At the very least it seems better than the Gobert deal.

Speaking of hoops, anyone watch the draft?

Yeah, me neither.

That is a big deal...Connelly remaking the team that could not get to the finals. Reid is a fan fave, so that kinda sucks. The hope is Ball and Ant make this a better team....

Now about Gobert?

Not sure Twolfies are done with their remake yet.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

I don't follow the NBA any more. Is this a good deal for the Wolves?

Supposedly they wanted a complimentary guard to pair with Ant.

Timberwolves president of basketball operations Tim Connelly has for years been searching for a co-star to team with All-Star guard Anthony Edwards, trying to land the likes of Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo in recent months. But the team's hole at point guard was glaring, especially after guard Donte DiVincenzo ruptured his Achilles during the playoffs last season.

The team's core now will be its 24-year-old backcourt of Edwards and Ball and 25-year-old wing Jaden McDaniels. All three are under contract through the 2028-29 season.

Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.
