I was hoping that he would get bought out and end up with the Los Angeles Lakers. Would have seemed like a more pleasant direction for him than being permanently benched in Cleveland. I hope they show him respect for everything he has done for their franchise by waiving him and giving him an opportunity to continue playing elsewhere.

In more brighter news Okogies been killing it for the Sun's the past few games. He might be the 5th starter for that Suns team once they get Durant in.

Okogie as any role player needs some system around him. We couldn't provide him with it, he played PF under Saunders/Rosas, he played some PG, SF under Finch. I am happy that he has opportunity to play high level basketball in PHO

Who knows he might pull a classic former Wolves move and get better after leaving.

Looks like they are working on a buy-out

The final remnants of the trade for Utah are now just Walker Kessler and the picks.

I can't stand the way Woj talks. The cadence is like nails on a chalk board.

It's not like he's David Ortiz or Andrew Wiggins just languishing in Minnesota. He's been traded 4 times.

Those were corresponding moves, not part of the original trade

From a one game sample size, he threw 2 lob passes to Davis that looked good, I don't remember any mindless turnovers (just 1 TO in the game). That leads me to think that he either didn't buy-in or didn't want to be in MN. He can turn into the next GOAT and I still think it was a great trade. We need leaders and no room for players that need LBJ to keep them in check.

From Jazz point of view, Kessler and picks was what they wanted. The other players were salary fillers and incentive to move Conley. As it's proven out, non of them could fetch a 1st rounder. So we really should look at the Gobert trade from that perspective and not count Beasley and Bolmaro as #1s to Jazz.

Now that Towns won't be back for a while (maybe 10 or 15 games), does it make sense for Wolves to sign KLove? We need 3pt shooting and rebounds.

Crazy to me that he's been in Cleveland for 9 years after only 6 years here. Only 5 players have more seasons with the Cavs (due to injuries, just 12th in games played).
