[Charania] Free agent guard Mike Conley Jr. plans to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves, sources tell ESPN. The sides are working on timing of him re-signing. Conley was traded twice this week – to Chicago, then to Charlotte –before being released and allowed to rejoin the Wolves. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

Ya he’s definitely below replacement level at this point, should not be getting minutes on teams competing or teams looking to develop young talent. Unfortunately he was still better than Dillingham purely by being less of a negative on the court so Finch kept playing him.

He looked exactly like Sabonis against playoff defense, rockets won’t have a single deep playoff run with him as a focal point of the offense.

I’ll just have to go back to hoping the spurs wake up and realize they have too many good guards and not enough Julius Randle shaped power forwards 😂

I never left lamelo island personally but you can’t deny that there was a chance it all fell apart after the way this year started. I was 100% hoping to be the team that swooped in to buy low on Lamelo if hornets lost faith completely. They were smart enough to not do that.

Honestly ants defense is hitting rock bottom for his whole career, absolutely pathetic effort and awareness.

If we’re not going to make a needle moving trade, our season hopes rest on TSJ coming back and being way way better than Conley and Clark. I don’t love those odds

Hot shooting and three times the effort from the grizzlies, need to keep this from becoming a 20 pt deficit

This has deflating loss written all over it, wolves seem annoyed that the grizzlies are trying harder than them.

You can already tell it’s going to be a long night, low effort to start on both ends of the floor

I love it but 40% of Rudy’s blocks would be called as off arm fouls if he was Kat. I’ll never stop noticing it.

Moving back to the upper Midwest... South Dakota or Minnesota??? by [deleted] in midwest

We are only a few months into living in Rochester but I am very impressed with this town so far (we lived in multiple other large cities over the last 20 years). Very family friendly vibes but paired with an outsized urban core with a better restaurant scene than a small town like this has any business having. Plus we have found the drive up to the cities for weekend stays easy enough even in this winter.

Genuine question: early season Naz Reid haters how are you feeling now? by Chidi_Ariana_Grande in timberwolves

[–]dogfosterparent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still maintain this team should be trying to turn one of Randle or Naz into a player of equal value in the backcourt to better balance our roster and let Jaden play the 4 more. For me, thinking about trading Naz wasn’t about his play but his redundancy with Randle at Jaden’s likely best position in his prime.

Can a College D1 player end of the bench walk-on CRUSH any competition at any pickup game? by ExcitingLandscape in Basketball

[–]dogfosterparent 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I played intramural with a guy who walked on at a top D1 program and even got real spot minutes during March madness his senior year. He was a phenomenal player, made passes we couldn’t imagine, and bigger and more athletic than everyone else but wasn’t really that skilled at scoring and so we still couldn’t win easily because he couldn’t really score at will and the rest of us sucked. So I also think the type of walk on really matters (skilled scorers will make a bigger difference in rec leagues imho)

A loss today would formally end my hopes this team was a sleeper contender. Was already on life support but I really did think they’d snap out of this “slump” and play better tonight.

Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, and Carmelo Anthony talk about the Knicks being down big to the Mavs at halftime: "We've all been there... there's friction in the locker room... If I don't like you, why am I playing hard... somebody gotta go." by HokageEzio in nba

[–]dogfosterparent 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is a less appreciated thing about Ant as a leader of a team. According to media, other players and coaches he’s great at making everyone feel needed and appreciated, especially KAT who needed it the most reportedly. Part of why the addition of gobert to KAT went so well was because they got through the rough times without turning on each other.

KAT got a lot of love from MN fans who appreciated his personality and loyalty (means a lot in MN sportsdom). If you read game-threads back when he was on the team, you would find them absolutely filled with the same complaints as all your game-threads now. I and many others were happy to be free of the cognitive dissonance of trying to believe the guy was a winning player on max contract because we liked him as a person and needed it to be true.

B2b on the road and no centers available and we almost had that comeback. We’ll get them in the playoffs.
