I know Julius and Donte are already in town (and I would assume Keita is too) so they should be able to get right to work tomorrow assuming the trade call happens tonight.

Correct, Jon first reported that on Saturday, I believe.

I mentioned earlier that this three-for-one trade will take is over the 15-man roster limit.

I should also mention that a team can be over that limit right up until opening night, so the trade could be legally completed on our end right now.

Where are we at in regards to the 21-man offseason limit? I'm assuming one of the Exhibit 10 guys will have to leave camp early?

Ha ha ha can you ride a horse brother? If so you're invited :D

A mate had a couple hundred head of cattle to bring in for branding and whatnot so helped him out for a few days. A long time on horseback so still recovering.

Was hoping that Bobby Marks’ initial suggestion that Minnesota squeezed out another second would materialize, but it’s good that the details have been fully established.

Yes he is. I really prefer TSJ, Miller and Minott to him.

It was being reported that the Wolves might get an extra 2nd.

Now it sounds like we are kicking in a second to get CHA to eat the Knicks salary.

LOL! This is another superficial, uninformed opinion from someone who doesn’t watch the Wolves, and just repeats what somebody told them. I could imagine a calmer-voiced Kendrick Perkins repeating these words.

You should always question people who have 1790 subscribers after 562 videos. Dane Moore, who only covers one team, has four times as many.

Least valuable 2nd between Denver and Philadelphia, so it was literally the least valuable asset we had.

These are things I still remember about KBD by heart:

- he has like 7'3" wingspan, and he is only 6'7" 230 lbs
- he has got one of the nasties eurosteps
- his cuts had perfect timing
- his 3pt shot was inconsistent
