@REichten Cold like Minnesota!

New LaMelo Ball billboard in downtown Minneapolis

@kingkb2099 @CulturedUpdatez Tbh it sounds like just super ambiguous shade throwing

@CulturedUpdatez Going off of how he described the conversation with him telling JB, "I know who you are," it sounded like he was trying to spit wisdom and JB was not going and Kyrie was getting mad because he couldn't get off whatever he wanted to

Jaylen Brown & Kyrie Irving have a sit-down & reveal almost getting into a SERIOUS FIGHT during practice while they were teammates on the Boston Celtics 😳 JB: “What’s crazy is, we almost FOUGHT one time” Kyrie: “I know” 👀 JB: “I haven’t heard from Kyrie, i didn’t know what was going on, we was in Boston, I haven’t heard his voice in like 2 weeks” Kyrie: “I definitely used to go silent, I didn’t know how to express myself” JB: “You decided you needed to have a heart to heart with everybody” JB: “You confronted me, I was standing under the basket & you pointed at my face & was like ‘I know who YOU ARE! ”. 🫵🏽 Also JB: “I’m like, that’s GREAT! I know who I am too, Kyrie’s like, No you don’t! ”. Kyrie: “It was an overflow of emotion that I was dealing with, bro I told you I lost my Grandfather that year, I was supposed to Sign back for 5 years(w/ Celtics), I announced it, then my Grandfather passed a week later. After I left the team to go to his funeral, I didn’t take ANY time off & went straight into the game. “It was ME, as a man I came at yall CRAZY,” -Kyrie taking accountability & blames himself for his outburst on JB in practice JB speaks on respecting his intense practice battles w/ Kyrie because it proves Kyrie is real. He prefers this raw honesty over the hidden agendas and politics of the NBA. JB on relating to Kyrie: “People in Boston said I dont smile, they say I’m so intense, yeah & I wonder why?” Kyrie says: “I remember that, I had to deal with that Stigma” on his stint in Boston Just two brilliant minds, mutual respect, no scripts, one honest conversation. DOPE.

@EpicoLmao @6GodLisan @CulturedUpdatez Once you go flat, you don't go back

@6GodLisan @CulturedUpdatez Lmao that was a long time ago the Kyrie now doesn't think the earth is flat 🤣

No one else in the NBA is making these types of plays 😱 one of one. 24 years old. Playing alongside an elite NBA talent in Anthony Edwards. 2026-27 Minnesota Timberwolves will be something special to watch...

There have been 4 in the last decade. Coincidentally, the Wolves & Hornets have been a part of three and the Balls have been a part of two! 2024 KAT trade included UTA, MIN, CHA, NYK 2023 D-Lo trade included LAL, UTA, MIN, DEN 2021 Lonzo Ball to CHI, included CHA, NO, WAS

@KyleTheige How common are 4 team trades in the NBA? I can't recall another

Exciting day for the Timberwolves as they officially acquire LaMelo Ball but also a sad day as the organizations says goodbye to the draft rights of Matteo Spagnolo.

@AaronZ_21 @natetykwinski @KyleTheige And Joe Smith.

@natetykwinski @KyleTheige Right next to Johnny Flynn’s

@Scottie5Alive @justjordanb1 @katsuxbt Drawing is a children's activity. So is painting. Egamers play video games. Actors play pretend. Chefs bake cookies. Musicians make noise. Arborists climb trees... almost anything kids do can be monetized.

@WolvesWireIA @justjordanb1 @katsuxbt Brother, it's a children's game and they get paid millions. Many of them are spoiled and play victim. It is a business, of course..Not sure what you're saying.

