But why does Silver allow this shit. If I was the commissioner I'd tell these fucking nerds to stay off twitter, quit breaking the picks and trades before we announce it. It's so goddamn annoying with these guys.
- The media pays the NBA, not the other way around
- Silver would have no control over other non-NBA affiliated parties (e.g. other journalists, player’s agents, random people who know people) and what they tweet or say in their free time
- If Silver tried to strong arm anyone at one of the major networks paying the NBA, they would point out that one of the people in the other categories is going to get the scoop anyway, accomplishing nothing and theoretically costing them money
They’ve tried in the past to have agreements not to do this. They all fell through. ESPN also pays Woj an enormous amount of money, and they are going to get their moneys worth by putting him on air.
We traded a top 10 pick for two first rounders in 6 and 7 years? I know this was a weak draft but damn.
RemindMe! 7 years when the 2031 first rounder inevitably becomes the first pick in that draft lol
The value in this is tied to Wemby's prime. In 2030 he's going to be 26 - if the Spurs don't have the right pieces around him, they can flip the picks for a distressed star/other pieces and retool. Nice future-facing move to get your guy in Castle and then keep your future options open.
We have rubio and pekovic back then so i have a soft spot for that roster. Isnt that the year love also had that longest double double stretch as well. Feels like it was just recently
hey guys peter griffin here to explain the comment. Schafer89 is wondering what the timberwolves have given up to make the acquisition. furthermore, they expressed disdain for the social media culture of rushing to be the first to post news rather then waiting and posting the full details.
whack i wanted to see him and wemby
edit also so lame how now they talk about him and the spurs on tv now but the pick is already traded lmao, wrong hat and all whats the point of the hat
Exactly, but it's still kinda sad considering this kid wanted to play for the Spurs it seemed like. But yeah 160lbs sopping wet ain't gonna be able to defend any one of the explosive guards in our conference.
Yes not a RD fan but feel bad for the guy who said he wanted to be a Spur and play with Wemby. He should feel good about going to a contender right away though.
This was absolutely worth it for the wolves. Rob is a legit scorer & a great dude to have with Ant but it’s just confusing for the Spurs because he’s a player they could have used right away
But think about it. The spurs can then flip the 2030 pick for two more picks in 2036 and the 2031 pick for two picks in 2037. Repeat that a few more times and in 2097 they could have 44 first round picks. Crazy.
This move make no sense for me.
You have time to developp player now, you don't have to win, it's stil an 8th choice with interesting people still at 1 and 3 where you desperately neeed somebody.
If you want to wait there's Topic, you can even play to go lottery again next year with him with an humungous upside of him becoming a huge starter for a team who wants to win. Dillingham is good with shoot and playmaking if you want to win a bit more now. Cody Williams is here if you want a forward perfect for Wemby with a good defense and a good shoot, while having a potential ceiling with the right guidance.
You had choice to do great things, and you trade it for an hypothetic 2031 first which you won't care since you'll be in the golden years of Wemby and a single swap 2030.
I love Castle because i truly think he can developp offensively but dear god i hope you don't expect him to be your PG, because i have the same amount of belief in the result than when they tried that with Sochan.
I always thought it was weird so the trade immediately made more sense. I can't see the Spurs wanting to put a likely defensive turnstile in with Wemby. They had just taken Castle, which I wouldn't have done but it showed that they want to stack their team with guys who can defend, not cancel out the Wemby advantage in the paint with weak perimeter defence.
For who?!?!
Welcome to the Shams/Woj special. Tweeting to be first rather than giving people any further info
Modern media in a nutshell
I have no idea why people like these media whores.
You’re paid for engagement. That’s the job.
That’s exactly what I said to my Singaporean wife.

2031 unprotected and 2030 swap
2031 isn't a real year.
the future is coming old man
Great move by twolves to get someone who can take some of the load off conley
2031 unprotected FRP and a protected 2030 pick swap
We traded a top 10 pick for two first rounders in 6 and 7 years? I know this was a weak draft but damn. RemindMe! 7 years when the 2031 first rounder inevitably becomes the first pick in that draft lol
What do you think the chances are the Spurs still own this pick by the time of the 2031 draft?
Less than 10%
Haha, jokes on you its top 1 protected! Not even kidding
The value in this is tied to Wemby's prime. In 2030 he's going to be 26 - if the Spurs don't have the right pieces around him, they can flip the picks for a distressed star/other pieces and retool. Nice future-facing move to get your guy in Castle and then keep your future options open.
Ant Edwards
[удалено]
Don’t worry we threw in a few fiesta tickets
Then it's an underpay.
Spurs should throw in Vassell to make it fair
I would literally cut my arm off
Chill it came with Zach Collins too

Can someone fucking let us know 😭

Mike Conley’s replacement wow. Wish I had their front office
Nutty seeing this written about the Wolves but it's actually true lol
We made it
Tim Connelly builds contenders
I miss him already 😢
This is the same GM that built the Denver Nuggets
Then turned around and built the team to beat the Denver Nuggets
He had the blue prints to the death star
This comment is insane. Imagine telling a Wolves fan this in 2011
something something sp00ky
Imagine telling a Wolves fan this literally 1 year ago
We had injuries
We have rubio and pekovic back then so i have a soft spot for that roster. Isnt that the year love also had that longest double double stretch as well. Feels like it was just recently
Same
Same
It’s still weird to read this sentence being said about the Timberwolves I’ve watched since ‘03……. Still feels like a parallel universe sometimes lol
Don’t we all
Some fans want their front office to do anything more than their front office do good things.
LMAO airfryer scorer is a crazy description for a player
!RemindMe 3 years
What are the Wolves sending back?

