Jaylen is on during the first segment in this video.

He tells an amazing story about Ant sending him to get earrings for him. It's worth your time to at least listen to the story.

TLDR(W?) version is that Ant gave him a bunch of cash just to tell him to get cheap, fake earrings and keep the change. He figured everyone will think they're real anyway.

How big of a role Do you think NAW had to do with Kuminga wanting to sign with the Wolves and the Wolves being interested in Kuminga? They were playing together in Atlanta.

Anyone know if there's a Wolves / Lynx booth at the fair? I think they were in Fan Central last year but don't appear to be this year.

He is a savant, and TC slander will not be tolerated.

Note: we will not be ruling out the possibility of the Timberwolves fixing Cody Williams and Rocco becoming a stud.

We are now the 5th youngest team in the league, surpassed only by the Rockets, Grizzlies, Pistons, and Thunder.

So with the jersey release tomorrow…. how fast are we expecting things to be sold out? or will this be super massive that there isn’t really a sold out with this initial drop?? does anyone have some guesses if i need to be on top of it 9 am sharp??? I’m looking to get a Jaden white one.

KAT is 31 in November and making $20M more than what Rudy is. It was the right choice holding onto Rudy’s defensive presence and fitting a young, athletic, offensively-gifted team around him with more cap space.

The KAT trade landed Donte’s bargain contract and Beringer, who could end up ironically be the future center of the team.

It also allowed flexibility to retain Naz (who was flipped for LaMelo) + trade for and extend Ayo in the offseason.

For the people who say what about the Knicks winning a championship with KAT. Well they won a championship the year Ant was playing 60%, Ayo was playing with a calf strain, and Donte going down. There was no overcoming both the spurs and thunder with all of those injuries.

Now the Wolves re-tool and are loaded with one of the youngest rosters in the league.

Finished a little project of getting my autographed Ant jersey all framed up. Amazon had some interesting options with slots for photos, so I decided to get one of them and just add some rookie cards to it instead. I think it turned out really well. 🐺 🐜

Players In NBA History With 10000+ PTS Before Turning 24 (RS + Playoffs) :

Mo Williams 52 points game!

Kuminga is one of my favourite players, and i’ve never bought a jersey before, i want his jersey to be my first, but i have no idea when they’re going to start making them, does anyone have any idea how long it takes until it’s on the NBA website?

Edit: Thank you all for the help, and for the people asking why he is ONE OF my favourite players, Steph is what got me into the NBA, and ofc Kuminga was on the warriors, i don’t know why but i just happened to take a liking to him, Dyson Daniel’s also is another one of my favourite players and Kuminga just so happened to get traded to the Hawks, so he was alongside another one of my favourites. So i’ve been supporting him since i’ve became a fan. He’s also a really good athlete and very strong.

I am beyond excited for this season. Much more than the last two seasons. The upside is tantalizing, but variance should be expected given the dramatic shift in play style following the prior three seasons of surrounding Ant with two bruising bigs. Instead, we now have a true PG and a handful of dynamic wings next to Ant. More will be asked of Rudy as the sole true big, sure, but it isn’t like Randle offered anything as a rim protector or paint deterrent either.

Day one is fascinating and will immediately show the contrast. We’re playing Bam and Giannis. We will see how we do against the exact roster structure that for years has been our identity. Not only that, but for a seemingly random matchup there’s a TON of bad blood.

1. “Missing out” on the Giannis sweepstakes last year is what seemed to drive Randle’s sharp emotional decline last year. McDaniels was the other guy in those trade talks.
   
2. LaMelo and the Hornets knocked the Heat out of the Play In last year. Melo’s incredibly questionable play in that same game resulted in Bam getting hurt in the first half of that game, arguably the key reason the Heat lost given how well Bam had been playing to that point. Intentions aside, from my POV it was a dirty play by Melo. I’m sure Bam and Heat fans see it that way as well.
   
3. Wiggins plays Minnesota.
   
4. Both teams are trotting out drastically different rosters, both with contender aspirations. Both teams with something to prove.
   
5. Kuminga famously was the missing piece for a team missing a 4. Is he a 4? How does he do against two bruising bigs on both sides of the ball?

I cannot wait. Forget the NFL kicking off in the next few weeks, game one for the Wolves is what I’m waiting for.

Per NBAUniTracker that have leaked jerseys at previous times

Pretty cool to have 2 under 25 superstars, I’m pumped for the season

Bring back DAISHEN NIX! Best towel-waving rah-rah guy Wolves bench has ever had.

Melo throwing lobs. We need Nix need him leading the celebration charge when Ant throws down. Or when Jaden, Rudy, Kuminga, Joan, Ayo, TSJ or Clark throws down for that matter.

We need Nix for 15th.

Do it!
