When thinking of Jonathan Kuminga in a vacuum, it may not be that appealing to Wolves fans. But when comparing him to Julius Randle and realizing while there is a drop off, it’s not actually as steep as we might assume it is. Screenshot: Dunksandthrees.com
Here's how the Wolves salary cap would look like if they waived and stretched Josh Green I'm not a big fan of putting $4.9 million of dead money on the books, but that's likely the cost for Kuminga Wolves would have two open roster spots they could use on vet minimum contracts
Ryan Eichten@reichten.bsky.social · 2w agoWolves are about $2.1 million over the second apron, which they are, by CBA rule, not allowed to surpass They will either need to make a cost-cutting trade or waive and stretch Josh Green, which would put ~$5 million of dead cap money on their books this season and the next two
BREAKING: Jonathan Kuminga has agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves, plus a player option, agent Aaron Turner tells ESPN. Kuminga will be a starter alongside Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert on the West contender.

This is a true meniscus repair then. Much better long-term outcomes if it holds.

Newly acquired Milwaukee Bucks guard Kasparas Jakucionis was one of the most efficient catch and shoot players in the NBA in his rookie season. Farther right = more efficient Higher = higher attempt rate Tool: courtsketch.com/scattergen

Random POTD Dee Brown. Illinois G teamed w/Deron Williams to almost win 05 NCAA title. Brown was drafted 46th by UTA in 06. Had 2 ppg as rookie & went to Turkey. Had cameos w/WAS & PHO in 08-09 before returning to Europe from 09-15. Now coaches Division 2 college Roosevelt U.
In my headcannon, this will be the shot that ended the Jokic era Nuggets as contenders.

Okay actually reading the article and I don't think this changes much in practice The NBA--nor Pablo Torre--has never had DISPOSITIVE proof. It's all aggressive circumstantial evidence (still important!) The NBA is still looking at whether this conduct is punishable www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...
Sources: NBA has no evidence Ballmer funneled money to Leonard via sponsors
The NBA has found no evidence showing LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer funneled money through team sponsors to pay Kawhi Leonard, according to three people with knowledge of discussions between the two sides in recent days.

This is a thing I'm working on. Consider it a beta version. The idea is to separate linear player effects from non-additive lineup interactions in a way that I don't think has been done before (to my knowledge!). There's a lot of stuff here already. Enjoy or not enjoy! gestalt.toplines.app

Anthony Edwards is one of the most efficient catch and shoot players in the game, but is near the bottom of the league in catch and shoot attempts per 100 possessions. That frequency should move up. Tool: courtsketch.com/scattergen Farther right = more efficient Higher = higher attempt rate
Hoop Informatics@hoopinformatics.com · 4w agoExample: Wolves Every NBA team typically has at least one starter who assists on 25% or more of their teammates' shots while on the floor, except for the Wolves. Randle led them with 22.7% last season. Now they will have LaMelo Ball who is pushing a 40% assist% setting up Anthony Edwards.
I’m excited for the upcoming NBA season, so I put together two things I’m most looking forward to watching for each team.

The Substack AI detection tool does not appear to be functional. Perhaps if it gives a very high percentage, then yes. I just wrote some paragraphs to test and @pangram.com said it was 8% AI. Example: “Blossom” was a word I used that once I replaced it with the word “grow” it lowered the AI%.
Instead of just a google sheet, I now have the basketball resource database here as well. Mostly all sites with stats, visuals, or game notes. I may eventually expand it to include other resources.

A projected top-5 college basketball team just loss their offensive engine to a foot injury. Illinois basketball announced that David Mirkovic had surgery on his left foot after sustaining an injury in practice and is expected to make a full recovery, although no time table was given.
Something I’ve been thinking a lot about is separating what’s flashy from what actually impacts winning. The basketball equivalent of a shortstop whose diving catch draws the highlight, while a better shortstop, with sharper reactions and more range, turns the same ground ball into a routine play.