Huh?
hey guys peter griffin here to explain the comment. Schafer89 is wondering what the timberwolves have given up to make the acquisition. furthermore, they expressed disdain for the social media culture of rushing to be the first to post news rather then waiting and posting the full details.
>FOR WHAT? FUCK THIS “CRUMB AT A TIME” “IM FIRST” SHIT!
Lost my glasses. Why use that small font?
They are saying the reporters just wanna be first and release the first “crumb” of news they hear before knowing the full details.
How?????
Two picks in the 2030s is how 😂😂😂
Random 12yo you are a Spur
I am excited to add King Bacot to our roster!
Bronny Jr Jr
That pick will be traded 7 times before 2031
The Rizzler from Boom Meter Technical College
Isn’t one of those just a swap, though?
Yes. With top 1 protection lol
Rob needs to take notes
Fr I need Carter
Lol nah
THE NUMBERS MASON
WHAT DO THEY MEAN??!
Commentators like "This is exactly where Rob wanted to go" 2 minutes later:
Honestly both are awesome spots for lottery picks to go. The spurs you play with wemby and the wolves you play with ant and get to win now
So we basically drafted Mike Conley‘s replacement for the Wolves.
whack i wanted to see him and wemby edit also so lame how now they talk about him and the spurs on tv now but the pick is already traded lmao, wrong hat and all whats the point of the hat
That happens all the time
Same, I was really hoping the Spurs would select him, shame he got flipped immediately.
He didn't seem like a Pop type player.
Exactly, but it's still kinda sad considering this kid wanted to play for the Spurs it seemed like. But yeah 160lbs sopping wet ain't gonna be able to defend any one of the explosive guards in our conference.
Yes not a RD fan but feel bad for the guy who said he wanted to be a Spur and play with Wemby. He should feel good about going to a contender right away though.
Nah this crazy lol. Dillingham on that team is cold
It’s not that bad if you layer right. The summers are great
I disagree sir, I think it’s hot.
SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER WHO THE FUCK IS BEING TRADED FOR THE 8TH PICK
2031 FRP unprotected and a 2030 pick swap
2030 pick swap is top 1 protected
thank goodness
What the fuck????
For what?
A baby in 2031
Please not Naz Reid
What assets does Minnesota even have?
Prince’s albums
Lake Minnetonka, Mall of America, Wabasha street caves, Museum of Quackery. I’m just spit balling here.
Wabasha Street Caves is a wild pull but you aren't wrong.
I don’t think the museum of quackery exists anymore but I’m hoping I can pull the wool over his eyes.
If nothing else just mention Lift Bridge Brewing.
The Science Museum purchased (inherited?) the museum of quackery and has a lot of it on display. If you need to collect Orgone energy or something.
Canterbury Park
Do they still have poker games there? I used to drive down from the metro for poker games and wiener dog races quite often like 13 years ago.
I haven’t been there for awhile myself but as far as I know yes.

for what
2031 1sr pick and 2030 swap
Isn't spurs package more valuable than what minny sent them? Why did they accept so little in return
We offered a 31 1st and the spurs thought they were getting 31 firsts
Wait…we aren’t???
Spurs legend Rob Dillingham
Either this is Mike Conley or a good haul for the spurs
Could be a good haul but we’ll have to wait some years to find out! Unless they trade it for someone here soon
This was absolutely worth it for the wolves. Rob is a legit scorer & a great dude to have with Ant but it’s just confusing for the Spurs because he’s a player they could have used right away
But think about it. The spurs can then flip the 2030 pick for two more picks in 2036 and the 2031 pick for two picks in 2037. Repeat that a few more times and in 2097 they could have 44 first round picks. Crazy.
A-Rod for Rob-D
Dilly is a fantastic fit in Minny. Sheesh.
Understandable, other than Ant no one on the wolves could iso score against the Mavericks. Will be a good bench edition.
I like Dillingham. When he’s on his game is effortless as shit. I think Minnesota is the perfect squad for him.
This move make no sense for me. You have time to developp player now, you don't have to win, it's stil an 8th choice with interesting people still at 1 and 3 where you desperately neeed somebody.

Dillingham was literally perfect for SA.

They had just taken Castle, which I wouldn't have done but it showed that they want to stack their team with guys who can defend, not cancel out the Wemby advantage in the paint with weak perimeter defence.
ANTHONY EDWARDS YOU 🫵 ARE A SPUR
is this for free
FOR WHATTTT
what the hell did they give up?
WHY???
KAT?
Edwards
both
damn
Woahahhahah
Damn he looks so happy too
HUGE W BY THE WOLVES
Wow interesting first trade of the night!
The Spurs sold
damn must be banking hard on the t-wolves sucking in 2030, or just do not like this draft at all lol
I hated this pick for the Spurs, wonder what this is all about
How the fuck?
Dillingham for Ant?!
Woj late as fuck
Woj and Shams are cock blocking us
For whooooo woj
Wtf?
What holy what
OH SHIT
FOR WHOMST
WHAT?????? FOR WHAT?????
That was quick
FOR WHO
HOLY SHIIIIT
WE NEED THE FULL BOMB WOJ
Boooooo Spurs why
Ant and Rob are going to be a interesting fit
Holy fuck. Solid fit
HUHHHH
Commish gotta announce these trades like the NFL
Woah what!
HUH
Making a big trade after that season is kinda surprising. Why not run it back?
They do not have a PG behind Conley next season. They also need to find Conley’s replacement. This is about now and the future.
Can’t just say this with no details
They have no picks lol and no tradeable young players. Good job FO 👍
Wtffff
Manifesting Antman
Oh wow
Is dilly dilly back on the menu?
What are we getting?????
ANT and WEMBY😩
Oh my god yes. Love this
WHAT DID WE GET WOJ
LMAO
Better not be NAZ

For what though
Get him out that hat!!!
New flair
