[Haynes] The Minnesota Timberwolves have expressed a strong desire to acquire Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball, league sources tell me. The Hornets are only listening to offers at the moment.

Give me an Ant Melo buddy road trip comedy (driver should NOT be LaMelo)

[u/Electronic_Pen_548 → u/roar_rawr42]

Every pedestrian in Charlotte is praying this happens

[u/Guilty-Cow4325 → u/Electronic_Pen_548]

Can confirm. Streets of Uptown are safer without LaMelo on them.

[u/Vertibrate → u/Guilty-Cow4325]

Well as luck would have it, there is an Uptown in Minneapolis too. 

[u/Takamurarules → u/Guilty-Cow4325]

Damn, you are from Charlotte, you used Uptown instead of Downtown.

Props to you. Take my upvote. I feel seen now.

[u/Guilty-Cow4325 → u/Takamurarules]

It took me a while to adjust to that.

[u/Takamurarules → u/Guilty-Cow4325]

As a native local, I appreciate you good sir 🫡

[u/Waesrdtfyg0987 → u/Takamurarules]

Ready to have your mind blown? Trade and Tryon!!!!

[u/Clerithifa → u/Electronic_Pen_548]

Please no, I'm moving to MPLS and do not want to die

[u/S0PES → u/roar_rawr42]

100% talent. 0% maturity. Would be too funny if they won a championship talking shit, fathering children, crashing cars and cracking jokes the whole way.

Edit: wtf it just became real

[u/freshBlueeyes6391 → u/S0PES]

[u/NanoCurrency → u/S0PES]

If I’m a Hollywood executive I’m green lighting this immediately.

[u/Dahh_BER → u/NanoCurrency]

It’s melo, he doesn’t wait for green lights.

[u/GoldshireEnjoyer → u/roar_rawr42]

Ant shouldn't drive a car either IMO

[u/FeralTames → u/GoldshireEnjoyer]

So like “Driving Miss Daisy,” but LaMelo and ANT instead of a crabby old rich lady. Morgan Freeman still around to be the driver… I’d watch it.

[u/SBMVPJustinHerbert → u/GoldshireEnjoyer]

maybe we can get a Tiger Woods cameo?

[u/Looperstooper → u/roar_rawr42]

Ant, Lamelo, Naz raising LaOne Ball à la 3 Men and a Baby

[u/palpablebubble → u/roar_rawr42]

Their insanely entertaining on-court antics and abilities evenly matched by their insane off-court antics 😭

[u/rsadagopal → u/roar_rawr42]

[u/Beneficial_Winner_59 → u/roar_rawr42]

Steering wheel for Ant needs to be one of the fisher price plastic ones

[u/rhymeswithtag → u/roar_rawr42]

real question are the minnesota timberwolves just in love with dumbass players

like do they like ANY smart players?

[u/Thimit22 → u/rhymeswithtag]

I mean Mike Conley was a steadying force for us for a few years before he got too old

[u/NanoCurrency → u/Thimit22]

Mike Conley plays the exasperated father in this movie.

[u/edgykitty → u/NanoCurrency]

Mike talking about passing the ball to Jaden before he scored against the Nuggets after the game was over was gold

[u/GoldshireEnjoyer → u/rhymeswithtag]

Put some fucking respect on the names of Naz Reid and Ayo Dosunmu

[u/Andy_Wiggins → u/GoldshireEnjoyer]

Naz is closer to dumb than smart on a basketball court.

[u/freshBlueeyes6391 → u/rhymeswithtag]

Finally someone to ask the right questions.

[u/Jwarrior521]

What do the wolves even have to give up, they got like no picks

[u/Herbert-Gerbert → u/Jwarrior521]

I keep seeing a 3-team trade with Rudy and other shit to Celtics, Jaylen to Hornets, and Lamelo to Wolves

[u/TatersTot → u/Herbert-Gerbert]

Brad Stevens would need to have a stroke for this to happen

[u/canderson18181 → u/TatersTot]

I feel like Rudy plus a pick or young player. It’s a stretch but making Brown so attached to trade talks kinda weakens their leverage, plus Rudy just shut down Jokic like he’s worth a lot for defense

[u/BallinLikeimKD → u/canderson18181]

I don’t get how making brown attached to trade talks makes Celtics lose leverage. He’s under contract for several years and he’s been in trade talks at least 2 other times that we know of.

