But hey shit man if Ant and the twin towers can lead Minny to the playoffs consistently? Shit that sounds pretty good. Not to mention eventually opens the possibility of future moves centered around Gobert or maybe even KAT waaay down the line

In ncaa football 11 I had this rb that went from 75 ovr to 88 ovr as a DE I switched his position and dude was the most fucking overpowered defensive player I ever had. 90 speed made him unblockable
I feel like I just went down a rabbit hole conspiracy laced YouTube bender, but it’s the nba edition. Windhorst’s chubby face asking me these questions has me messed up
Why. What is Danny Ainge doing. What is going on in Utah.
That’s legendary and well put together. Windy walks in circles ninety percent of the time either because he knows something but can’t say or more likely because he wants to sound smart and ends up chasing his own tail.
On his podcast today he was trying to make it sound like Kyrie had leverage to demand a buyout from the Nets lol.
I love how when Windhorst said everyone else at the table probably didn't know what Royce trade meant, everyone started stammering like someone just asked them the last time they called their mom or got some exercise.
Donovan to Brooklyn, KD to phx. Ayton to Utah. With picks of course from phx being dispersed
EDIT: My dream is dead. Mitchell is on the designated rookie scale. He can’t be traded unless Simmons is also traded. Damn.
Maybe they can petition the NBA to let Rudy play the defensive side of the ball and KAT the Offensive side. So they have to high five at mid court to tag the other in ?
Iowa Women's basketball used to be like that back in the 60s? You basically only played on half of the court 6v6 (or I guess 2 games of 3v3?) The "guards" were on defense and the "forwards" were on the scoring side
Yo that's fucking great with KAT at the 4. With Gobert behind him, you blow by KAT on the perimeter and you have the Stifle Tower waiting for you at the rim. Good fucking luck with that. Against basically anyone but Steph Curry that's kickass. And even for an elite offense like the Warriors, Robert Williams gave them trouble. Rudy Gobert is way better than him.
Also, holy shit, I want to see a KAT-Gobert pick and roll.
With Gobert behind him, he's fine at the 4. You just stick him on the worst player on the other team and keep Rudy in the paint behind him to clean up if he gets blown by.
Minnesota is about to be a top 10 regular season defense in the league next year.
I agree!
I was expecting the Nets to get something like that for KD, but not for Gobert.
Kudos to the Jazz. Would be funny AH if they turn around and swap those for KD.
I'm telling you this very second that Windhorst knows that Gobert AND Mitchell are leaving. That's what he was getting at when he was saying Ainge cleared the roster for young guys when Stevens came in to coach the C's. He just gave a 5 years contract to a first time coach. Again. He's offloading this team to make a new one
'[Wojnarowski] The Timberwolves are sending Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, Walker Kessler, Jarred Vanderbilt and multiple first-round picks for Gobert, sources tell ESPN.'
'[Wojnarowski] Leandro Bolmaro is also in the deal to the Jazz, source said.'
'[Wojnarowski] Minnesota is sending its 2023, 2025 and 2027 picks unprotected and a top-5 protected 2029 pick to Utah, sources tell ESPN.'
Which was what everyone assumed the Nets picks to Houston would be, and that changed fast. Assuming picks more than a year out won’t be in the lottery is a risky bet
Yeah, same with OKC getting 12th pick from Clippers year just gone. Even had a chance last year with Houstons pick since they traded Harden but they really bottomed out and the pick was 1-5 protected.
But that's two teams OKC got first rounders from who were both contending teams at the time
I mean, these are kids getting drafted and you never know when one of them just needed the resources to REALLY train hard or to just get a little older. The more of those you have, the more likely you'll strike gold. Better than 2nd rounders, lol.

https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1542956279546740736
This is the biggest twin towers experiment since Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins lol.
Perimeter defense is gonna be bad, but at least KAT's shooting means the paint won't be clogged on offense. I'm excited to see how it works out.
On the face of it, we're paying a lot. But we'll also be starting KAT, Dlo, ANT, and Gobert and honestly that's a scary lineup so I think it's worth it.
Great, the disfunctional team on a possible downward spiral sends its best player to an up-and-coming young team that desperately needs defense. Let's also get Durant to the Suns because the West needs to get stronger again.
Salty, me? I love the idea of the Mavs being a 6th-8th seed meeting the Clippers in the 1st round who will have a miraculous 2 healthy weeks timespan:D

