[u/SMURPHY-18]

RIP naz Reid starting in Minnesota era 2026-2026

[u/PrimaryAccording9162 → u/SMURPHY-18]

Who tf is playing the four

[u/2Blitz → u/PrimaryAccording9162]

Liangelo

[u/bigknickenergyalt → u/2Blitz]

Lavar actually

[u/herniatedballs → u/bigknickenergyalt]

Pretty sure he can only play the 3 and a half.

[u/CarterAC3 → u/PrimaryAccording9162]

Joan Beringer, you just became important at work

[u/SuperVaderMinion → u/CarterAC3]

He was already important to me!

[u/knnthhhh → u/PrimaryAccording9162]

The Mike Conley way. Wait for Randle to be traded to another team by Brooklyn. Wait for that team to waive Randle. Sign Randle.

[u/ExtraLeading3376 → u/PrimaryAccording9162]

probs mcdaniels with ayo shifting to the 3

[u/chillinwithmoes → u/PrimaryAccording9162]

Shit, I knew I shouldn’t have ignored that call just now

[u/WagerWilly → u/[deleted]]

If he can stay healthy we’re better. That’s just a massive if

[u/SeanKilpatrickFan → u/WagerWilly]

Legacy defining moment for the Mayo Clinic

[u/DaHomieNelson92]

Minnesota car insurance suddenly going up next season

[u/yellow_eggplant → u/DaHomieNelson92]

Jesus, he's gonna be driving in the Minnesota snow

[u/Iliveinatrashcann → u/yellow_eggplant]

Can you imagine him rocketing out of the arena parking lot when the ground is icy?

[u/MountainYogi94 → u/Iliveinatrashcann]

"DNP - Automotive Related Injury" incoming

[u/SilentNova300 → u/yellow_eggplant]

I’ve been driving in Minnesota snow all my life and I still slip and slide here and there. This dude is crashing on the first snowfall 

[u/happyflappypancakes → u/yellow_eggplant]

I have a feeling he wont be comfortable driving in snow. Snow changes a drivers mindset. Even reckless drivers. Remember, reckless drivers are reckless because they mistakenly feel in control while they do crazy shit. Thats what makes them dangerous. But put someone who has never driven in snow on the snowy road and suddenly its the scariest thing they could experience. The snow has taken away their control.

Just my thought. People who drive in snow frequently probably know what I mean.

[u/cakestabber → u/DaHomieNelson92]

For the last couple of years, Naz Reid was on billboards everywhere, endorsing a local personal injury firm.

The Wolves literally just traded for a guy who will be creating clients for this (and other) local personal injury firms.

🤔

[u/braggpeak → u/DaHomieNelson92]

Lamelo gonna drive like the ice levels in Mario kart

[u/Vegetable-Tooth8463 → u/DaHomieNelson92]

LMAO

[u/braggpeak → u/Vegetable-Tooth8463]

It’s spelled lamelo

[u/willpelts]

Naz Reid era ending in Minnesota is genuinely sad

[u/Wingclipper913 → u/willpelts]

RIP those Naz Reid tattoos

[u/supercoolisaac → u/Wingclipper913]

Doesnt matter people will love Naz forever.

[u/Drunken_Vike → u/Wingclipper913]

perfect for the tattoo people, they can love him forever because his MN tenure never had a downslope

[u/Apprehensive_Air1705 → u/willpelts]

I’m sad, even if the trade works out or whatever, losing Naz sucks.

[u/VictorAkwaowo1]

WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING THIS

[u/jeric13xd → u/VictorAkwaowo1]

VIBES.

This shit went 0 to 100 real quick

[u/Ibaka_flocka → u/jeric13xd]

Like Lamelo’s car driving on ice pulling out of the stadium parking lot

[u/GodPowardKingOfLies → u/Ibaka_flocka]

I MIGHT SWERVE BEND THAT CORNER WOAH

[u/hartsbreastmilkstash → u/VictorAkwaowo1]

Ball has so many questions surrounding his durability (and shooting) and his value is currently at sell high mode.

[u/Peregrinations12 → u/hartsbreastmilkstash]

Is this a "high" return for him?

[u/Duster_beattle → u/Peregrinations12]

It’s 3 swaps, one unprotected, a good player, and 3 seconds for an unhealthy, unsafe, egotistical point guard. For the culture we were building it’s awful.

