I was watching Media Day interviews.

It was bit odd at times some of them told they can't comment about the trade 'til it's official and others had no issues to talk about what Divi and Julius can bring to the team and how they'll miss KAT.

I wonder if after it's official this trade will be all and we'll witness the ultimate roster for the season.

But I get some unsourced feeling we didn't hear the last of it yet.

Team officials (ie. Connelly and Finch, Thibs in New York) are not allowed to talk about the trade until it's official, but players don't have that restriction.

Jaden cut his hair short.
Finch talking about getting him more involved offensively this year.

Thanks for the link.

Interesting enough Dozier participated in Media Day as well. I thought MIN have to waive him, because KBD was included in traded. Also with DDV he wont see any playing time...

Is Finch for real? He must not be including summer league when Josh was meh and kind of frustrating to watch. Really hope he has a break out season though.

I haven’t had time to get through Media Day, so maybe someone who has can tell me .. did every player participate?

If somebody was skipped, maybe they have been told they are going to be traded to get the roster to 15, assuming late reporting is true that we are taking on Keita Bates-Diop?

I did not see Daishen Nix interview, otherwise all players partecipated. No mention of KBD at all.

Propping him up to trade him? If they could get a 2nd and have a team absorb his deal, it would save them salary and lux taxes, unlike waiving PJ Dozier and his guaranteed $1 mil, if the KBD reporting is accurate.

TBH of all players who were interviewed yesterday, Miller looked and sounded kind of disconnected

I agree. I don't know wha it was, but something felt a little off. I don't necessarily think it means anything, I actually think it's a bit of his personality. But it definitely stood out to me as well.

IF Minott fixed his shoot, his upside is huge.

He's one of the best basketball players on the planet and can't get the time of day in the NBA so far. I'm sure it's frustrating to him, Minott and Garza. We might need to add Shannon and Dillingham to that group soon. I hope not.
