So I think that combined with...

concern around the league for just what comes with jaw that combination like i i'd be surprised if jaw gets moved i can't remember a year where we've had so many high profile guys who seemingly are discontented to some extent in their situations but it might not you kind of you know reach that tipping point where something happens right now you know there's noise

Point guard.

Um, it's interesting.

I reported a while back that they were one of the teams monitoring the John Morant situation.

Um, you know, that I think is still like, again, I'm already handicapping.

That is unlikely for anybody.

And that certainly would include Minnesota, but Tim Conley, their president of basketball operations is on the short list of, uh,

most aggressive executives in the league.

He went out and paid a steep freight to get Rudy Gobert.

He has made moves all the way through his tenure that were pretty bold.

And so I don't know what it looks like, but I'd be surprised if Tim stood Pat at the deadline.

One name I've heard with Minnesota a bit is Kobe White that could be of interest.

So that's probably worth watching.

But they absolutely are a team that came in

with title contending aspirations, you know, our John Krasinski, the expert on all things, wolves in Minnesota wrote a great piece about Anthony Edwards going into the year.

It just made you feel like he was about to level up and go ahead and find a way to join that top three or five group of most elite players in the league.

And he's got the numbers and he's been doing his thing, but the winning is not there and they have struggled.

So I think, you know, before, uh,

Some of this smoke, you know, as far as things in Minnesota looked at, you know, they were in on Kevin Durant trying to make that happen.
