What a disastrous trade for Minnesota. Ant will be requesting a trade on June 14th, 2028. Good work by Charlotte here

So only Naz and a 1st. Not bad. They could flip lamelo for more in the future.

I’m surprised Minny had any picks or swaps to trade considering everything they blew on Gobert and Rob Dillingham.

Holy overpay Batman.

Denver just watched the one team they couldn't beat destroy themselves.

Yeah this isn’t a good fit at all. Reid is also a super valuable role piece for Minny. I don’t get this move at all.

No way Ant and Melo mesh. There’s only one ball.

I dunno if it'll work out, but I do know they'll be fun to watch. Definitely a league pass team

Don’t know how I feel about giving up 4 first rounders and Naz for Lamelo, but it’ll be a fun boom or bust backcourt

Did Minnesota take into account his driving and icy roads?

Charlotte seling high on Lamelo, a injury prone player with a lackluster playoff history

New Orleans shouldve done the same with Zion in 2023

It’s not 4 first rounders it’s 1. Those pick swaps are useless with ball and Edwards on the wolves, they aren’t going to be in the lottery

There’s 3 balls. 4 if you count their dad.

All depends on how long they are actually on the Wolves

So that’s what the Julius Randle trade was for. I swear every year Minny throws something at the wall in hopes of getting over the hump. Gotta give credit to their efforts even though they make no sense

Ja Morant could have been a bargain for Minny.

Sure, but they’re both already signed through 2 of those seasons and so is mcdaniels. Seems pretty doubtful that they’d just sell the farm after that but I guess maybe you end up with 1 pick swap actually coming to fruition