Giannis says he showed up EARLY to work out with Kobe, and the Black Mamba made him pay for it “Working out with Kobe, I showed up before him. I love that I did it, but it was a mistake” “Kobe came and said, ‘What are we gonna do?’ I said, ‘Whatever you tell me to do.’ He said, ‘Go right, make 25.’ I usually make four or five. I said, ‘Yeah… make 25.’ I made 25. ‘Okay, go left, 25.’ Then, ‘Go right, two dribbles’” “We worked out for two hours, intense, and I’m thinking, I shouldn’t have shot before this, I’m tired, I wanted to show him my best version” “But here’s what players won’t do today: they won’t be vulnerable. They won’t show weakness, or show appreciation to somebody better. If you always think you’re the best, you can never learn” “I had my notebook, I asked a lot of questions, he answered every single one, and never made me feel like we were running out of time. It was one of the best experience in my career”

@Scottie5Alive @justjordanb1 @katsuxbt It's only a children's game if that is as far as you were able to progress... It's a business.

@justjordanb1 @katsuxbt Not to mention a lot of these cats act like they're oppressed but are making millions of dollars playing a children's game.

@RandleMus @WolvesDenNBA Jaxon Hayes is nice. Slept on in La La Land

@WolvesDenNBA This next level coping. Yall tried this shit with Naz and it turned out he is just a 6th man/fringe starter on a bad team. Joan Beringer comp will be a Jaxson Hayes at best and that’s okay too.

I hate to count my eggs before they hatch. But I get this feeling that Joan Beringer is gonna be insanely good very soon. And Im not even talking in your prototypical rim running big man type of way. His ceiling might be much higher.

@GalacticoVikes @HoodiiAnt_ You are who you can guard.

@HoodiiAnt_ Clark is more of a PF than a PG

Potential Timberwolves Depth Chart PG: Lamelo / Hyland / Clark SG: Edwards / TSJ / Evans SF: Dosunmu / Green PF: McDaniels / Lyles C: Gobert / Beringer Two-Way/Injured Donte (IR) Zikarsky (C) Enrique Freeman (PF) Zyon Pullin (PG) Thoughts?

@walt26317 @cdott_x @TheSportsminn @KingJames @claudeai @Timberwolves So how does LeBron make GS better but not LAL?

@WolvesWireIA @cdott_x @TheSportsminn @KingJames @claudeai @Timberwolves Should've been pretty mid, and they were

Alright @KingJames, @claudeai simulated the upcoming season 1000 times with you on @timberwolves #Heat #Nuggets #Cavaliers #Sixers #Warriors and your choice is clear. Here are the results:

@walt26317 @psyopkiller @cdott_x @TheSportsminn @KingJames @claudeai @Timberwolves They finished 11th of 27 in net rating and 5 teams won more games. "Deepest team in the league" is based on what metric?

@walt26317 @psyopkiller @cdott_x @TheSportsminn @KingJames @claudeai @Timberwolves The "5 new guys" were role players, not an upgrade. Kukoč was a rookie off the bench (10.9 ppg), Kerr/Wennington/Longley were depth, and Jordan's spot went to journeyman Pete Myers (7.9 ppg). They replaced departed veterans (McCray, Tucker, Walker)... they didn't replace Jordan.

@walt26317 @cdott_x @TheSportsminn @KingJames @claudeai @Timberwolves By that logic, the Lakers would have been what last season??

@cdott_x @TheSportsminn @KingJames @claudeai @Timberwolves They were in the play-in last season and they’re way better now and if they get LeBron they’re absolutely gonna get better.

@SBGreatestPF @TheSportsminn @KingJames @claudeai @Timberwolves Mythos 🔥

@TheSportsminn @KingJames @claudeai @Timberwolves Was this Sonnet Opus or Fable

@Ravers "Grizzlies" he doesn't know he's apex predators

Rich Paul: “Now, lets get to the g-… to Minnesota” Did he almost accidentally say “Let’s get to the good stuff” when talking about the Timberwolves? Everything is pointing towards LeBron going to the Wolves 👀

Trey Lyles the former member of the best college basketball team ever (38-1 UK '14-'15) and college teammate of one Karl-Anthony Towns

Temu Rui is a nice pickup.

Trey Lyles is a slightly older, slightly taller Rui Hachimura. Lyles is coming off of a 2nd place finish in the Euroleague. Shot 42% from three over 2 seasons with Real Madrid.
