I’m so tired of the divisiveness in this country.

Just admit it — the black Timberwolves jerseys didn’t need the blue line. No one sees that and thinks “lakes.”

Overall, home run rebrand. Everyone should get a raise. But I refuse to live in a world where we lie to each other.

Jaden McDaniels is eligible to sign a 2-year, $87 million contract extension this summer, per @DaneMooreNBA.

Would YOU offer him that type of deal?

[Kyle Theige @KyleTheige]

Biggest takeaway here is that some people are NOT ready for what NBA player salaries will look like in 2030.

[Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA]

If you were Tim Connelly, would you offer Jaden McDaniels a 2-year, $87 million contract extension right now?

McDaniels' current contract...
26-27: $26M
27-28: $28M
28-29: $30M

That contract extension would add on...
29-30: $42M
30-31: $45M

If you were McDaniels' agent, would you advise McDaniels to sign that extension?

I would trade one eyeball and at least seven fingers for a decade of Dylan Harper in a Timberwolves jersey.

[Kyle Theige @KyleTheige]

@JakePaynting Hey @grok is that bad?

[Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA]

[Kyle Theige @KyleTheige]

I think about this play as often as I brush my teeth (big Sensodyne guy btw).

*IF* the shot doesn’t go in, do the Mavericks still win the series? (Maybe!)

Does the KAT trade still happen?

Is Rob Dillingham a thing?

Such a wild sliding doors moment.

[Kyle Theige @KyleTheige]

Did OKC’s championship window just close?

[Kyle Theige @KyleTheige]

The Minnesota Timberwolves rebrand was one “blue trim on the black jerseys” away from absolute perfection.

Nevertheless, exciting changes leading into an exciting offseason.

[Kyle Theige @KyleTheige]

Good advice, thanks Steve.

[Steve123 @truthandgrace89]

@KyleTheige Kyle, represent yourself with a little more class and respect. Don’t stoop to others levels. If you are going to progress in your career as a reputable journalist this is a must.

[Kyle Theige @KyleTheige]

UPDATE: Evan Sidery is VERY online lol.

Also for legal reasons: Evan has had me (and apparently 41% of the human population) blocked for years. #Pathetic

[Kyle Theige @KyleTheige]

Couple clarifying comments here:

1. I do expect Ayo to re-sign with Minnesota. Probably on a 5-year deal.

2. It will not REQUIRE the Timberwolves trading Donte.

3. Evan Sidery is a fucking loser.

Dane did an excellent job of breaking down the Timberwolves cap situation and I compared a former DPOY to a pooper scooper.

If Gersson Rosas would have just completed the “Relationships in the Workplace” employee module the Timberwolves might finally be headed to their first ever NBA Finals.

[Kyle Theige @KyleTheige]

Glen Taylor was truly one of a kind.

[TheOldManAndTheThree @OldManAndThree]

"Man you better get us to the playoffs, because I traded my favorite player for you, and I don't know you!" -- This Jeff Teague story about the Timberwolves owner being upset because they traded Ricky Rubio for him is gold

[Kyle Theige @KyleTheige]
