Didn’t you bid us good night 2 hours ago because you started Flagstaff Beerfest 2 days early?

Kidding of course, as we might wind up in your area soon.

I rested up and came back. I'm no longer in Flagstaff. Try Punta Cana Dominican Republic.

If the Wolves cared much at all about getting Rocco they would not have traded back from 36 to 45. Rocco could have easily been selected in that range.

I'm not able to do an "And 1" on the mobile app but you, sir, get this post as my appreciation for understanding the reference to "The Donk"!

If this kid grows a few more inches he will be eye to eye with Shawn Bradley! Not a bad lotto ticket to scratch. I'MN.

The funny thing is, with all the agent-driven nonsense we saw, it probably also told the team exactly who would be coming off the board on each pick discussed.

The agency he is under, ProMondo Sports, is based in the Twin Cities. He spent the whole pre-draft process training right here in Minnesota and didn't really go to other markets. He has also spoken in interviews of going to a playoff game at Target Center in the upper deck this year. Last summer, he spent time in Minnesota as well.

Came to say just this after listening to Connelly. If we move back 9 spots and 20 spots in a 32 pick round are already locked in then that means 6 or 7 of those 9 spots you moved back are never gonna take your guy. If you have a feel for what the other 2 teams are gonna do as well then why wouldn't you move back and pick up some cash? It's probably why they couldn't get any draft capital from LA either.
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.