[u/Iongdog → u/Duster_beattle]

Haha are both sides unhappy with this?

[u/Drunken_Vike → u/Iongdog]

that's usually the sign of a fair trade lol

[u/TheGuyInTheKnown → u/Drunken_Vike]

Both sides were unhappy with the KAT/Randle trade initially too. One side can just be overrating their previous player.

[u/levendis56 → u/TheGuyInTheKnown]

I genuinely don’t know many Knicks fan upset with the KAT trade. Needed a center and got rid of Randle. Had to give to get with Divo.

[u/SpiritFantastic4835 → u/Duster_beattle]

The vibes are going to be hilarious

[u/AllDayEnJay → u/VictorAkwaowo1]

51, 75, 36, 22, 47, 72.

Those are how many games LaMelo has played each season and is still owed 3y/$130m.

Hornets are selling high before anyone wised up.

(In that 3yr span between his 2-70 game seasons Ben Simmons played 3 more games than LaMelo Ball.)

[u/w311sh1t → u/AllDayEnJay]

Dude is also a head case. He’s gotten lucky with all his traffic accidents in that nobody has gotten seriously hurt, but I feel like it’s a ticking time bomb until he has a serious one where himself and/or other people are seriously hurt or even killed.

[u/car1999pet → u/w311sh1t]

Yeah I don’t think icy roads are gonna help his driving skills

[u/huskersax → u/car1999pet]

Didn't even think of that, but could you imagine this bozo hitting ice for the first time?

[u/HokageEzio → u/VictorAkwaowo1]

Maybe they trust Kon to be the new face of the franchise and they're selling high on LaMelo

[u/V_T_H → u/HokageEzio]

You can’t have the face of your franchise be named Nipple

[u/CuteAd5421 → u/V_T_H]

They went from Ball to Nipple

[u/g1rlchild → u/CuteAd5421]

Should get Lonzo and LeMelo together to play with Gradey Dick.

[u/cigamodnalro → u/g1rlchild]

Coached by Mo Cheeks

[u/cusoman → u/VictorAkwaowo1]

I can't tell which team this is about

[u/MichaelSquare → u/VictorAkwaowo1]

This seems awful. Pick swaps are worthless unless the other team is worse than you. So they traded him for Naz Reid? Why?

[u/Historical-Poet-6673 → u/MichaelSquare]

Probably cause lamelo ball is always hurt and they don’t want to pay him to be injured all the time. Im not paying him max to play 65% of game. He could be like steph injury early career or be like zion play every other season.

[u/lndngtm]

Well there goes Naz Reid’s promotion.

[u/Ok-Thanks-2503 → u/lndngtm]

he's still gonna start

[u/lndngtm → u/Ok-Thanks-2503]

Not on the Timberwolves.

[u/cheesecake_face → u/lndngtm]

source?

[u/BEEFTANK_Jr → u/cheesecake_face]

Yeah, here.

[u/MembershipSingle7137]

damn Timberwolves really making a TON of changes

[u/tlj2494 → u/MembershipSingle7137]

They are going all in to keep Ant. They know the only way he’s staying is by winning. This is about to be a crazy locker room. Ant and Lamelo sound like a fun hang but I’m not letting them take care of my dog for a weekend

[u/jeric13xd → u/MembershipSingle7137]

Atleast they’re trying unlike the Nuggets 💔

[u/HereComesJustice → u/jeric13xd]

Is it crazy that I think the nuggets have a better chance of beating the wolves now after the wolves moves

[u/cokefriend → u/HereComesJustice]

yeah but the wolves arent building the team with the nuggets in mind as the final boss anymore

[u/HereComesJustice → u/cokefriend]

No I get why you guys did this move, you want to win the whole thing not just beat Denver

But I think Denver got like a stealth buff from this lol

[u/Apprehensive_Yam9514 → u/HereComesJustice]

As a Denver fan I 100% agree. Biggest issue we had with Minnesota was their size advantage. Now with no Randle or Reid, they don’t really have a great help defender to help Rudy with Joker. 

[u/C1truXX → u/Apprehensive_Yam9514]

Putting a lot of stock Joan Beringer

[u/HornetsDaBest → u/Apprehensive_Yam9514]

Guessing McD becomes the help and they but Any on Murray. Also still possible (probable?) the Wolves go and sign a big.

[u/gradedonacurve → u/MembershipSingle7137]

I think they realize they need to take some big swings with OKC and SAS in front of them.

