Can I play devils advocate for a second?
I know the idea of Treylon Burks being a viable #2 option sounds like a horrific presumption. But, he was a first round pick. What if he goes into this season and shows the same ability that made him a first round pick to begin with? He has underperformed throughout his career, but he’s also shown flashes. What if he just needed a change of scenery and a good quarterback to actually show his worth?
Just in: Minnesota is sending Julius Randle and the No. 28 pick in the NBA Draft to the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team trade that sends Nic Claxton to the Chicago Bulls, sources tell ESPN. The Timberwolves will acquire Brooklyn’s No. 33 pick for Randle and No. 28.
Trae Young is staying in Washington D.C.!
After declining his player option last week, Young is signing a new long-term deal with the Wizards, sources tell @ShamsCharania.
