Around the NBA:2025-6

Butler went down with a pretty significant knee injury tonight. I wonder what impact this will have on any Kuminga trade?

In any event, the Wolves might be benefactors in their two upcoming home games against the Warriors...

Torn ACL for Butler. Does that change things for the Warriors? They have been in the rumor mill to trade for Giannis

They were never getting Giannis,

but they were considering MPJ. I don't know if that happens now. If I'm Brooklyn I want ALL the post Curry draft capital (so anything after 2028-29)

At the end of last season, the KAT trade looked like a classic win-win type trade where both sides came out feeling good about it without one side clearly feeling better than the other. But lately it feels like we are trending up with two of the guys traded in our starting lineup and producing and KAT starting to go wobbly. Oh, and then there is that young kid named Joan Beringer.

the downside on our end is that we're gonna be super apprehensive to trading Randle even though we should remain open to the idea. Also, DiVincenzo tends to pick really bad times to have bad games. We got him because we thought he had a clutch gene and that hasn't manifested itself yet.

You’re right about Donte. But on the other hand, he brings intensity and intangibles every minute he’s on the floor. That’s especially important for this Wolves team, which has by Finch’s admission, lacked consistent intensity. I also agree with you on Randle. I like what Randle brings to this team and we shouldn’t part with him lightly. But our front office should be open to trading him - especially now (or next summer) when his value will probably be at its peak.

Boy this NY drama has been fun to watch from a distance. For all the nice guy accolades KAT racks up he's polarizing to players and fans. Brunson hasnt done enough to merit his ego but such is the NBA. Not sure anyone would care that much if this wasnt the Knicks. That KAT salary is going to be hard to recoup any value from. Putting Knicks into the list of players available to be traded certainly makes for more possibilities at the least. Maybe TC can come out of this all with some legit talent?