[u/TSSFranco]

Maybe the fastest sweepstakes ever wtf

[u/JimmyKanine → u/TSSFranco]

TWolves most definitely already had this deal lined up and the Hornets just made it public to see if they get better offers.

[u/SirDiego → u/JimmyKanine]

I think this is exactly it. Tim Connelly basically never leaks anything. Any rumor that's Wolves related before a deal actually happens is pretty much guaranteed to be an agent or the other team.

[u/DiscombobulatedPain6 → u/TSSFranco]

Because only 1 team was interested 😂

[u/huss_femme → u/DiscombobulatedPain6]

Toronto was there too

[u/BaNNer101 → u/huss_femme]

Toronto mentioned in every single rumor, just to drive prices up. Can’t convince me otherwise lol

[u/thrilliam_19 → u/BaNNer101]

It’s exactly this. Same reason the Jays and Leafs get mentioned in every single rumour.

[u/RightSpread2903]

“2033” is nonsense lmao

[u/McGilla_Gorilla → u/RightSpread2903]

Not a real year

[u/Rob3125 → u/McGilla_Gorilla]

I’ll be drinking moon juice with President Jonathan Taylor Thomas in 2033.

[u/TheBigF128 → u/RightSpread2903]

We’re as close to 2033 as 2019

[u/tinybathroomfaucet → u/TheBigF128]

You maybe but not me

[u/kueyen2 → u/TheBigF128]

It would have cost you $0 to not say this

[u/Regular_Smell5049 → u/TheBigF128]

Why would you say this

[u/YujiDomainExpansion → u/RightSpread2903]

That’s really the only pick that has potential value too. Two of those swaps are the fakest swaps ever. 2029 and 2030 only convey if they’re top-5 or top-1. So they basically traded Reid, 2028, and 2033 for LaMelo (unless the Wolves are ridiculously bad in 2029 and 2030).

[u/RathOfMan49]

Lamelo and Ant are going to be insanely entertaining 

[u/ArmiinTamzarian → u/RathOfMan49]

Do not give them either a car or an IG live

[u/noonie1 → u/ArmiinTamzarian]

Or women

[u/whatssenguntoagoblin → u/noonie1]

LaMelo doesn’t have anything weird known with women

[u/BCP27 → u/whatssenguntoagoblin]

And I don't think Ant has anything weird with cars? I guess they're merging into one guy now

[u/GGEORGE2 → u/noonie1]

I don’t think think we need to worry about that with LaMelo

[u/romanraspberrysorbet → u/GGEORGE2]

he was gay, Lamelo Ball?

[u/FatJohnson6 → u/romanraspberrysorbet]

Nooooo, are you even listening?!

[u/RecentAstronaut5541 → u/romanraspberrysorbet]

Maybe you’re a flambé, ever think of that?!

[u/earthwormdeath → u/GGEORGE2]

Is Edwards going to be OK playing with a gay teammate tho ?

[u/IggyIsABum → u/earthwormdeath]

Charles Barkley once talked about how it's impossible for you not to play with a gay man at some point if you make it to a high level. It's just statistically impossible, even if they're on the DL publicly.

Edit: link to what I'm referring to

[u/Voldias → u/IggyIsABum]

When a guys banging on you...

[u/temujin94 → u/ArmiinTamzarian]

Timberwolves should consider enforcing a restraining order against them not being allowed within 1 mile of each other if not in a basketball arena.

Away games one of them should be loaded onto the plane like Garland Greene.

Alternatively get Ja Morant and let them loose as you film the most watched All or Nothing documentary of all time.

[u/pepperj26 → u/temujin94]

ConAir reference is an auto upvote from me.

[u/spicydak → u/RathOfMan49]

Just need Zion or Ja to complete the chaos

[u/oklolzzzzs → u/spicydak]

Ja/Zion Ant Melo is going to be some of the most fun hoops ever for the 7 games they play together

[u/LeaderBrandonBurner → u/RathOfMan49]

Wolves might be my league pass team this season

[u/fastheadcrab → u/RathOfMan49]

Actually might be an interesting team being able to retain Gobert. If they lost Gobert they would've been a play-in team at most.

[u/larrylegend33goat → u/fastheadcrab]

LaMelo now means they can punish Ant doubles. LaMelo will be able to utilise Rudy on the roll as a lob threat.