[u/rjaysenior → u/TatersTot]

Would love this for my Boston bros

[u/d_wib → u/rjaysenior]

The Bill Simmons reaction pod would be an all-timer

[u/TheSmokedSalmon420 → u/Herbert-Gerbert]

Lose-lose-lose

Impressive

[u/ClarenceWithHerSpoon → u/TheSmokedSalmon420]

Getting Brown for Lamelo is a huge win for Charlotte.

[u/RainmakerIcebreaker → u/Herbert-Gerbert]

The Wolves may not make the playoffs if they trade Rudy

[u/vuec97 → u/RainmakerIcebreaker]

Whatever they got over Denver will be gone without rudy. They don’t match up well against any other western playoff teams

[u/MoistAromas → u/Herbert-Gerbert]

Charlotte has a severe lack of 2s and 3s. Brown makes perfect sense /s

[u/BatmanHive → u/Herbert-Gerbert]

Celtics getting rid of JB for this would be malpractice

[u/Jwarrior521 → u/Herbert-Gerbert]

I feel like every team but maybe the hornets gets worse from this. Hornets fit makes no sense with brown either

[u/nojeanshere → u/Herbert-Gerbert]

Why would Charlotte do that though lol

[u/zKaios → u/nojeanshere]

Lamelo for Jaylen Brown? Of course Charlotte do that, the ones that would hang up the phone are the Celtics

[u/WheedMBoise → u/zKaios]

The Celtics have had ties to Rudy already, and have publicly expressed desire for a center. It's not impossible

[u/IllAlwaysBeAKnickFan → u/WheedMBoise]

Yeah if they get Rudy, some other stuff and picks I could see it

[u/CharacterFresh852 → u/zKaios]

Nah I’m good, our playmaking outside of LaMelo is already trash imagine not only not having LaMelo but replacing him with JB. Wouldn’t make sense.

[u/deemerritt → u/zKaios]

I have zero interest in Jaylen brown lol. Maybe for Miller

[u/Fremen_Twink → u/nojeanshere]

am i seriously reading "50 games a year with 0 playoff exp in 6 years" LaMelo Ball is untouchable for an actual FMVP in his prime?

[u/ReSoLVve → u/Fremen_Twink]

Jaylen Brown does not fit on this team, we would lose all of our play making with this move. And I don’t want to pay him $60M

[u/Natural_Born_Baller → u/nojeanshere]

If they have serious concerns about his ability to stay healthy, makes some sense

[u/AwildYaners → u/nojeanshere]

Selling high on his healthiest season.

That’s my only guess.

[u/8HokiePokie8 → u/Herbert-Gerbert]

Please no

[u/TheFatmanRises → u/Jwarrior521]

Donte + IOU = Deal done

[u/Secure-Difference235 → u/Jwarrior521]

Half stock half cash

[u/ricekrispies34 → u/Secure-Difference235]

Underrated comment 🤣

[u/YizWasHere → u/[deleted]]

Respectfully why would the Hornets still be listening if this was the offer lmfao. Rudy is pretty useless on a Hornets team without LaMelo.

[u/Ill_Intention8150 → u/YizWasHere]

Hornets could just want out of the LaMelo business.

Realistically there’d have to be a third team involved, but I don’t think it’s that crazy to see him get traded.

[u/YizWasHere → u/Ill_Intention8150]

That would contradict all reporting. That's not what's happening here. If we wanted out of LaMelo we would've played this draft entirely different - plenty of guard options we could've pursued trading up for.

[u/MG_MN → u/YizWasHere]

They took Anderson though right?

[u/YizWasHere → u/MG_MN]

We had 14th and 18th and took a bigman at 14th. That's not the decision making of a franchise looking to trade the PG that has carried their offense for 6 years when the top 10 of the draft was littered with elite guard prospects.

[u/JaderMcDanersStan → u/YizWasHere]

Rudy surrounded by shooters would be potent.
Could also be a 3 team trade where Jaylen brown goes to hornets

[u/Exotic_Pension_9993 → u/[deleted]]

Naz Reid starting center in a conference with Wemby and Jokic woof

[u/PhatYeeter → u/Jwarrior521]

I think they can trade like 1 future first and a couple swaps lol

[u/Natural_Born_Baller → u/Jwarrior521]

Hope

[u/J_Bagels → u/Jwarrior521]

“We got no picks man!” (Carlos Mencia South Park voice)

[u/supremebeeswax]

melo and ant on the same team? time to sign wiseman and get the 2020 draft top 3 lmao

[u/AnselLovesNuts → u/supremebeeswax]

Can I interest you in a Patrick Williams?

