Argumentative freelance writer and chronically online troll who spends more time shitposting about the #Vikings and #Timberwolves than he does writing articles.
Daily reminder: Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins have won an NBA championship before Jimmy Butler.
8 years after calling them soft⦠now both have a title to their name.
Winning a title is one thing
Taking a more than $100M pay cut so you could do it with your boys and build out a roster is unbelievable
Jalen Brunson deserves all the flowers. One of the most unselfish moves in modern NBA history.
Worth every penny in opportunity cost
Happy that Karl-Anthony Towns got a ring, but he played 23 minutes, scored 2 points, then fouled out 15 seconds into the second half. He should thank Jalen Brunson for taking a $100M paycut. KAT's supermax contract would prevent any other team from building a contender with him.
KAT had 3 straight terrible games in the finals and heβs gonna win a ring. Brunson carried that team in this series. Donβt get it twisted wolves fans KAT hasnβt changed
The Timberwolves have shown interest in Kyrie Irving and Ja Morant, per @TheAthletic
βFew decision makers around the NBA have been as aggressive as Wolves president Tim Connelly, whose team went to back-to-back conference finals before falling to San Antonio in the second round of this seasonβs playoffs. Along the way, Connelly pursued stars like Kevin Durant and Antetokounmpo (at the February trade deadline) while showing some level of interest in others like Kyrie Irving and Ja Morant, but has yet to land a high-profile running mate for Anthony Edwards.β

The Bucks would want a package of the following from the Timberwolves for Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @sam_amick
- Jaden McDaniels
- Naz Reid
- Terrence Shannon Jr.
- Two tradable first-round picks (No. 29 in this yearβs draft and their 2033 pick)

The Minnesota #Vikings are parting ways with assistant general manager Demitrius Washington, senior personnel executive Jamaal Stephenson, assistant director of college scouting Pat Roberts and pro scout Salli Clavelle, @alec_lewis writes via @TheAthletic.
β’ Trade Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, & 28 for Ja Morant, Ty Jerome, & 32.
β’ Draft either Christian Anderson, Braden Smith, or Ebuka Okorie at 32nd overall.
β’ Extend Ayo Dosunmu & re-sign Bones Hyland
Now you have Ja, Ty, Ayo, TSJ, Bones, & a rookie at guard next to Ant.