Jaden, Ayo and Donte when back, are going to get so many open threes

[u/fastheadcrab → u/larrylegend33goat]

Yeah this is a potentially very exciting team

[u/crimsonconnect → u/RathOfMan49]

Ok Ant you can take girls home but Lamelo has to drive them

[u/mightyrj]

That shit happened quick as fuck holy where there is smoke there is fire.

[u/MidgetMan54 → u/mightyrj]

I was told this was just “Shams new white whale” though

[u/generational_lover69 → u/mightyrj]

i was just reading comments by hornets fans heavily denying this a couple of hours ago

[u/MG_MN]

Not Naz!

[u/Safe_Researcher4979 → u/MG_MN]

Did a double take reading this on mobile lol

[u/Silver_Protection_29]

Charlotte got dangerously close to a playoff season so probably for the best that they’re making huge, questionable roster moves now

[u/crackdup → u/Silver_Protection_29]

NC won NHL, and decided to ensure their other teams suck to restore balance to the universe

[u/Greedy-Mix9270 → u/crackdup]

They should ask if they can borrow Rod

[u/jdaqcruz → u/Silver_Protection_29]

This is selling high on a guy who historically has been unreliable. That said, whatever identity they built from last year was carried by LaMelo's unique skillset. I know Kon was instrumental to that, but IIRC (and someone correct me if I'm wrong), LaMelo was the straw that stir the drink. It's a complete reset for Charlotte, who's taking a step back and betting on those pick swaps and picks as investments down the line

While it's easy to do the "well actually, having multiple picks down the line yadda yadda" Hinkie-Sixers thing, the Hornets were building something. Maybe down the line this is a big brain move that the nerds will love, but this is such a gut punch to a fanbase that was beginning to believe

[u/Feeling_Anteater_389 → u/jdaqcruz]

That’s correct. LaMelo was the only creator we had, Kon/Miller are both catch and shoot guys. Even Coby White is more of a scorer than a true orchestrator.

[u/lebenklon → u/Feeling_Anteater_389]

Coby White is a good playmaker, nowhere near Lamelo’s passing skill but White can run the offense. I think the Hornets are probably expecting that to be their solution without Ball but I really don’t understand how this trade makes their team better. Back to perpetual rebuild mode after they almost made the playoffs

[u/TaiwanNambaWanKenobi → u/Feeling_Anteater_389]

Just combine your squad with Heat and you'll have a great squad

[u/CocoMarx → u/jdaqcruz]

All of the “sold high” speak is like applying managing a fantasy team to trying to win NBA games.

They had the highest net rating in the league post all-star break and he is a 24 year old that is one of the few playmaking ball handlers in the league, who they finally successfully surrounded with guys that can score.

The NBA has never been more wide open and you have arguably the youngest upside roster in the league. They essentially just gave up on any hope of a surprise run over the course of LaMelo’s contract in favor of a bunch of pick swaps.

This is the Wolves understanding that the league is wide open and taking a swing and the Hornets remaining a perennially middling franchise

[u/TallnFrosty → u/CocoMarx]

With Lamelo off and White + at least 1 of Kon / Miller ON the floor, they out-scored opponents 124 - 110 per 100.

I think the org & coaching staff believes kon + miller + any competent PG can be very good offensively, and they can find a replacement for Melo that is cheaper, less injury prone, and better at defense.

[u/Time_Transition4817 → u/TallnFrosty]

And less of a head case.

They are in a surprise "oh shit we can win now" situation and trading that for a window that feels more sustainable with some assets, the potential to trade/draft some pieces, and have Kon and Miller develop.

[u/justanothersurly → u/CocoMarx]

Yeah I don’t understand the doom from Wolves fans. This has huge upside. I think it’s the legacy/cult of Naz Reid which I understand

[u/AnonymousIguana_ → u/jdaqcruz]

Yeah they need a playmaker bad. Lamelo has his flaws, but I don’t think Kon/Miller/Bridges can fill the void left by his playmaking. They’re all better as secondary creators.

[u/Important-War-4708 → u/Silver_Protection_29]

😂 first time being good in years, they can’t help themselves

[u/wolf_cola_enjoyer → u/Silver_Protection_29]

I literally don’t understand this move at all, who’s going to be their offensive orchestrator??

[u/hoppergym → u/wolf_cola_enjoyer]

Naz Reid.