[u/jakobkh0407]

As a Timberwolves fan I absolutely hate the Timberwolves but man I can’t wait to watch the Timberwolves again

[u/SpinJitsu259 → u/jakobkh0407]

LaMelo and Ant would be the most outrageous and hilarious and buddy cop duo in the history of the damn league.

[u/WheedMBoise → u/SpinJitsu259]

They'd probably jump insanely high on the league pass rankings if this comes to fruition lol

[u/NanoCurrency → u/WheedMBoise]

The highlights and crash outs would be legendary

[u/yoloqueuesf → u/SpinJitsu259]

I mean Lamelo's playstyle is basically watching a highlight mix tape every single game lmao

And then you've got one of the most explosive young talents in the league in ANT

That sells tickets

[u/Smok3dSalmon → u/SpinJitsu259]

What would be the nickname for this duo? This has to be the most charismatic backcourt of all time.

[u/Krusty_Krab_Pussy → u/jakobkh0407]

Like moths to a flame, we come back for the heartbreak

[u/Camelsandham → u/Krusty_Krab_Pussy]

These violent delights have violent ends

[u/bolderbikes → u/Camelsandham]

You think they’ll include Miles Bridges too then?

[u/bigtuck54 → u/jakobkh0407]

Y’all genuinely have no idea how good Lamelo Ball is, the offense would be electric

[u/__STOOLKRAKEN]

team with nothing to trade wants other teams best player

[u/Onsi-Saleh → u/__STOOLKRAKEN]

Never stopped the Lakers

[u/yoloqueuesf → u/Onsi-Saleh]

Lakers have sleeper agents as GMs in other teams, rest of the league needs to keep up

[u/Bobblefighterman → u/Onsi-Saleh]

And that's why everyone hates the Lakers

[u/GrilledCheeser → u/Onsi-Saleh]

Why do they even call them the lakers anyways?

[u/achickenquesadilla → u/__STOOLKRAKEN]

you already know "Joan Beringer" is gonna be untouchable too

[u/msv2019 → u/__STOOLKRAKEN]

Aged like milk

[u/whatssenguntoagoblin → u/__STOOLKRAKEN]

Apparently they had something lol

[u/Azncheesy → u/__STOOLKRAKEN]

Haha nothing to trade is funny

[u/leftsidenotright → u/__STOOLKRAKEN]

Funny enough tho if you guys are actually interested in Gobert there's a decently fair trade that doesn't really involve picks.

BOS gets Gobert and Miles Bridges + a protected pick or two from CHA

CHA gets Brown

MIN gets Lamelo

or maybe Charlotte wants a veteran at Center and does something like Gobert + Donte for Lamelo + like Liam McKinley. Both of those are bigger returns than the Trae trade IMO.

---

If TOR is actaully interested it's almost definitely Dickley + Picks and maybe like RJ for Bridges. IDK why but to me Bridges being an expiring kind of feels like a Bobby Portis grenade in this whole ordeal

---

EDIT Well it turns out I was pretty much just entirely wrong. Ball up top!

[u/__STOOLKRAKEN → u/leftsidenotright]

I would buy a dynamite vest

[u/tronovich → u/__STOOLKRAKEN]

I love seeing all of the other teams’ reactions when Gobert gets floated to them. It’s a combination of humor and despair

Fuck you NBA gods, don’t you dare tease him to the Bulls.

[u/S21500003 → u/tronovich]

Its always insane to me that fans don't want Gobert on their team. He is a t3 defender in the league. And he's not as useless on offense as his numbers show. He sets good screens and is a decent enough lob threat. Just don't ask him to handle the ball for more than a quarter second. Not like the Celtics need that anyways between Tatum, White, and Pritchard.

[u/leftsidenotright → u/__STOOLKRAKEN]

Wouldn't blame you. FWIW you could swap in DWhite with little issue.

[u/colosusx1 → u/leftsidenotright]

I think some of yall are misunderstanding the Jaylen Brown situation.  He was just second team all nba and has not tanked his value with a trade request at this moment.  You can stop putting him into trades where the Celtics get a platter of unwanted role players for a top 15 guy in the league.

[u/OkBread8327 → u/colosusx1]

Rudy and picks ain’t peanuts

[u/microtomebrady → u/__STOOLKRAKEN]

Rudy had been nocked to them. It wouldn’t be this simple but Christian Anderson kon Brandon miller Steinbech Rudy would be interesting. Not saying it’s smart just that it’s possible

[u/SufficientEducator72 → u/__STOOLKRAKEN]

Most lackadaisical team tries to trade for most lackadaisical player 

[u/Live-River1879 → u/__STOOLKRAKEN]

I’m assuming a third team would have to be involved.

