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.
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.
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.
@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.
@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.
@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
@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?
@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.
@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.
@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.
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.”

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?
