I think this is one of the best analyses of the Ball trade.

I thought this video was a pretty good assessment of the situation. Sounds like it was created by AI but hard to know.

As we keep talking about Ant, LaMello and Ayo while thinking about whether Jaden can play PF, I thought it made sense to just reflect for a moment on how good he is and how great he can be.

“The reason why I say it's a C- is because inevitably it'll be January and we'll assess things and say "this needs to be fixed" and we have no way to fix it. That is the major concern entering the season, so regardless of whether we like the moves or not, they better work, because there's ...

It's way too early too rate the offseason because there is more uncertainty with this Wolves iteration than I can remember. But Aldridge did it, so I'll weigh in. Right now I would agree with his 19th best (11th worst) and give the offseason a C-. Sure they brought in a borderline superstar (and he...

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7454547/2026/08/05/nba-2026-offseason-rankings-lakers-celtics-spurs/ In the linked article, David Aldridge ranks the Wolves as having had the 19th best (11th worst) offseason in the NBA.

It’s sorta a problem you solve backwards. In general the first sub out will be Rudy. Reduce his minutes, keep him healthy. Or he picks up some fouls. Therefore the first sub is probably Joan or Ayo depending on if we can go small or not. TJ subs opposite Lamelo. The rest is just working Jalen Clark...

I’m not going to join this debate. I’ll only say this: The fact this debate is taking place is an example of what’s wrong with the WNBA. What’s worth discussing in my view is the great season the Lynx are having, the emergence of Miles as a star, the joy of watching a player like Clark and the terri...

https://youtu.be/h-jnqK2lFGA?si=Xh6V4Ye9Y9G_cfxu I posted this Growls and Howls video in this thread because it has tilted me towards starting Jaden essentially at the PF position and Josh Green starting at SF. I that starting lineup will work if we have Lyles and Love for rotation depth at that pos...
