This one won't age well either Slim and it won't make his Daddy happy. Mychal wanted him to sign with the Lakers. The Lakers wisely said no. BREAKING: Klay Thompson is heading to the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year deal worth $50 million.

Paul George left the Clippers and signed a 4yr max deal worth $212M with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Was mowing lawns today so didn't see or listen the game but sounds like the Lynx shut down the Sky in the 4th Quarter to move their record to 14-4. The best in the WNBA Western Conference...

Minnesota Gopher Cam Christie was just taken by the LA Clippers with the 46th pick in the draft. Good luck to him too.

13-5 in the bottom of the 5th. If you're sitting in the stands in Arizona you must be thinking this game will never end.

Yep.He wasn't gonna play for the Wolves and his contract was just dead weight, Glad they were able to find some one to take him too. Hope he gets healthy and has a good year for them.

That's a fair point. After living through the David Khan years, where he seemingly only drafted players who played the same spot as the few good players he had, that does hurt. Though an NBA team only has a 15 man roster. Drafting a guy who has talent but you already have talent in that spot...

Winner: Minnesota Timberwolves Tim Connelly just might be a basketball genius. After building a championship foundation with the Denver Nuggets, he reshaped the Minnesota Timberwolves to make this year’s Western Conference finals. And now this offseason is off to a tremendous start. Connelly...

NBA Draft.Net gave the Dillingham pick a B and the Shannon pick an A. https://www.nbadraft.net/2024-nba-draft-instant-analysis/

The Score had grades from A to D PICK PLAYER POS. SCHOOL/CLUB 8 Rob Dillingham G Kentucky 27 Terrence Shannon Jr. G Illinois At times in the Western Conference finals, Timberwolves who weren't Anthony Edwards had issues creating their own shot off the dribble. That issue is immediately...

8. Minnesota Timberwolves (via Spurs): Rob Dillingham, G Grade: B Dillingham is one of the best guards with the ball in his hands and can get downhill and put pressure on the rim. There's no doubt that he'll be electric in Minnesota, but his size at 6-foot-2, 164 pounds, is concerning for a lead...

Minnesota Timberwolves: B+ Rob Dillingham (8), Terrence Shannon Jr. (27) Minnesota parted with a pick swap in 2030 and a 2031 unprotected first in order to bring Dillingham in after San Antonio selected him. Mike Conley will continue to be Minnesota’s starting point guard, but Dillingham...

8. Minnesota Timberwolves (via Spurs and Raptors): PG Rob Dillingham, Kentucky This is a really high-risk, high-reward pick for Minnesota, which traded for the pick during the draft from the Spurs. Dillingham is a dynamic offensive talent but comes with questions, particularly about his size...

27. Minnesota Timberwolves: Terrence Shannon Jr., Illinois Grade: B+ The Timberwolves have repaired their backcourt depth in one draft. After trading for a bucket-getter in Dillingham at No. 8, they land another prolific scorer in Shannon at No. 27. Shannon is an explosive wing with a strong...

You think there should be a lot of C to F grades in the 1st round of the draft? I've seen 4-5 in most of the summaries. Wonder how many C-F grades are given for the NFL 1st Round? The MLB Draft? Don't know about that but I'd think that most of the analysts for that draft haven't seen the...

USA Today: 8. Minnesota Timberwolves (via San Antonio Spurs), Rob Dillingham, G, Kentucky Kentucky's other guard is another impressive shooter from deep and a skilled playmaker. But his size at 6-foot-1 and 164 pounds would make him one of the smallest guards in the league. Grade: B...

Terrence Shannon Jr 6'6 "219 lbs Illinois Pre-Draft Analysis Strengths: Shannon is an explosive wing who has long thrived defensively and in the open floor but made strides with his floor game as a fifth-year senior at Illinois. Weaknesses: While he had an exceptionally efficient season, it...

Pre-Draft Analysis Strengths: Dillingham is the most dynamic scoring guard in this draft. His combination of shiftiness, ball-handling, passing and shot-making prowess showed vividly off the bench at Kentucky. He averaged 15.2 points in 23.3 minutes per game. Weaknesses: He lacks the ideal...

The Lynx get the 4th Commissioner's Cup Championship by beating the Liberty 94-89. Fun game to watch too. https://www.espn.com/wnba/boxscore/_/gameId/401677672

And Bertie is certainly beatable. At Arkansas he was 29-34 overall thanks to his non-conference scheduling. In the SEC? He was 11-29. Finishing at .500 or above once (5-3) in his 5 years there. Kind of lines up with his 3 years at Illinois where he is 18-19 overall and 12-15 in the Big Ten.
