the air...

    ***OFFICIAL NATIONALLY RANKED IOWA AT MINNESOTA RIVALRY GAME IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Does anybody know if any of the injured players are coming back this year? Part of the reason for Iowa's late run was the gophers were gassed. Having only seven playable guys is not sustainable.

    The gophers won the game on back door cuts and at the FT line. Shocking.

    Arena Financing

    It looks like the new market for stadium/arena financing has been established in Kansas City. The Chiefs 40% “contribution” will presumably come from the same sources as the Vikings: PSL’s and the NFL’s loan non repayment program. The Chiefs’ annual rent will actually go to their own r/m expense...

    Ogie, What do you think about the rumors that Burrow wants out of Cincy and that this might be one of his preferred landing spots? What do you think it would take to get him? Pie in the sky?

    I checked on AI (FWIW) and the standard fine for getting tossed and failing to leave in a timely manner is $35K. The commish can bump it to $50K if he sees fit or $50K if the coach won't leave at all. It suggests that Finchy and Ademan's fines were pretty standard. What you are implying (I...
