What's the bet we get stuck with 3 back to back to backs?

NBA teams will indeed play two preseason games. Same opponent both games, one in each arena. Pairings TBD, but likely geography-based.

So Wolves v. Blazers, then?

If it's geography-based we should play against the Bucks. Rubio vs. Jennings would be cool.

Milwaukee is my top choice for the first game because of the Jennings/Rubio matchup. It would be cool since Rubio never played an NBA game, so you don't know what to expect.

My brain is not ready for this. It went into Basketball shutdown mode in July.

They better release that schedule soon, I have to find out what games conflict with my previous engagements and work out what games I will be splitting with a friend.

Just to Maximize our frequent flier miles, the first one will be home against Dallas, away at Portland, and away at Miami. The second one will be at LA Lakers followed by at Boston followed by at LA Clippers. The third one will be home against New Orleans, away at NY, followed by away at Sacramento

I think it will likely be worse. the first and second set of back to back to backs will actually turn out to be 6 games in 7 nights.

NBA executives told that they can start talking to agents, and practice facilities will open to players on Friday, source tells Y! Sports.

To be clearer, teams can start talking to agents on Wednesday about deals for players. No deals can be official until Dec. 9.

You forgot about the game that's scheduled in China because the NBA wants to improve their market there.

He might as well get his fine money together early.

Kahn: RJ Adelman will be in the front office & be involved in personnel evaluation, game preparation, analytics/info. #Twolves

If thinking Kahn will move Beasley soon, in general terms, he just shot down any major moves before Dec. 25. #Twolves

#Twolves beefing up their stats analysis. Also have a new scouting coordinator - Manny Rohan.

Kahn did talk to Love & Beasley's agent yesterday. Have to think D. Jordan (same agent) came up as well. #Twolves

These in particular are really key. The big question about this team in my mind is whether (or when) Beasley will be traded. I like Kahn's approach here. We need to see what we have in Williams (and how Beasley has weathered the offseason/lack of supervision). The other big variable I think will bear on this question is how Beasley responds to input from Bill Bayno and RA.

Also, advanced stats!! This has to be a RA special import from Houston. This is great news, since Kahn has always said he doesn't care much for advanced stats.
