The worst graded trades of the NBA offseason, per @espn:
Timberwolves trading for LaMelo Ball: D+
Celtics trading Jaylen Brown for Paul George: D+
Suns trading unprotected 2033 1st for Miles Bridges: D+
Nuggets moving on from Peyton Watson: D
The Timberwolves refused to include Jaden McDaniels in trade conversations with the Bucks for Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @JonKrawczynski (https://t.co/hnqANZhxwk).
Minnesota views McDaniels as a pillar piece alongside Anthony Edwards.
Today's game was probably the best bench performance from the Wolves since the Ayo Dosunmu addition.
Naz Reid (26 minutes), Ayo Dosunmu (21 minutes) and Bones Hyland (16 minutes) combined to put up
38 points
10 rebounds
8 assists
shooting 5 of 10 from 3, 10 of 14 from 2.
Asked Rudy Gobert about the importance of the Wolves' bench group.
"It is a real weapon... I think championship teams need bench, and I think we do have a really good bench now."
Wolves are playing like a team that has never played together before ... and this group out there hasn't. Just going to have to work through the kinks.
Thank you so much NCAA for denying credentials for the Final Four!
I am independent & not a traditional reporter they’re used to but honestly feels ridiculous knowing the volume of credentials they give out.
Have had zero luck cutting through so here I am publicly sharing my disappointment.
Will still be at the Final Four obviously & doing all the “coverage” I need to off site & in the stadium, but doesn’t sit right.
After trading away James Harden and Ivica Zubac, the Clippers are fully signaling a pivot.
Kawhi Leonard could be the next star on the move from Los Angeles this summer.
In the meantime, a huge win for the Thunder to potentially score a top lottery pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Every act of senseless violence is awful and always feels so far away.
That is until it happens close to home & forever will affect a friend and his family.
My co-worker Mike’s daughter Harper was one taken away too soon on Wednesday.
This is tough

The Hornets are open to trading Josh Green, who they acquired last summer from the Mavericks.
Green had a down year, but the 24-year-old has strong bounce back potential on a contending team.
Green will make $13.7 million, then become a $14.7 million expiring contract in 2026.
@hnejr@JonKrawczynski@PAOnTheMic Naz and Julius are ideally both 4s next to a center. If Gobert gets traded, I think they’d have to acquire a new starting center.