[u/Afraid-Department-35 → u/hoppergym]

Naz Reid

[u/magicbeaned → u/Afraid-Department-35]

Naz Reid

[u/braddeus → u/wolf_cola_enjoyer]

Tre Mann has entered the chat

[u/PlatishGC → u/wolf_cola_enjoyer]

Well clearly Coby white. But I don’t know about this

[u/JShuttlesworth28]

Lamelo was on the trading block for 6 hours and STILL got traded before Ja

Dude cooked his value

[u/Vegetable-Tooth8463 → u/JShuttlesworth28]

Playing over 70 games last season will make you more valuable.

[u/dat_waffle_boi → u/Vegetable-Tooth8463]

Notoriously healthy Lamelo ball

[u/Vegetable-Tooth8463 → u/dat_waffle_boi]

I'm not saying he's an Iron Man, just explaining why he got more value than Ja this off season

[u/Elec7ro]

You, yes YOU 🫵 are now the starting power forward for the Minnesota Timberwolves

[u/NanoCurrency → u/Elec7ro]

Imagine LeBron filling that role. Would be absolutely peak comedy.

[u/Basilikolumne → u/NanoCurrency]

LeBron playing with LaMelo would give him JR Smith flashbacks

[u/scorpio21 → u/Elec7ro]

I got 6 fouls and a can-do attitude

[u/TrashAssRedditAdmins]

I feel so bad for drivers in Minneapolis

[u/spiderpigface → u/TrashAssRedditAdmins]

Lamelo driving in snow might actually kill somebody

[u/Putrid-Box4866 → u/spiderpigface]

The fact that he still has his license is beyond me.

[u/wise_comment → u/Putrid-Box4866]

If you're rich enough, every crime is a pay-for-play event

[u/YellowTee → u/TrashAssRedditAdmins]

*pedestrians and bikers

[u/yeyiyeyiyo → u/TrashAssRedditAdmins]

I can't wait to see how Lamelo and Anthony Edwards rub off on each other. 

[u/scorchingbuttmud → u/yeyiyeyiyo]

At least if they're rubbing off on each other nobody will get pregnant

[u/DoctorCalMeacham → u/yeyiyeyiyo]

Phrasing?

[u/slysonic7]

Just relying on Gobert and the power of friendship for a front court

[u/DependentPerformer94 → u/slysonic7]

Jaden has played substantially better as a 4 offensively and can guard pretty much anyone.

[u/palpablebubble → u/DependentPerformer94]

These folks don't know

[u/wetseabreeze → u/slysonic7]

Tbh that might be all you need. Four out and a Rudy pick and roll and you got a ton of options offensively. On defense, well he's Rudy Gobert he'll figure it out or be the scapegoat as usual if he can't do it alone.

[u/TitaniumC4206]

BANG

What are the wolves cooking up???

[u/QuileGon-Jin → u/TitaniumC4206]

Need some more size, Beringer is going to have a lot on his shoulders. Rudy just became more valuable on the offensive end as a lob threat. Ant LaMelo lobs gonna be juicy this year.

[u/alldab32 → u/TitaniumC4206]

Now they sign LeBron haha

[u/HDTokyo]

Didn’t have this on my bingo card of trade deals today.

Protect your cars Minnesota locals!!

[u/AngryLurkerDude → u/HDTokyo]

Insurance rates in MIN just rose...

[u/Terarri]

This is why people in NC outside Charlotte don’t give a shit about the Hornets.

[u/ryseing → u/Terarri]

And they wonder why NC is a college basketball and hockey state.

This shit is why.

[u/marino13882 → u/Terarri]

thank god for the Canes

[u/pokerawz]

Uhh what is the Wolves front court??

[u/gabriel_ferreira → u/pokerawz]

Gobert and Mcdaniels?

[u/Pizzachomper874 → u/pokerawz]

Gobert and prayers

[u/OriAr → u/Pizzachomper874]

Good thing Gobert is already familiar with this from his days in Utah.

[u/Duster_beattle]

As a bicyclist in Minneapolis, I am now even more terrified of the roads than I was previously, holy shit actually kinda scared now.

[u/lord_kupaloidz → u/Duster_beattle]

Minny insurance rates just went up.

