Is Nerlens Noel someone who can help at backup Center? I know he's played for us in the past.

He's washed and hasn't really played in 2 years.

It's nothing they're friends. If he was spotted talking to the Timberwolves GM Tim Connelly that would be interesting.

Sure.

This places the Knicks Senior vice president of basketball operations in MN shortly before Ian Begly reports that NY had casual conversations about high salaried veteran centers.

Not sure how long he was here, but he obvious made a stop in Minneapolis before heading to Summer League.

These are just facts you can speculate over. Nothing more. If you'd rather read into a KAT photoshop image with no context so be it.

This is an interesting coincidence. Not a theory, WilKAT.

If you've been following along here, you should know by now that in an attempt to return to the NBA, his hands have been undergoing the most intensive treatment at one of America's best facilities.

Confidential info on the procedure he's undergoing is below.

Very interesting, but could mean nothing. They are friends.

It’s probably nothing. His kids are still living in Minny and more importantly his current wife (the Wolves staffer that he cheated on his then wife) also lives and runs a sports agency in Minnesota.

Re-sign Precious, wait for the Wizards season to go down the drain officially, and make an offer for Jonas Valanciunas' contract.

Wow - I've heard rumors that he doesn't have the same character we see in most of our players. At least he's still involved with his current wife. That's something.

Yeah it was shocking that the Wolves fired him so soon after hiring him. The "official" reason was supposed to be discord and contention in the front office but the rumor was that Gerson's behavior with the staffer was just to icing on the scandal cake.

Too bad Jonas signed with the Wizards so quickly.

Yeah, I haven't seen a more obvious "we're signing him to trade him at the deadline" deal in a long time. But we just have to wait for the Cooper Flagg race to get intense and strike.
