"The Minnesota Timberwolves are on the verge of making one of the worst trades in NBA history. If Karl-Anthony Towns ... [brings] a championship to New York, that's going to make the [T-Wolves] look like fools."

@Ju_101111 @FirstTake @KendrickPerkins Not only that, there was an argument to be made at the time that Randle was the least important piece of the trade for what the Wolves were trying to do. Donte's on an amazing contract, and they got a 1st rounder as well. It was never about maximizing success these past 2 years.
English
@FirstTake @KendrickPerkins Correct me if I am wrong but it was also a financial move, i think the Wolves never believed Randle was a same level player as KAT.

@GuyAbeetus1 Rusty, why haven't you tweeted about Memorial Day today?? I see lots of posts about the NBA, as well as a handful of retweets (you've been busy on Twitter today, yikes!). But nothing from the heart about veterans. Why are you not honoring them? Do you hate the troops?
English
@gumbo_skol @GuyAbeetus1 @MikeUntitled Rusty's extremely sensitive. Poor guy needs a safe space where everything is just the way he wants it, and it's really hard when he can't find that. 😢

On our way to Bangor, Maine for a rally with @grahamformaine. The crises facing our country are too serious for establishment politics and tinkering around the edges. We need candidates like Graham who will take on the greed of the oligarchs and deliver for working families.

@NotBrooks8314 @TotalProSports He's just taking the opportunity to get his money back that he lost in the divorce. Fair play.

@TotalProSports I can't wait to hear is explanation on how this hurts him and his family. "oh no! Everyone knows I have a gargantuan penis! Whatever will I do!?"

Former NFL star Matt Kalil is reportedly suing his ex-wife Haley after she publicly shared intimate details about their marriage online, including repeatedly describing his manhood as “two coke cans, maybe even a third.”
Kalil says the comments crossed the line, caused harassment, and negatively impacted both him and his family.

@ThreeTots @mejh1963 I showed you what goes on in Minneapolis. Everyday. Here is a picture of what goes on here. You stay there. I will stay here. Best thing I ever did was move away from that shit hole 23 years ago.

@ThreeTots @mejh1963 There is a difference between being scared and not wanting to deal with any of it. I choose to live where I can leave my keys in my car. But you do you.

@Michele_Tafoya What an important endorsement! A known asshole with zero ties to politics or the state of Minnesota. If you can get one from Lenny Dykstra next you'll be golden!

John Stockton built his career on something simple: doing the fundamentals right, every single time, no matter what the crowd said.
That's exactly what Minnesota needs right now. I'm honored to have his support. Momentum is building and common sense is making a comeback.
Let's get to work, Minnesota!
English
@PhilMackey Yeah, I don't know that anyone ever argued that KAT couldn't be the 3rd or 4th option on the best team in the Eastern Conference. It's more about whether you want to invest max contract money on a guy like that.
English
You’re right…
KAT was, in fact, a dominant force against San Antonio in the 2nd round...
And it’s been impressive to see him carving up OKC in the conference finals…..

@valkvool @TheInlet72 @alx @grok That's what I've been thinking. There's been an alarming spike in deaths from the unvaccinated recently. That's definitely what this was.
Sad. Avoidable.

@DraeSantana @jrborman13 This is what I keep coming back to. This is the 2nd year in a row where the overall sentiment from players and coach is that the players don't listen to/take the coaching. And I can't come up with a 3rd option to add to your two courses of action. So....
English
@jrborman13 If your players don’t like or never listen to your gameplan. Then you either start benching players or get someone who they’ll listen to. Because this is just a whole lot of yadda yadda atp
English
I do think there is a pretty massive disconnect between
The reality of players making gameplan mistakes that make coaches look bad
And
Fans just blindly blaming Finch for things that are significantly more nuanced than they seem while watching games
Jon Krawczynski@JonKrawczynski
Wrote the day after the season ended that Chris Finch would be back. Tim Connelly today: “He was masterful in the Denver series. We’re not here w/o Finchy, the playoff success he’s had. I’m just thankful he’s a partner and thankful he’s our head coach.”
English
@maplewedgie I don't know if Finch would have found many minutes for Joker. Maybe 10 minutes off the bench? He's gotta let Julius and Rudy get theirs, those are the rules.
English
well the Wolves would’ve picked up Joker and not lost to the Spurs

@jesse210spurs @wheatonbrando @SwipaCam Trading KAT for what they did gave them immediate value (Julius, Donte), future value (1st rounder, ie Beringer), and most importantly the flexibility to build a team to maximize Ant's prime. How well they're able to do that is yet to be seen, but given the needs, they did well.
English
@jesse210spurs @wheatonbrando @SwipaCam You make it sound like the team chose to be cheap. Salary caps and aprons exist. KAT is wildly overpaid. He's not nearly good enough to be a #2, yet he's paid like a #1 option. It's not like there was some massive haul out there coming back in return for him that they passed on.
English
The Gobert trade remains a failure, same as it always was.
Franchises get 2-3 players EVER like Ant. The only goal once you get one is to win a title.
At no point ever for one second were the Wolves serious title contenders with Rudy, and the investment set the team back years.
Hardwood Paroxysm@HPbasketball
I really hate how when a team loses we relitigate everything. The Wolves gave up a bunch of picks for Rudy and he had a bad Game 6 against a better team. They traded KAT because of the CBA for Randle and he had a bad series. They made two WCFs and got to the second round, for a team that has been a historical joke since KG in 2004, TWENTY years ago. They built a good team, they couldn't get it to put it together. It doesn't mean it wasn't worth it.
English
@jesse210spurs @wheatonbrando @SwipaCam And on top of that, Julius is making a little over half of what KAT makes. He's going to be a hell of a lot easier to move off of than KAT ever will be.
English
@jesse210spurs @wheatonbrando @SwipaCam It wasn't though. This team wasn't beating OKC last year or the Spurs this with KAT. I'm no Julius fan, but KAT has the exact same issues against big, physical teams. You saw him struggle for years against teams like that. Nevermind the fact you also got Donte and Beringer
English
@jmdpotrorahm @HPbasketball There isn't a single team in the Western Conference (or the east if you were to teleport teams to the west for a season) with a ceiling higher than the second round outside of OKC and San Antonio. And it's going to be that way for the next several years.
English
@HPbasketball they built their team with the nuggets in mind
sadly for them the game evolved and their strategy left them with a conference finals ceiling..now I wud say it's second round
