They were trying to cook me in the replies

If Kirk Cousins hits free agency, I'd be interested in the Vikings adding Sam Darnold as a bridge QB. He was Shanahan's priority FA last year and sets a good bar for a rookie QB to clear.

[JV @JVSwaps]

Indiana and Dallas were frustrating landmines in '24 and '25 because he was playing really mature and controlled basketball on those playoff runs. 3 wins away from a title.

[JV @JVSwaps]

I'm just so happy for KAT. He's on the perfect roster to highlight his strengths + mitigate his weaknesses. Playing in the East helps but these matchups have been uniquely good for him too.

[JV @JVSwaps]

@allthingsmn Totally reasonable. I still think he punked you with this finals run though lol

He provided a lot more to his team than you're giving him credit for! He just happens to have two special lotto guards behind him.

[JV @JVSwaps]

@allthingsmn It's just a fit thing. The Timberwolves obviously want a point guard. He's one of the only high level point guards who isn't ancient, a reclamation, and could reasonably shake loose.

I'm not advocating for this but it's clear why he's been popular.

[JV @JVSwaps]

@allthingsmn You picked a very bad time to victory lap is all I'm saying! It doesn't matter if you find him distasteful, he already accomplished more than you gave him credit for.

I wouldn't want him as MN's #2 right now but he would clearly be a useful piece for a team without a PG

[JV @JVSwaps]

@allthingsmn He traded a 1st for D'Angelo Russell!! He traded UP for Jarrett Culver!!!! He drafted Leandro Bolmaro before Jaden!!!!

[JV @JVSwaps]

@couldbepatrick @AlanMcCaulley You don't typically get two high picks unless you lose a lot of games. It's why the Thunder did it. Do you need someone to explain tanking to you?

[JV @JVSwaps]

@MylesGorham85 Some fans are way too desperate for retribution. It's not enough that the Wolves are actively pursuing trades. Randle getting humiliated would make them feel better.

[JV @JVSwaps]

@fork_king Right, a good coach would get on an offseason podcast to trash his players. That'll be helpful!

[JV @JVSwaps]

@couldbepatrick I think Chris Finch is talking about the current Thunder core that was built with pick #6 and #2 in back to back years, not the 2010 Thunder.

[JV @JVSwaps]

@NicholasMMiller I think he will. They wouldn't have hired him if they weren't willing to give him control. It's not like the GM needs the coach to "answer to" him.

[JV @JVSwaps]

@ButtaSports They're definitely real. It's not like they were released early on purpose. That's just how these things typically go.

[JV @JVSwaps]

@MNSportsTakes A civil lawsuit is happening in the real world

[JV @JVSwaps]

Until there's clarity on this, it would be awesome if the Timberwolves beat spent their time covering literally any other trade target.

[NBACentral @TheDunkCentral]

Zion Williamson has been accused of rape and physical abuse in Los Angeles by a Jane Doe claiming to be his former girlfriend, per @DailyMail

“In addition to two specific rape allegations, the New Orleans Pelicans power forward is accused of a continuing pattern of 'abusive, controlling, and threatening behavior toward Plaintiff,' as detailed in the filing provided to Daily Mail by Doe's attorney.”

[JV @JVSwaps]

@OGSkol You're free to guess about what happened but until there's clarity, this is exponentially less responsible than any other trade target.

[JV @JVSwaps]

@krazyboyz100 Dane, Jace, LockedOn, Skor North

[JV @JVSwaps]

People are drawn to buy-low opportunities for talented players but there are dozens of high profile trade targets to discuss. Does he really need to be dominating the conversation right now?

[JV @JVSwaps]

@OutHereWriting @allthingsmn Does a Suggs trade mean that the offseason is over?