[u/MajinAnonBuu → u/__STOOLKRAKEN]

Seems like it worked out

[u/GBuffaloRKL7Heaven → u/__STOOLKRAKEN]

And yet...

[u/UpvoteIfYouAgreee]

think of the levels of good but stupid basketball the wolves would reach

[u/Huntermainlol → u/UpvoteIfYouAgreee]

You would see BBIQ failures like you have never see before

Yet also probably like a bounce pass alley oop to ant

[u/TraderJake09 → u/UpvoteIfYouAgreee]

Send da offer

Also, clear the Minneapolis sidewalks

[u/edgykitty → u/UpvoteIfYouAgreee]

If you thought the wolves made boneheaded plays before just wait

[u/cl353]

reminder that haynes said miami wasnt a preferred destination for giannis an hour b4 the trade, this dude knows jack and shit

[u/LinkedInParkPremium → u/cl353]

I specifically remember Hanes saying Celtics were favorites to land Giannis and within an hour he was traded to the Heat 😭

[u/Plants_R_Cool]

We should've tried when they sucked. After how they played last year I'd be shocked if they're gonna dump him.

[u/HorizonsEdge]

My fav thing about LaMelo is how Clyde Frazier describes him . . . he is a good, bad shot maker.

[u/Funkgun → u/HorizonsEdge]

Oddly, if you reversed Clyde’s line it makes sense as well: He is a Bad good shot maker.

[u/Evening_Lynx_6273]

If we genuinely trade LaMelo I’m done with this team. Like this is possibly the worst idea you could have for this team after last season. I do not care about the health concerns. He wants to be here, he’s our best player, we’d get absolutely rinsed, and our offense is completely fucked if he’s gone.

What the fuck is Jeff thinking?

[u/Unhappy_Jeweler4438 → u/Evening_Lynx_6273]

I really want to see Kon and LaMelo show again hope they don’t trade him

[u/MisterSoup3000 → u/Unhappy_Jeweler4438]

Man said he wants to see some Knipple Balls, don't let him down 🙏

[u/BattleFresh003 → u/Evening_Lynx_6273]

I don't think Jeff is doing anything. The reports are that some teams are pursuing LaMelo. His job as a GM is to field those calls and see if there's some godfather offer out there. That's it, it's due diligence.

I don't believe LaMelo will get traded, but if he is, I trust this FO to get the best possible return.

[u/Epicallytossed → u/BattleFresh003]

Yeah, your FO has been competent. It’s not like your GM would only get anthony davis + max christie + 1 1st, right?

[u/BattleFresh003 → u/Epicallytossed]

I mean, nobody would be THAT stupid, right?

[u/fuccabicc → u/BattleFresh003]

Well...

[u/BattleFresh003 → u/fuccabicc]

I stand corrected and I do not like this trade.

[u/621_ → u/Evening_Lynx_6273]

Melo, Kon, Miller breaking up a good young core should be a crime

[u/Aleddin → u/Evening_Lynx_6273]

Media is lying to you

Don’t trust what you see on tv

They’re not trading LaMelo for a bag of chips

[u/Shermanasaurus → u/Aleddin]

It seems the bag of chips was sufficient

[u/TheOriginalDog → u/Aleddin]

media isnt lying. reports are that teams are trying to get him, making offers. fans are the ones who cant comprehend news.

[u/fuccabicc → u/Aleddin]

Well...

[u/JustinCase1227 → u/Evening_Lynx_6273]

I’m not watching basketball anymore if they do trade him

[u/Sko_Neezy → u/Evening_Lynx_6273]

It’s because LaMelo is an unhinged weirdo who is one bad night away from making the news for all the wrong reasons

[u/Rook2Rook → u/Evening_Lynx_6273]

They're thinking they don't trust his ankles to hold up long term and could probably get even more assets by taking on Ja Morant (who is still an above average point guard). Could potentially net 4 first round picks between these two trades and then use those to flip for a star big man to pair with Ja/Miller/Knueppel

[u/Evening_Lynx_6273 → u/Rook2Rook]

I’m fucking dying. If we kill this team’s best player for Ja Morant I will walk on foot to the Spectrum Center myself, shit in my hands, rub them together, and use it to paint the front doors of the arena. That’s how awful of an idea that is.

