Interesting. Wendell Moore and Ant grew up playing together and are good friends. I did not know that.

I wonder if that sort of thing plays into draft selection. Obviously, you’re drafting for talent, need, all the normal stuff. But as a tie breaker, if you’re considering 2-3 guys who are toss-ups, maybe take the one who will make your star happy and add to chemistry on and off the court.

Edit: looks like my link doesn’t work. It was just a short clip of Moore saying he played against Ant since they were 10 or 11 and named couple of tournaments where they played together.


It works fine for me. Maybe you have to be logged into FB?

We add some size, rebounding and defense at the swing-forward position.

Not a great shooter, but he has to be guarded, and he's another ballhandler/playmaker to help keep the offense flowing.

I like this. I believe this was the only slot and salary they had open to play with in free agency barring further moves. This is good use of it.

So about $50 million per. Tall cotton!

Fortunately its in before the next big cap hike which will end up normalizing the money quite a bit.

Adrian Wojnarowski@wojespn
The Timberwolves are sending Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, Walker Kessler, Jarred Vanderbilt and multiple first-round picks for Gobert, sources tell ESPN.

Jon Krawczynski@JonKrawczynski
The picks going to Utah, per sources: unprotected 1sts in 23, 25, 27, a swap in ‘26 and a top 5 protected in ‘29

This feels like KG and Pierce to Brooklyn...

2023: 31
2025: 33
2026: 34
2027: 35
2029: 37
Not to mention the Stepien rule severely limits our ability to trade future picks for the next 9 years (basically we can't without first acquiring more).

Contender? Hell, we need to win a championship for this to make sense.

Rudy Gobert also thinks there are 52 states?

D'Lo will be better with Gobert.

He’s had his most success with a big that can set screens and then roll to the hoop. And Gobert is a lot better at both than Jarrett Allen.

Hopefully KAT will take Nine 3PA/Game.
