The Timberwolves are emerging as a potential destination for Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the Bucks would reportedly seek Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid, Terrence Shannon Jr., and Minnesota’s two tradable first-round picks in return, per @sam_amick & @eric_nehm
“The Timberwolves, meanwhile, are also seen by some as an emerging option for the Bucks. While Antetokounmpo is known to prefer a trade involving a team in the Eastern Conference, league sources say the Bucks are interested in what Minnesota has to offer. If the Timberwolves want to get into the mix, league sources say the Bucks would want a package including Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid, Terrence Shannon Jr. and their two tradable first-round picks (No. 29 in this year’s draft and their 2033 pick).”

It’d be so much work to do it but it’d be interesting to see the number of missed foul calls for him compared to someone like Ant who doesn’t flop/sell calls cause I’d be willing to bet Ant has significantly more missed foul calls cause he’s not overselling every bit of contact
Sam Presti just fired back at SGA critics with some eye-opening numbers:
He drew 415 fouls this season.
Only 11 were challenged.
Only 4 were overturned.

Kendrick Perkins says Wemby got exposed last night 😳
“I’ma tell the Spurs fans this: Y’all got a problem. Y’all have a serious problem. The DPOY got exposed last night.”

And he just grabbed a fistful of Brunson's jersey on a drive and got away with it. I say this as a compliment. Young players often don't push the envelope in these moments. He's playing like a vet and daring the refs to make a call.
If the Clippers can get a return like some of the packages I heard were being offered mid season for Giannis then I might actually blow a hole in my pants
Knicks getting swept in the Finals is gonna be so rewarding…it’s really unfortunate that it’ll likely be a super annoying Thunder team to do it but NY fans getting destroyed is always priority number one
Portland Trail Blazers have requested permission to meet with Los Angeles Clippers assistant Jeff Van Gundy as he has emerged as one of the finalists for their head coach opening, league sources tell me.
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.”
