@Timberwolves go get Jaden Bradley please

[Wolves Lead @TWolvesLead]

Multiple sources close to Anthony Edwards have reportedly dismissed him being unhappy in Minnesota:

"One said there was no truth to any of it. Another reiterated Edwards and his team love Minnesota, and they think being here, in this location with this franchise, is the 'ideal' situation."

An obtained letter from Larry Ferazani, General Counsel of the NFL Management Council.

Dear Mr. Sorsby:

We are in receipt of your Petition for Special Eligibility, dated June 16, 2026 (“Petition”).  As announced earlier today, the League has elected not to conduct a Supplemental Draft this year.

Under our Collective Bargaining Agreement, the League retains sole discretion to determine whether it is appropriate to conduct a Supplemental Draft in any given year. The League has not conducted such a draft for several years and, prior to your submission, the League had no plans to do so this year, as no other player has sought entry. Your Petition—filed three business days before the deadline, without any supporting information or documentation, and only after abandoning your recent litigation efforts to avoid NCAA sanctions—does not provide a basis for the League to alter those plans. The issues presented by your Petition are too significant, and too closely tied to the League’s core integrity interests, to permit meaningful review within the timeline presented.

The sole reasons identified in your Petition for seeking entry into the Supplemental Draft are that you have been “declared ineligible” by the NCAA, have “exhausted all of [your] avenues to continue in the NCAA,” and “want to now play in the NFL.” The Petition provides no information regarding the basis for, or timing of, the NCAA’s decision. Public sources, however, indicate that in May 2026 the NCAA issued a determination declaring you permanently ineligible from participation in college athletics, based on a sustained pattern of improper gambling activity during your collegiate career at three different universities.

The League does not have the complete record of the NCAA’s investigation, and you did not provide any such materials with your Petition. Available information nonetheless indicates that, over the course of your collegiate career, you knowingly engaged in repeated and significant violations of NCAA rules designed to preserve the integrity of athletic competition. Reported conduct includes placing wagers on your own team and teammates and, to avoid detection, establishing or funding accounts in the names of intermediaries who placed bets on your behalf. There are also reports that you may have violated state criminal law.

Your Petition does not address these matters. Nor does it demonstrate accountability for your conduct or indicate whether, or how, you would adhere to the League’s rules and policies governing the integrity of competition. Instead, even after receiving notice of the NCAA’s decision rescinding your college eligibility in May, you sought to avoid the consequences of that determination through litigation rather than accepting responsibility for your actions, and you pursued entry into the NFL only after abandoning those efforts.

As Commissioner Goodell has emphasized, participation in the NFL is a privilege that carries with it significant responsibilities, including accountability. By all accounts, you are a talented player with the potential for future success. We encourage you to focus on preparing for possible entry into the NFL through the 2027 NFL Annual Draft.

Sincerely,
Lawrence P. Ferazani, Jr.

@SpursCulture Shameless unserious league, it’s going to be a physical game 5

[Daig Muse⚡️ @DaigMuse]

The NBA Constitution and Rule Book have statements that support that Wemby should have been suspended.

This is a clear RULE BEND for the NBA’s newest poster child. Unserious league.

[Todd Smith @toddsmith78]

Wemby wouldn’t have been fined if he pulled a fucking gun and shot Naz Reid. This is the most disgusting act not to give any negative repercussions

@OwenCraft7 Fayetteville, Arkansas. Do they have fun there?

[ESPN Insights @ESPNInsights]

The Timberwolves won the clincher against Denver without Ayo Dosunmu (21.8 PPG this series), Anthony Edwards (18.5) and Donte DiVincenzo (10.8).

They are the first team in NBA history to win a playoff game while missing 3 or more players who averaged 10+ PPG in that series 🔥
