If Connelly sells #45 for cash I'm going to really start having Kahn flashbacks.

Maybe we can get a toaster oven and a set of steak knives for #45. Very disturbing precedent being set for the Lore and AFraud ownership group.

Maybe the money they get, gets us under a certain cap point? Just a wild guess. Grasping at straws here.

Yes
As the younger brother of Andrew Nembhard, who was elevating his standing in the league's eyes almost weekly as he helped the Indiana Pacers to Game 7 of the NBA Finals, his older brother's performance could only help.

9.8 APG seems impossible, but that's what I'm seeing. I want him.

I would love it if the fan base organized with the goal of costing the Wolves 10 million dollars per pick they sell. That way they lose upwards of 5 million per instance. Won’t happen, but it would be nice.

It's striking the difference between the drastic overpays for the trade ups from 16 to 11 and 23 to 13 and the absolute peanuts we got to go from 31 to 45.

Not a good look when one of your first transactions as new owners is trading draft picks for cash.
I feel like TC is going to be forced to pick one of Naz, Julius and NAW and Julius might make that decision for him.

Kahn had to sell picks to get cash to fire the head coach. I wonder if Connelly needs to find cash for a new extension.

Cash considerations has no impact on the cap. It only lines the owners’ pockets. Now, an argument can be made that it compensates the owners for going deep into the luxury tax… that makes feel a little bit like we have poverty owners though.

This is why I was saying I hate Glen, but have no love for the new owners either. It’s like escaping a clown car full of hobos by jumping into a steaming pile of horse manure.

Take a breath fellas. These two owners are still gonna have to come to the people and ask for help building an arena. If they're dropping back then there's probably nobody they like more than the guys they already have.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

I like Amari WIlliams as a bargain bin older center prospect to go 3 deep in case Senor Smoke is not ready.