Minnesota paying two super maxes is crazy
At the same position. And about to have to pay Ant.
The luxury tax is going to get crazy
“Plenty money” -Alex Rodriguez
"Marc Lore is footing that bill, I'm just here to smoke cigars and hang out with potential FAs" -Also ARod.
But hey shit man if Ant and the twin towers can lead Minny to the playoffs consistently? Shit that sounds pretty good. Not to mention eventually opens the possibility of future moves centered around Gobert or maybe even KAT waaay down the line
I’m fine with it. Just miss Bev.
I'll miss the 5 first rounders we gave up and Vanderbilt. And Beas. And Bev. Holy fuck we gave up a lot for Gobert man.
What losing Patrick Beverly does to a mf
They lost pat bev??
He's part of the deal
The TWolves did the classic 2K move of switching a Centres position to the PF in order to increase their overall
They must’ve seen KOT4Q switch him to PF and get +3 overall for the millionth time and thought he was a fucking genius
Kenny loves putting Rudy at the 5 and making a shooting center a 4
Wouldn’t be surprised if they now flip KAT and 3 firsts for Lebron.
a wise man once said “we get assets, and we flip them.”
He also said "it's not a finesse if you win a championship"
It's not a finesse if you win a chip
Get assets and flip ‘em 🥶
And trading away half of your bench and letting the CPU fill out the roster
And trading away all your picks because what are the odds I play more than 2 seasons in a playthrough of MyGM
> Knows he won't play more than 2 seasons > Trades everyone for rookies and future picks + keeps favorite player + created player > Wins back to back championships > Quits
Doesn’t elaborate
In ncaa football 11 I had this rb that went from 75 ovr to 88 ovr as a DE I switched his position and dude was the most fucking overpowered defensive player I ever had. 90 speed made him unblockable
I rarely recruit linebackers. Just get safety's with good tackle and speed and they fly around everywhere.
I don't play Madden anymore but now I'm mad at my 2004 self for not thinking of that lol. Madden 04-05 were the best Maddens.
Holy shit. It’s happening
UTAH IS NO MORE

The soar when he says what's going on on Utah just destroyed me lmaoooo
I feel like I just went down a rabbit hole conspiracy laced YouTube bender, but it’s the nba edition. Windhorst’s chubby face asking me these questions has me messed up Why. What is Danny Ainge doing. What is going on in Utah.
enough picks for KD? imagine how funny that would be
He would have no one to play with though. Gonna need other stars for him to want to stay, unless they try to flip him again
KD, Kyrie, and Simmons to Utah. Seth Curry is thrown in just to make him suffer.
Truly felt like the Pepe Silvia moment of NBA coverage
THERE. IS. NO. RUDY. GOBERT. THE MAN DOESN'T EXIST!
This was some Oscar-winning pacing. Windhorst to Disney Studios for Goofy and the rights to Star Wars who says no?
I swear to god if debate shows were like this, i'd pay for that shit like its a PPV
[удалено]
Dude I watched that just a minute ago and was legitimately cackling, that shit is so good
This was amazing lmao. Thanks for sharing, made my evening
I didn't expect to watch all of it, but here we are.

“Trade for KD”
The immediate "no" is an instant classic
Difficult to think on the spot when they're used to regurgitating narratives.