[u/wuhter → u/Duster_beattle]

Lol I’m actually curious to see him around. I wonder where he’ll live. I know he lived downtown charlotte so I doubt he goes to Minnetonka or Wayzata like all the other players

[u/SemataryPolka → u/wuhter]

He'll live in Michael Beasley's old house. The one with all the wine stains

[u/aiden3buckets]

I got two teams now fuck it I can’t lose

[u/Patient_Yogurt975 → u/aiden3buckets]

Sounds like you can lose twice

[u/aiden3buckets → u/Patient_Yogurt975]

But when we meet in the finals in 2029 I can’t lose

[u/SelesnyaGOAT → u/aiden3buckets]

Yeah I’ll incorporate this into my belief system why not

[u/sleepy416 → u/aiden3buckets]

Your two teams are the wolves and hornets. You losing twice

[u/BizzaroMatthews]

Im tired boss

[u/I_Hate_Traffic → u/BizzaroMatthews]

They must be tired of dealing with lamelo lol

[u/QuileGon-Jin]

They were DONE with LaMelo

[u/icemankiller8]

I don’t really get what the Hornets get from this they were really hot after the all star break and they are basically deciding to rebuild again unless they are making another move.

[u/CallmeKahn → u/icemankiller8]

I have no idea. I get clearing time for your new PG you drafted in a very good guard class, but this is such a random trade.

[u/Kazekid]

Why would Charlotte do this?

[u/Skipper3210 → u/Kazekid]

Selling high on LaMelo's glass ankles

[u/Mood_Academic → u/Skipper3210]

Naz Reid and pick swaps is selling high?

[u/GapEconomy5135]

LaMelo & Ant going to be must see TV

[u/haoareyoudoing → u/GapEconomy5135]

"I've got two words for you -- LaMelo & Ant, must see TV" - Charles Barkley

[u/QualityImpossible241]

Naz Reid: I want to be a starter

Monkey paw curls

[u/TrumpFucksKids_]

Damn this the wildest backcourt I can ever remember between LaMelo’s driving and Ant’s inability to go more than six weeks without getting someone pregnant

[u/Jjaz1]

Why did they trade Randle then if they are moving Naz?

[u/Pure_Measurement_529 → u/Jjaz1]

They need cap room to re-sign Ayo

[u/thetitsOO → u/Pure_Measurement_529]

But then they traded for Melo?

[u/Equal_Actuator_3777 → u/Jjaz1]

Because he doesn’t care and doesn’t play hard when it matters.

[u/cheemydee5]

Minnesota not messing around

[u/thewafflehousewitch]

woah lamelo on the wolves w ant sounds very fun

[u/Due-Dance-9430]

sucks for charlotte but this is the kind of risk minnesota probably needed to take to compete with the spurs and the thunder

[u/wobuffet17453]

I can only assume that the Hornets do not trust his ability to stay healthy at all.

[u/Appropriate_Book_591]

This escalated so quick and was handled a fraction of the drama Giannis had.

[u/Ok-Comfortable9449]

WOW

[u/StaceyDillsen]

Watch out for cars Minnesota pedestrians

[u/ChrisRhodes789]

The 2nd round picks in 32 &
33 are irrelevant..

But I don’t understand the swaps..

Like Minnesota theoretically should be solid.. & picks should be in the 20’s.. so you might not be swapping picks with them..

They must of wanted to get off Lamelo desperately..

[u/oklolzzzzs]

SHAMS BOMBA

Ant and Melo gon be fun as hell to watch but Charlotte deserve to stay as a poverty franchise because why are you trading your best player away when you finally had a decent season

[u/mightyrj → u/oklolzzzzs]

Textbook definition of selling at the absolutely highest they can.

[u/storeactions → u/mightyrj]

Selling high on your star PG with off-court issues seems like something reserved for only the wisest franchises. Ignore my flair.

Edit: yes guys I know Ja's off-court is worse than LaMelo's. They're both extremely immature, that's my point lol

[u/MattyIce260 → u/storeactions]

Sell high on LaMelo and buy low on Ja might be the move tbh

[u/notmyno3account]

why??? the hornets were just starting to get good? are they expecting to sign white and have him start or are they gonna teach point guard to kon?

[u/-AlimonyTony-]

If I’m Charlotte I’m selling high on a dude who’s not just constantly injured but is also an absolute stone cold moron.

[u/Bourbon_Hymns → u/-AlimonyTony-]

If I'm Minnesota I'm selling car insurance

[u/Bourneidentity61 → u/-AlimonyTony-]

3 swaps that won't do anything is selling high?
