The NBA superstar journey inevitably encounters a situation like Nikola Jokic has faced against the Wolves where their burgeoning legacies are perilously threatened.

NBA Draft Report: Kel'el Ware Of Indiana

by Zachary Cohen

Kel'el Ware has stretch center potential, while also possessing a floor as a playable rim-runner, which says a lot about him as a prospect.

The Wolves Owned All 4,700 Basketball Squares

by John Wilmes

Minnesota's defensive effort in Game 2 was a transformative sight. In what appeared to be an effort to become one with their team name, they swarmed, smashed, hounded, snarled, took, and destroyed for 24 straight minutes to start the game. Not an inch of the court was safe.

Devin Carter won't be a star, but he could certainly be a starter or high end rotation player with his ability on both ends of the floor and do all the little things.

Utah out: #9 and a future 2nd
Utah in: OKC #12 via HOU and its own pick back

OKC out: #12 and Utah protected pick
OKC in: #9 and a future 2nd

Why for Utah: Don’t love someone at 9 but OkC does so they trade back but get their pick back

Why for OKC: Jump up in the draft

i dont think a 3-4 spot bump in a weak draft like this is worth a potential late lotto pick in 2025.

Utah's 2025 pick is protected 1-10 and they may not even have Lauri that season. Getting that back is not worth dropping 3 spots.

I think it depends on who they are looking at drafting, if the position 9-12 doesn’t matter much then why not. I go the other way and wonder if OKC would do that in this draft.
