BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.
Isaiah Evans when asked about playing with Anthony Edwards.
"I feel like I played with other big stars -- maybe not as big as Ant -- but Cooper Flagg was at Duke, and I feel like when we was on the court together I complimented him well. And I got to play a lot with Cam Boozer. I just feel like I'm able to know how to play off of guys like that."
Isaiah Evans on who he's looking forward to learning from on the Wolves.
"Jaden McDaniels is a lot bigger than me, but I'm really interested in learning from him, how to effect the game on the defensive side as much as he does. Obviously when Donte gets back I really want to be able to fill in that role behind him and just learn how to come in and be that guy who is impacting the game on the wing alongside the guards."
The Timberwolves now have the flexibility to re-sign Ayo Dosunmu and have available the $15M non tax midlevel and $5.5M biannual exception.
Minnesota will also create a $33.3M trade exception.
Naz Reid is going to be the starting power forward for the Minnesota Timberwolves for the first time in his career. This move is a big statement of belief in Reid and Jaden McDaniels to take the next steps in their development.
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.