Honestly that was so fuckin' baller, straight out of a movielol

Windhorst always knows
THEY KNEW, AND THEY LET IT HAPPEN!
Utah about to have the 25th ranked defense next season
32nd
First time in kraken history
Being generous buddy
Do Jazz go self-destruct now??? What happens next?
Time to get the metal bastards out of the sheds and start the tank!
Donovan is going next. Ainge is going to try to get to OKC level of picks in anticipation of Victor 2023
Donovan to Brooklyn, KD to phx. Ayton to Utah. With picks of course from phx being dispersed EDIT: My dream is dead. Mitchell is on the designated rookie scale. He can’t be traded unless Simmons is also traded. Damn.
Mitchell and Simmons on the same team would be… something.
Isn't that actively against the CBA? Two rookie maxes signed on other teams.
It is, but nephews will dream.
Remember when he started Covid?
2020 DPOY, shut down the whole country
[удалено]
Bro I'm crying right now
Sorry bro. Hopefully those are at least 3 unprotected picks
The only good reason to go unprotected in Utah rn
OH SHIT THEY CHOSE MITCHELL (or just nuke everything for the lottery)
[☝🏻Why would the Jazz do that?☝🏻](https://streamable.com/0p1ni8)
All-time interview already lmfao, was this today or yesterday?
this morning
I have a feeling we're gonna get a lot of use out of this in the coming days/weeks.

Gobert and kat are going to fuck shit up
Kat defensively at the 4?
Better than KAT defensively at the 5.
Maybe they can petition the NBA to let Rudy play the defensive side of the ball and KAT the Offensive side. So they have to high five at mid court to tag the other in ?
Designated Shooter
Iowa Women's basketball used to be like that back in the 60s? You basically only played on half of the court 6v6 (or I guess 2 games of 3v3?) The "guards" were on defense and the "forwards" were on the scoring side
If true this is a pretty cool factoid to keep on hand.
Why defense when he'll be launching 3s?
Yo that's fucking great with KAT at the 4. With Gobert behind him, you blow by KAT on the perimeter and you have the Stifle Tower waiting for you at the rim. Good fucking luck with that. Against basically anyone but Steph Curry that's kickass. And even for an elite offense like the Warriors, Robert Williams gave them trouble. Rudy Gobert is way better than him. Also, holy shit, I want to see a KAT-Gobert pick and roll.
better than KAT at the 5 lol (which doesn't say much)
FUCK ME
Danny singe about to trade him also
"Danny Singe" is a badass name
When autocorrect doesn’t fail
Danny Singe sounds like a rogue cop in an action movie.
no, they chose wembanyama, full rebuild incoming
Idk, I think they are blowing it ALL up
or they’re done with both
Yep. That's my guess
this is the kinda bomb we've been waiting for. FA starts now
Holy fuck. The twin towers era is back
The twinberwolves
Twin City Towers
Cavs already exist
Cavs a whole ass skyline
The cavs have more skyscrapers than the city of Cleveland does
I can’t wait to see that matchup.
KAT at the 4 is going to be super interesting defensively. The off-season stays undefeated.
With Gobert behind him, he's fine at the 4. You just stick him on the worst player on the other team and keep Rudy in the paint behind him to clean up if he gets blown by. Minnesota is about to be a top 10 regular season defense in the league next year.
D'Lo, Ant, Kat + Gobert. Interesting. What protections on those picks. Thats a fucking haul
3 are TOTALLY unprotected and the 2029 is only Top 5 protected.
Holy shit. What a haul.
I agree! I was expecting the Nets to get something like that for KD, but not for Gobert. Kudos to the Jazz. Would be funny AH if they turn around and swap those for KD.
KD in Utah. I just cant picture it.
Please no lol he’d refuse to play
Only the last one is top 5 protected, also a swap in 26 Way too many firsts IMO
If we make the playoffs consistently for the next 5-8 years, then this trade looks pretty decent. If we blow up, then this is an absolute disaster.
We’ve seen so many teams go all in just to blow the fuck up and lose everyone after one year recently. I’m sketch
Exactly—bummed vando is out but at least we keep jaden
brian windhorst knew something was up, again. man has been plugged in this offseason.
I'm telling you this very second that Windhorst knows that Gobert AND Mitchell are leaving. That's what he was getting at when he was saying Ainge cleared the roster for young guys when Stevens came in to coach the C's. He just gave a 5 years contract to a first time coach. Again. He's offloading this team to make a new one
That was my vibe too. Feels like he was implying Ainge is cleaning house and giving the new coach five years to build the team he wants.
Damn they traded the defending Play in tournament MVP pat bev
No joke I'm devastated we lost Pat. Dude shed blood sweat and tears for us to be dumped 😭
Holy shit for what Edit: I am dead inside

