Whoa! I'm really surprised Charlotte is engaging as I thought he really turned the corner last season and started playing winning basketball (he's always been very skilled).

Welp, we've talked a lot about how Rudy would be a good fit in Charlotte, although part of that is because LaMelo could actually throw the types of passes he can catch!

Kevin OConner is saying the Wolves are in on multiple big names, not just Melo

Shams wouldn't have reported it if it wasn't real. Now he didn't say Charlotte was shopping LaMelo per se, but he did say they were engaging in talks with interested teams, so they certainly aren't hanging up the phone.

As for Stein's report, it makes perfect sense that Connelly would be in the hunt given our needs.

I want Tim Connelly to understand that simply being interested and having that report leak is not impressive. You don't have to do this to convince us that you're working hard. Make smart moves. Don't put yourself in rumors for players we couldn't get anyway. It makes us look thirsty.

C'mon, you seriously think that a guy that built a title team and has been at this for quite a while is so insecure that he has to put himself in rumors as a way to curry favor with the fanbase?

Connelly is ALWAYS on the phone and talking to everyone. The Wolves' come up in literally every big-name trade and then usually something totally unexpected happens that no one reported.

It would be easy to loop in the Randle trade as outgoing salary in a multi-team trade before July.