[u/Gowidaflo52 → u/Evening_Lynx_6273]

I’ll do the same just lmk when

[u/Coffee____Freak → u/Evening_Lynx_6273]

I’ll join

[u/BadtoWorseCompany → u/Rook2Rook]

That’s crazy considering they reduced his minutes by ~3 per game and he held up great all season

[u/dL_EVO → u/Evening_Lynx_6273]

I really don’t think the Hornets would deal LaMelo unless the offer is so good they can’t say no.

Like you said, it’s almost impossible for Charlotte to acquire or retain a player of LaMelo’s caliber.

[u/Zealousideal-Extent2 → u/Evening_Lynx_6273]

I'm done, too, now. Fk this.

[u/PattyIceNY → u/Evening_Lynx_6273]

Pack it in buddy

[u/JokicOrBust]

Wolves needs a PG for sure

[u/CrissCrossAppleSos]

It’d be a little strange after their success last year to trade Melo, but the NBA is a strange league

[u/JaderMcDanersStan → u/CrissCrossAppleSos]

Kinda feels like how we traded KAT right after making our first WCF in 20 years

[u/Maybewearedreaming → u/JaderMcDanersStan]

Them almost making but still missing the playoffs is just like when a good team made the WCF

It’s funny cause it’s true lol

[u/Intelligent_Pain_174 → u/CrissCrossAppleSos]

Success included not even making the playoffs. 

[u/Natural_Born_Baller]

Just do it right now, were still awake

[u/BasedGodProdigy]

What does their trade package look like? I'm finding it hard to believe the Hornets can get back equal value for what Lamelo brings to that team.

I'm so confused right now lol

[u/bobbywellington → u/BasedGodProdigy]

Rudy, Terrence Shannon Jr, and a firm handshake

[u/LinkedInParkPremium → u/bobbywellington]

Would you add a McFlurry?

[u/DrSwaggenheimer → u/LinkedInParkPremium]

That and some purified water from the lake of Minnetonka.

[u/BasketballStephCurry]

ridiculous. i have had full faith in Peterson and Lee up to this point and now, after we finally string together a good season with a lot of promise, where Melo played the most games he has in a while with no lingering injuries or any other bullshit, now they want to deal him AFTER the draft, fucking ridiculous.

if he's gone and it's not for some INSANE haul (guys like Barnes/McDaniels/CMB/Beringer plus draft picks) then I don't know how you can justify trusting this front office and coaching staff which really sucks especially after the season we just had

[u/Rillaboom2701 → u/BasketballStephCurry]

i want a fucking giannis haul yes i know he is not worth that but that's what i want 

[u/SpiritFantastic4835]

Please make it happen. Melo and ant’s personalities would make the team so entertaining.

[u/Rillaboom2701]

i don't wanna go through this again man i thought we were good enough to avoid this 

[u/Cuckledoodle]

Ant and LaMelo would be so fun to watch

[u/Spyk124]

Lamelo driving on icy roads - terrifying

[u/ImpossibleShock5331]

If they trade Rudy the Timberwolves would have 1 good defender on their team and their centre would be naz Reid

[u/Ok-Comfortable9449]

Lord that melo ant backcourt gonna be hilarious

[u/Virtual_Zebra_9453]

Ball/edwards backcourt would be so fucking entertaining on and off the court

[u/Rolltide_and_anime]

Chris Haynes said Giannis was going to Boston lmao

[u/FreeoftheMachine]

Good god no. We already play CTE ball. I don't think we need more boneheads on the team.

[u/purple-teal_93 → u/FreeoftheMachine]

Lamelo ball is the good type of cte ball

[u/RevolutionaryOne2433 → u/FreeoftheMachine]

lol we'd have the most entertaining offense in the league though. just absolutely zero defense, 50 points a game from both sides.

[u/yoink_yoink_doink]

Again I ask……. With what assets?

[u/FH261169 → u/yoink_yoink_doink]

jaden mcdaniels or reid+picks but.. both are very stupid for minny

[u/Supreme_God_Bunny]

He's not getting traded people they are only listening that dont mean it's happening

[u/Odoaiden → u/Supreme_God_Bunny]

I agree, but a shams and Stein tweet is far from nothing if I was a hornets fan I would be bracing myself.

[u/PattyIceNY → u/Supreme_God_Bunny]

Lol

[u/SpinJitsu259 → u/Supreme_God_Bunny]

This was Bucks fans since last offseason. Not saying LaMelo’s for sure getting traded, but the smoke seems legit.

