Come for the sports, stay for the stories. Well, we had a big trade last night. The Charlotte Hornets traded LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Timberwolves for Naz Reed and a series of draft picks. The Hornets will receive a 20-33 unprotected first-round pick, three second-round picks, 20-29, 20-32, 20-33. Charlotte also get first-round pick swaps in 28, 29, and 30. The The Timberwolves now have number one and number three picks from the 2020 draft. Joe, did Minnesota just become a dangerous backcourt in the Western Conference after pairing Melo and Ant-Man together in Minnesota?
Man, I don't know how dangerous they're going to be, Uncle Ocho. but they damn sure going to be fun to watch. They going to be exciting, huh?
How will pairing LaMelo Ball with Anthony Edwards change the Timberwolves’ offense and roster needs?
Oh, man, they going to be fun to watch. I was getting ready to say that, Joe. They might not be the most dangerous, but they going to be entertaining as hell. Oh, man. Hey, because, you know, you got to understand, both of those guys probably rank top five, top ten in signature shoes that's out right now. LaMelo with Puma. Ant-Man with Adidas, and just the aura that they both carry. I think they're going to make each other better, bro. I think it's definitely going to help. If y'all notice, we always talk about a copycat league, whether it's the NFL, whether it's the NBA. You see what Minnesota got going on. They trying to surround Rudy With all these tweeners who can do a little bit of everything, kind of like how San Antonio, obviously Rudy ain't no damn wimpy, but, you know, they playing.
Hey, I kind of see it. Same way with New York. New York got Cat at the 5, but then you got OG, Hart, Bridges. You know, you got all these tweener guys around them. So I can kind of see that's where Minnesota's going because they got rid of their beef. Yeah, Joe, I think the thing is that they need more scoring. They need consistent scoring. They need somebody that can absorb some of these double teams from Ant-Man.
