Shams Charania:
Just in: Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has sustained a bone bruise and hyperextension in his left knee and is expected to miss multiple weeks, sources tell ESPN. Results showed Edwards avoided any ligament damage, but he will now miss time.

With the Cavs now getting Watson it looks like Kuminga is down to choosing either the Wolves or the Lakers. Both are in a difficult spot financially.
I'd argue the Wolves give Kuminga a better opportunity to increase his value. The Lakers ownership change leaves a lot of unknowns (unstable GM situation).
It's looking like the Wolves could actually get him on a 1 year minimum deal and have a PF without giving up any assets.
Would be a best case scenario given the limited financial position the Wolves are in.
Here lies the Denver Nuggets

…and then they ruined it by becoming successful. Also the owner was the absolute 🐐. Miss you Glen.

Apologies for the nothing post but this mf one of my favourite Wolves ever 🐺
Look at him, looking so dapper.
The NBA has found no evidence showing LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer funneled money through team sponsors to pay Kawhi Leonard in order to circumvent the salary cap, according to three people with knowledge of discussions between the two sides in recent days.
Instead, the NBA is focused on whether the team's introduction of Leonard to team sponsors constitutes a violation of the league's rules prohibiting salary cap circumvention, two of the sources said. The league is examining whether the Clippers are guilty of "failure to supervise" employees, though it's unclear what specific rule the team would have violated or what the penalties would be, two of the sources said.
…
Two sources with direct knowledge of the situation said Leonard has maintained to the NBPA, league and Wachtell Lipton that he had no involvement in salary cap circumvention, and so far conversations around potential consequences have centered on him paying restitution for potential improper benefits from the Clippers, such as travel and lodging, for his representative and uncle Dennis Robertson.
If the case goes to arbitration, the arbitrator could compel document production, witness testimony and order discovery. After a hearing, the arbitrator's ruling would be subject to an appeals panel made up of three people jointly appointed by the NBA and NBPA. The appeal panel decision is binding. Only after that process could Silver be authorized to issue any potential punishment.
Pretty impressive when you look at how many games he missed in his career. Now that he’s with the Timberwolves I think he’s playing in the majority of the games and will dead a lot of the stereotypes and perceptions that people have about him.
I understand that the Wolves had it in writing.
Kawhi deal is just as obvious. Gary Trent and the bucks is pretty obvious.
With the right attorneys. Would the Wolves have a case to sue the NBA for damages from their prior ruling of being made of an example, and losing 3 frp?
I'm not asking for much. Just maybe the first over all pick for thr next three years?
Some hilarious shit in this one. And Clark taking care of the young fellas.
Not a wolves fan but randomly thought about Kevin Love in the old days when he was a rebounding machine. Curious what the minnesota fan base thinks about KLove.