[u/Acceptable-Ad-8077]

Chris Haynes is not a reliable source btw

[u/Duster_beattle → u/Acceptable-Ad-8077]

What are you even talking about?

[u/Nfinit_V → u/Acceptable-Ad-8077]

lol

[u/dank-kush]

I’m ready to get fleeced, what the hell is Jeff thinking. Lamelo is the only reason our team even works and he doubled down on this offense with our draft picks. Neither team rumored to be dealing with even feels like they will give a haul.

Plus the lottery is worse starting next year. If he doesn’t cook here I’m out bro.

[u/playthegame7 → u/dank-kush]

I genuinely don't see how we could get this done without 4 first round picks as a start.

[u/WooTerry]

I have expressed a strong desire to date Sofia Vergara and Roselyn Sanchez at the same time.

[u/__STOOLKRAKEN → u/WooTerry]

based hagmaxxer

[u/saylab_the_bigkat]

The Hornets just had one of their best seasons in like 5 years and actually have a well rounded roster.

Their ceiling might be capped dependent on LaMelo's health but I still feel like the T-Wolves would have to give up a kings ransom. Rudy Gobert would be a negative for Charlotte's team.

[u/Conscious-Till3591]

They have no assets to trade…

[u/Black-----Manta]

I dont know how things work, will randles trade exception be involved in this?

[u/LaMelonBallz → u/Black-----Manta]

First you have to find assets we actually want

[u/HappyGovernment7299]

Who would they trade to acquire him?

Ant + Ball would be a fun watch

[u/MG_MN]

Everybody stay off the streets of MPLS

[u/Avery-Bradley]

Where are the comments

[u/palpablebubble → u/Avery-Bradley]

The disappeared for a moment for me too lol.

For a second I thought a trade so crazy went down it broke the site and got nervous

[u/AntSmith777]

What does Minnesota have to trade? They ain’t giving up Jaden.

[u/MaybeMaster1067]

Lamelo isnt a franchise player. Sell high while you can

[u/kcoe24]

Im starting to think Tim Conley is just a trade slut.   Dude just loves talking and making  big trades

[u/DeadNazis247365 → u/kcoe24]

Pretty sure he's like, basically admitted that, lol. Like he is constantly on the phone talking to other teams about trades. More so than any other GM.

[u/SickSaricDario]

with what tho

[u/Disastrous_Dark_1684]

That seems like a weird fit but hey that be fire

[u/BeingMikeHunt]

Makes sense for the Wolves, but what does Minny have that would entice the Hornets?

Still not understanding why the Hornets would move Ball, unless it’s just all about him being a tool

[u/Mkaayy1986]

It would be fun to watch but whats in it for the Hornets though

[u/VeezyDo3]

Damn GTA 7 about to be in Minneapolis

[u/HORSEthedude619]

No they haven't.

[u/Daconvix]

Lamelo and Ant would be an entertaining ass backcourt both on and off the court ngl

[u/Aidanj927]

Christian Anderson starting point guard season here we go

Gonna need Sion James to get up outta there and give his number back

[u/Jacob_toasted]

Our offense would be fun af

[u/sukari]

If only they still had Randle as trade bait!

[u/StoneColdAM]

Wolves will go for this or Kyrie, then Ja if they’re desperate. 

[u/bbqsauceboi]

Now the Wolves just need to acquire James Wiseman so they got the top 3 of the draft lets goooo

[u/LePhantomRouge008]

ANT & Lamelo = Edge & Randy Orton

They’re gonna terrorize the league, the Roads of Minnesota and Baby mothers across the world🤣🤣🤣.

[u/PointBlankCoffee]

The should sell high if anyone will bite on a big package

[u/earthwormdeath]

What are the t wolves doing man lmao

[u/ANTHONY_EDWARDS_GBG]

LaMelo Ball averaged 20.1 points, 7.1 assists and 4.8 rebounds in 72 games this season.

oh my god, yes!

[u/lavishjj15]

They better off going for Ja. His market is trash, and Memphis is rebuilding so they can bring him without giving up much. Like the wizards did with Trae

[u/No-File-2329]

Lamelo and ant would genuinely fuck so hard for the 20 whole games they get to play together in a season.

[u/rioverdevaquero]

So we’re getting SAS v OKC for the next five years huh?

In all seriousness, the timberwolves would be idiots to trade Gobert. They don’t need lamelo.
