No Magic don't make sense. It would have been Reaves or Bane.

Part of me thinks Rudy for a reeves package is being talked about. With lakers needing a big. Even more after drafting wolves two centers. But, I’ll be first to admit. I’m wrong a lot.

Two rookie centers do not make an acceptable center rotation for a team trying to win (and Minny's as much win-now as LAL). At best the 1st round pick might be a 10th man that drops out of the playoff rotation.

At best is bit too decided. I mean, lively were picked 11th and were starting center on a final team his rookie season

They're conference rivals so it probably won't happen, but I really like the fit between the Rockets and the Timberwolves, and both teams have the means to make an offer that would make everyone happy.

Maybe. Not sure how it would work though.

Utah, doesn't seem to want to pay Kessler's next contract.


Where exactly is this coming from?


All from youtube for me, that's where, take that as you will.
Also they saying Ainge has shown interest in both Reaves, Knecht, but as of now who know.


Ah yes, "they" from YouTube. Definitely a source to be trusted.

I really like Reaves. I said at the time that the Jazz should have signed him for more than the max that the Lakers could have offered when he was an RFA, but I wouldn't trade Kessler for him. Zero interest in Knecht.

Let's just wait and see if he trades Kessler or not, he has up until next offseason if I'm not mistaken, whether it's to the Laker or other team, I do beleive he'll trade him, 2 years left or 1 I thought it was 1?.
