Here’s a highlight clip from the WNBA championship that he did play by play for, just as a sample.

Seems fine. We’ll see.

If — and this is an IF — the Wolves’ trade for Rudy Gobert played some role in the Nets being unable to execute a deal involving KD, well, the Wolves come out winners again because they helped keep him from coming West.

A single Timberwolves trade put an end to small ball, the trade market, and league parity all at once

Hard to see these things "ending" because a medium market team made a trade that has their 5---who is best defensed by 4s and cannot defend 4s---becoming a 4. Wolves should be better, supporting parity, and may have made small ball work even better in the playoffs (though a good case could be made for the opposite for this particular team, as with Cleveland).

Whose tweet was that? Doesn't read like a Jon K tweet.

Wolves are a convenient scapegoat that likely had nothing to do with the Nets not getting their price.

Wolves might have paid more in 1st round picks than other recent trades, but what people neglect to mention is that while we gave out some very nice roleplayers, these types of blockbuster trades almost always have higher end talent going out. We did not give up anything on the level of an SGA, Ingram or even Lonzo Ball.

IMO, that balances out the draft pick capital quite a bit.

I'd say the real reason Durant is still a Net is there wasn't really a big trade market for a great player that is 34 years old, has played 90 games total the past 2 years and is showing signs that he can't be happy anywhere.

Add in that he has 4 more years on his deal with no outs, and he didn't have the leverage other stars have had.

I agree. as good as he is, teams are seeing he's never satisfied. I'm not sure what goes through his head but I'd guess he's thinking it's everyone's fault but his and he's the smartest person in the room. After one season, maybe less, he seems to become a headache and difficult to build around.
Tough to give up too much for that and regret it a year later, he's not getting any younger.

Basically:

• His registration expired
• He had guns with him, carrying them legally
• Except that they became illegal because he had <1g of THC oil and <2g marijuana with him
• So the cops arrested him

Yeah this is just an illustration that Texas sucks.

ORIGINAL: Karl Juhnke

Yes you’re right. From Star Tribune, this all stems from a traffic stop in Arlington Texas in May. Prince informed the officers he had firearms in the car. They did a search and found a vape pen with THC, and a small container of marijuana, both illegal in Texas. And it is further illegal to carry a firearm while committing a ‘crime’.

The warrant was delayed until now because the lab results only come back recently.

In other words I have zero concern about Prince’s ‘criminal’ activity.
