Iggy finally has been traded from Memphis to the Heat. I like what he brings even in his older age for the Heat especially towards Playoff time.

MINNESOTA GOT D'ANGELO RUSSELL!!! I REPEAT, MINNESOTA GOT D'ANGELO RUSSELL!!!

Can't wait to see how this works out.

Timberwolves now have the top 2 picks of the 2015 Draft. Don’t think it’ll help them but they’ll be fun to watch.

Golden State is smart; this year is a lost cause. Compile picks and come back next year at full strength

 

[Cwalker]

Also in a salary cap dump, Andre Drummond has been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers

Russell to the Timberwolves huge get, just hope it works out for them and they keep their egos in check. Butler and Towns butted heads during their time together and wanted out and that lead him to Phila. Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III I haven't seen any of their work like that this Season hopefully those guys bring something to the table that could help my Sixers.

Let's make another deal: Timberwolves trade Gorgui Dieng, too

The center, previously the longest-tenured Wolves player, was dealt to Memphis for James Johnson

The trade deals keep coming:

Minnesota trades Gorgui Dieng to Miami for James Johnson.

Minnesota keeps Okogie and their 2 2020 1st Round Draft Picks.

Timberwolves may be tanking this year, but they're primed for a big future.

The Minnesota Timberwolves threw a new franchise record 25 three-point throws on way to absolutely devastating the LA Clippers with their new team. D'Lo wasn't even playing.

Malik Beasley hit 7 of those three-pointers, a career high.

Man, what good a set of fresh faces can do for a team.

Did anyone see The NBA Rising Stars last night? Trae and Luka put on a Show, didn't agree at all with Bridges winning the MVP and lol at Zion choking like a few others to make some Dunks late.

Sunday night's game is officially NBA All-Star weekend's main event, but Saturday is where the magic happens. In Chicago, Aaron Gordon headlines the field of dunk contest participants; four years after his unforgettable showdown with Zach LaVine, he will dunk against Derrick Jones Jr., Pat Connaughton and the 34-year-old Dwight Howard, who won the contest 12 years ago.

In the 3-point shootout, Joe Harris will defend his title against Trae Young, Devin Booker Duncan Robinson, Buddy Hield, Devonte' Graham, Davis Bertans and LaVine. This will follow the star-studded skills challenge, which features 2019 winner Jayson Tatum, 2018 winner Spencer Dinwiddie, 2015 winner Patrick Beverley, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Bam Adebayo, Khris Middleton, Domantas Sabonis and Pascal Siakam.

Ben Simmons and Matisse Thybulle I wished were apart of the Dunk Contest especially Ben dude brings it down hard with his Dunks. Howard might open some eyes to past Dunk participants coming back in the future especially if he does well. If Howard can do it, why can't someone else from the past come back. Three former Champions of the Skill Challenge can't wait to see that it should be Tatum's to lose as he's been heating it up lately for Boston.

I want Ben Simmons in the 3 point contest

Aaron Gordon was robbed I feel of winning Saturday night. He had a Dunk with one Arm that top 10 easily one of the best Dunks of all time. DWade all night judged to help his former teammate Jones especially early when he gave Jones a higher score than a player who made it with his first Dunk attempt, but Jones took another shot and that other player had presentation too. Still one hell of a night to watch and one of the best showings in quite some time.

 

[Chris]

Judging was bullshit like usual, Gordon got robbed like usual. But man...dude got all 50s besides his last dunk and lost bc they got such a dumbass system

I mean but to be fair, it's not like the dunk contest means anything so I do feel like it's not worth getting too upset over. Still wish they'd make changes though.
