Atlanta has traded guard Allen Crabbe to Minnesota for PG Jeff Teague and Treveon Graham, league sources tell ESPN. Hawks get a backup for Trae Young.

Serious question: Are we 100% sure David Kahn isn't running the T-Wolves anymore?
Jeff Teague was an All-Star in Atlanta. He was the starting point guard for the Hawks, the last time the Hawks won a playoff series. Now, he's back in Atlanta, to be a backup. That'd sting a bit, if it were me.

I can see why Atlanta would do it. They get out from under Crabbe's bad contract and get a team legend/mentor for Trae. But was this really the best deal Minnesota could swing for Teague?

Brandon Ingram is ballin. Wasn't sure he was going to be much after his first year.

Interesting insights from a couple players came out this week about players, social media, and professional basketball.
Carter on OTL talking about how guys check their social media at half time, etc.
Redick on his podcast this week talking about some of the young guys in the league are more concerned with the pre game instagram photo shoots than how they can play winning basketball

if you have players checking their social media at half time you know it's a addiction and not a healthy one either
... As opposed to all the healthy addictions out there?
Spurs have had an epic case of #LemonBooty in the fourth.
Hawks just won their first game in San Antonio in almost 23 years. The last time they won in San Antonio, the Spurs were still playing in the Alamodome. Bad, bad loss for the Spurs.
The Sixers had 6 guys on the court and somehow ran a play before anyone noticed https://t.co/zoljDoaxTs

Maybe they were experimenting with a hockey-style line change?

Man, I am getting my entire life to watching this Timberwolves team be trash. Mostly because I can't stand Big Sawfty. I've said it before, that dude is actually all the things on the basketball court (mentally soft, empty stats, not a winner, can't make his teammates better, etc.) that Cousins' detractors claim him to be, but Sawfty gets a pass, because he's not "volatile," or some ****. And I remember when Kendrick Perkins was on The Jump before the start of the season, and he said he didn't see the Timberwolves being any good this season. Man, after those first eight games, Timberwolves fans had all the hot takes for Perk... Boy, they were talking cash noise! And now, look at them! All of a sudden, the Timberwolves fandom is real, real, real, real, real quiet!.
I love it... I LOVE IT! Inject that **** directly into my ****ing veins!

I've never seen you so excited about something lmao. Your Towns/Cousins analysis is spot on however, and something I had never thought of.
Love fades. Hate endures.
What's the difference between the Houston Rockets and a dollar bill?

I laughed way too hard at this.

Out of morbid curiosity I looked it up.., damn. You pretty much nailed it with what you said.
Watching the Timberwolves lose might be my new favorite pastime.
It blows my mind that a guy that much younger than me is old enough, relative to his peers, to be "Get off my lawn!" guy.