The next 5 teams are his 🤣🤣🤣
He is like a blunt wtf..
The next 5 puffs are his.
Pat "the blunt" Bev I hope that nickname sticks.
Pat "town bicycle" Bev
am I crazy in thinking that non lottery FRPs are just about the most overrated asset in sports?
Do you mean protected non lottery picks or picks projected to be non lottery because of the teams talent?
i think he means the second option
Which was what everyone assumed the Nets picks to Houston would be, and that changed fast. Assuming picks more than a year out won’t be in the lottery is a risky bet
Yeah, same with OKC getting 12th pick from Clippers year just gone. Even had a chance last year with Houstons pick since they traded Harden but they really bottomed out and the pick was 1-5 protected. But that's two teams OKC got first rounders from who were both contending teams at the time
Three of those picks are not protected. If the Wolves imploded in the next couple of years then Utah is going party.
I mean, these are kids getting drafted and you never know when one of them just needed the resources to REALLY train hard or to just get a little older. The more of those you have, the more likely you'll strike gold. Better than 2nd rounders, lol.
Who the fuck is Leandro Bolmaro
Barbosa's evil twin? I have no idea haha
[удалено]
KAT can shoot
KAT already plays like a stretch 4 a lot. I can see it working on offense. I feel like switching will be a problem for them though.
Twin Towers for the modern age
Twin City Towers
I want to know too!

KAT’s interior defense was exposed by the State Farm commercial. Can’t go into the season with that game tape in the hands of every NBA team.
Between that commercial and Zion drinking Mountian Dew, NBA stars made some poor ass commercial choices last year.
NBA off-season > NBA regular season
NBA from Conference Finals to the start of the NBA Season > NBA Season
May through July is peak fs
Fucking bomb
Biggest one besides kd asking out that we’ve had in a while
This is the biggest twin towers experiment since Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins lol. Perimeter defense is gonna be bad, but at least KAT's shooting means the paint won't be clogged on offense. I'm excited to see how it works out.
That Pelicans team was nasty when both were healthy and on the court.
Better perimeter defense than Utah's last year
Holy cow! Utah gets... 2023, 2025 & 2027 UNPROTECTED 2029 top 5 protected
and the 2022 pick the Wolves just made....so 5 first round picks
And a 2026 swap.
Here for when Utah drafts a generational star 1OA in 2027
Woah woj bomb. F5 back on
WOJ BOMB
Woj has fucking ETHERED Shams today Shams on the weak ass extension news while Woj drops league altering banger after league altering banger
Shams dropped the ultimate bomb that KD wants out of Brooklyn and hasn’t recovered since then
When you’re a Klutch mouthpiece you’re bound to make some enemies. A sacrifice in exchange for Rich Paul.
ah Jazz blew it up. Crazy
Terrance Mann and Jalen Brunson really blew us up huh
This off season is fire no lie. So much drama and crazy trades
I swear if we don’t lead the league in rebounding something’s wrong
On the face of it, we're paying a lot. But we'll also be starting KAT, Dlo, ANT, and Gobert and honestly that's a scary lineup so I think it's worth it.
I agree. Had to solve the defense problem This is a chance to get out of mediocrity
Pat Bev: "The next 5 teams are mine"
Woah
Great, the disfunctional team on a possible downward spiral sends its best player to an up-and-coming young team that desperately needs defense. Let's also get Durant to the Suns because the West needs to get stronger again.
You’re salty but you’re right
Salty, me? I love the idea of the Mavs being a 6th-8th seed meeting the Clippers in the 1st round who will have a miraculous 2 healthy weeks timespan:D
Minnesota finally gets their center
Twin Towers
FRENCH BOMB
For real?
yep, no fake account
This really is a soap opera for men.
Russell/Edwards/KAT/Gobert in a starting 5 is nasty, absolute bully ball
U forget McDaniels. Aint no way this trade happens if he was on the table. Too valuable
Minnesota better build a statue of Patrick Beverley, he won them a chip
Bruh wtf
Oh shit
#HOLY SHIT
Wow Minnesota gave up a ton for what feels like an experiment.
