KAT GETS HIS FINGERTIPS ON IT! WHAT A PLAY ON THE LAST POSSESSION 😮 KNICKS TAKE A 3-1 SERIES LEAD IN THE NBA FINALS.

During his draft workout, Anthony Edwards ran a baseline-to-opposite free throw line sprint in 2.75 seconds — breaking the known NBA record (2.87), per @JonKrawczynski. The Wolves didn't believe the stopwatch, so they made him do it twice more. He clocked 2.75 and 2.80 after a grueling 50-minute workout. (nytimes.com/athletic/7311049…)

Karl-Anthony Towns long-term future with the Knicks is uncertain even if they win the NBA Finals, per @sam_amick “If the Knicks do, in fact, tie the bow on this NBA Finals package, there will still be a discussion to be had with Towns about securing his services for the long-term. He has one guaranteed season left on his current deal, with a player option worth $61 million for the 2027-28 campaign, and is eligible for a massive extension (four years and a combined $272 million). The reality of today’s NBA means there are second-apron concerns for the Knicks to take into consideration, and a desire to be prudent enough with the payroll so as not to compromise roster depth. But the tone of those talks, given everything Towns has done here, should be far more flattering toward him this time around. He deserves immense credit for that much.” (nytimes.com/athletic/7337488…)

Anthony Edwards has questions related to the Timberwolves’ roster that he wants answered, per @WindhorstESPN. Minnesota figures to get aggressive this summer to add a star-level player alongside Edwards.

Victor Wembanyama’s agent says he refuses to do endorsement deals with soda companies "They all want him, but Victor will never sell soda. Because he doesn’t want to kill the kids." (Via @JaredWeissNBA / h/t @TheNBABase )

Stephon Castle on suggestions that the Spurs are not floppers and if they are leaving gamesmanship on the table: "I don't really know to answer that, because I sell calls too, I can't lie."

What happened to his game man? I wonder who taught him to become the flopper he is now.

The Timberwolves ultimate fear is Anthony Edwards requesting a trade, per @DWolfsonKSTP "But it's about satisfying Ant. The fear is, that at some point, does Ant through his representation, Bill Duffy and others, signal a desire to be elsewhere? We are nowhere near that point, but the fear is there.” (h/t @RTNBA )

With the Wolves getting knocked out by Oklahoma City and San Antonio these last two seasons, asked Naz Reid about what they need to do to be able to catch those teams. "Probably just the moodiness. You look at both of those teams and they're playing for one another, they're excited to be on the floor with one another, they're a team where they're selfless... I think we have more than enough talent... But just being less moody. I think that's just the name of the game for us, just being less moody and more selfless."
