BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.
Wolves will roster their two second round picks, simply to save money and stay below the be apron.
They NEED another back up center (Naz isn't a center, and Joan will be in foul trouble if used heavily) AND a pg.

Just in: The Portland Trail Blazers are hiring Minnesota Timberwolves lead assistant Micah Nori as the franchise's next head coach, sources tell ESPN. Nori -- widely regarded as one of the league's top assistants -- has been in the NBA coaching ranks since 2009 and now takes over in Portland on a multiyear deal.
Anthony Edwards has been frustrated since Karl-Anthony Towns was traded, per @WindhorstESPN@BannedMacMahon: “The NBA vultures are swirling around Ant in anticipation of him potentially becoming the next superstar who's available in the trade market” 👀

I hope after this finals, EVERYBODY sees Wemby as an emotional, entitled, and soft player who is HEAVILY protected by the NBA.
The "Golden boy" image isn't going away any time soon...
He's definitely not "ethical" haha
