The Seattle Seahawks are entering one of the most fascinating seasons this franchise has seen in years. Coming off a championship season, expectations are obviously sky high, but what makes this offseason so interesting is that Seattle didn’t approach it like a team trying to completely reinvent itself. Instead, this organization doubled down on continuity, […]
With the Draft Lottery and the Combine all happening last week, the question I posed this time was simple: who is your current draft crush? We may ask this one may times over the next few weeks. Keep in mind it doesn’t HAVE to be Dallas Mavericks related either. Brent: Zuby Zuby Zuby! Just so […]
The goaltender market is starting to look like it'll be a busy one this offseason. We've talked a lot about names like pending UFAs Sergei Bobrovsky and Stuart Skinner, and a likely trade candidate like Jordan Binnington. Now we should be adding Darcy Kuemper's name to the list, per Scott Coffman in Mayors Manor . Once the LA Kings work out a new contract for RFA Brandt Clarke, and potentially re-sign pending UFA Scott Laughton, they'll have some cap issues if they were hoping to bring i...

From the moment his name was announced at the 2018 NFL Draft, Rashaad Penny became a dividing line among fans of the Seattle Seahawks. That remained the case for five seasons as the Seahawks battled to stay relevant in an ever-changing NFC West; the uber-talented Penny battled to stay on the field. After playing 42 […]

Few prospects in the 2026 class embody the idea of a true late-round upside swing quite like Seattle Seahawks sixth-round pick Emmanuel Henderson Jr. A former five-star running back recruit, elite multi-sport athlete, and one of the fastest players in the entire draft cycle, Henderson enters the NFL as a developmental offensive weapon whose clearest […]
Bringing a bad team to contention typically takes time. It took the Mavericks four years to return to prominence after drafting Luka Doncic. Cooper Flagg’s timeline is setting up to be similar. A lot has happened in the past year. After the Mavericks punted and traded Anthony Davis, the flagship piece in the Doncic trade […]
In Game 6 of their Western Conference Semifinals series against the San Antonio Spurs, the Minnesota Timberwolves season came to a thudding end as they were blown out for a third time in the series, 139-109. In retrospect, the Timberwolves were likely dead on arrival coming into the series. The Spurs showed they were the […]
Talk about a brutal interview! Here’s a question that Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith asked Cameron Boozer: “Carlos (Boozer) could only take us to the Western Conference Finals. What do you think you could do?” Well damn. Really, it’s a two-level question, or possibly three. The first level is psychological. It’s the sort of question […]
It is that time of the year again. The NBA Draft is still a few weeks away, giving plenty of opportunity for draft stocks to rise and fall, even long after prospects have finished their respective seasons. The draft stock of some prospects do not require a lot of marketing, while others have to work […]
On Friday night, the Spurs put on a clinic in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals sending the Minnesota Timberwolves into the summer break.

The Cleveland Cavaliers had a chance to close out their playoff series with the Detroit Pistons on Friday night, but in typical Cleveland fashion … they did not.

When Malachi Moreno announced he would be heading to the NBA Draft and the Combine, most thought he would definitely be returning to Kentucky basketball. But then, reports began circulating that Moreno was getting really good feedback from teams who were picking in the middle and back end of the first round. A good workout […]
When the Lakers traded for Rui Hachimura in 2023, they were acquiring a disgruntled wing, upset that the Wizards were not willing to commit to him long-term. The player who helped them to the second round of the 2026 playoffs years later had changed drastically, embracing his role on a team and franchise that has […]
To win an NBA championship, a team needs to win 16 playoff games. The majority of the players on the Spurs entered these playoffs without ever playing in an NBA playoff game, let alone winning one, or 16. The Spurs coach is also essentially a rookie, with just over one year of being a head […]
I was seven years old when my father first taught me how to play blackjack. Whether that is a particularly normal thing to teach a child of that age is perhaps a conversation for another time, but it is, for me, a formative and happy childhood memory. Having spent the better part of a week […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers’ entire season, and maybe this era of basketball, comes down to one night: Game 7 against the Detroit Pistons. This has been a rollercoaster of a series.

It was an ugly way to go out. The Minnesota Timberwolves' playoff run wrapped up with an embarrassing 30-point loss to the San Antonio Spurs and a six-game series defeat in the second round.

With that, let's have a look at three players who will not be back in Minnesota for the 2026-27 season. Julius Randle After a disastrous playoff performa...

I chatted with a slew of NBA individuals in recent days at the pre-draft ...
