Man ESPN really be like a pack of vultures. Already got their next target.

…..Has anyone informed Ant that he’s unhappy?

The ESPN machine demands more flesh

Let me guess, Boston LA or NY?

Send da trade offer

Pretty funny national media didn’t wait 12 hours before making an organized push to put a new star player in trade rumors

This discourse is exhausting. The breaking news analysis to Giannis being traded is to immediately spin up the next star who will be moved.

It’s lame

Man….Windy really wants to push this narrative. On the pod, and now here.

goddamn Windy, could you be any slower?

if this is the hard-hitting sports journalism ESPN is known for, I shudder to think what they’ll do when Curry and Bron retire – NBA news well and truly has devolved into following the longest-tenured all-star player on a small market team around until said team trades him, only to move on the the next player on a small market who hasn’t been traded in the last two years

ESPN looking for their next victim

This is the most egregious and blatant narrative shift I’ve ever seen. It’s been less than 24 hours.

Windhorst just needs a new topic to annoy us with. He sucks- go away.

Go back to suckin Lebrons nuts lol

Watch Randle now win a chip

As if Ant is gonna be moved at all by NAW’s coveted MIP award

Send da (tribute) video

Minnesota just locked up Jaden Ant Ayo Naz Terrenc Shannon and Beringer who all are 26 and younger all hitting their prime at the same time with room to add more I honestly don’t see why this is the reaction did they want us to keep Randle? This is at minimum a solid group of role players to have around ant and possibly could have 1 of them breakout into stars with the opportunities now available

I hold everyone who engages with this shit personally responsible for dumbing down NBA discussion to the lowest common denominator. This is so unhealthy for the sport.

It will take 7 1st round picks plus your entire roster

They really got nothing else go talk about?

there’s a rumor going around that Silver is desperate to get the Bulls back on the map so don’t be surprised when he ends up there

Fuck ESPN

Alright chill, we have been on this Gianni’s trade for like 3 years already

This is nasty work lmao (Hawks will be there)

These guys suck ass

windy should be trading his nutritionist hes clearly trying to kill him

Sorry Wolves fans, the curse is yours now

ESPN mission accomplished, a star went to LA/Miami/NYC

Time for the next one

If Disney/ESPN really wants to cut costs, they should just go back to making Sportscenter highlights only with maybe a candid interview on Sunday/Monday, then play that shit on loop for 18 hours a day and air some home gym/workout videos again. Saves them millions and we don’t have to hear this shit.

Hell I’ll pitch in $100 if I never have to see SAS, Ryan Clark or Windy again.

We collectively need to stop posting this garbage. I’m going to start reporting any trade speculation that’s not sourced 

I’d be shocked if Edward’s is on the wolves in 2 years

I hope this sub/wolves fans will use this as a moment to understand why so many bucks fans have been so frustrated at ESPN for the past several years.

Even when they are accurately reporting things, it’s clear it works in their favor to endlessly push narratives about stars wanting out

get em Windy. will it into existence.

This is irresponsible. Irresponsible question. Irresponsible answer.

I think this is really dependent on Minnesota staying in the Western Conference. If the wolves continue to trudge along with being the 3rd-6th best team in the west, I can’t imagine Ant would stay long term. The franchise doesn’t have the location draw or historical success to keep him around if they aren’t winning. But if they go to the East, he probably sticks around for the remainder of his prime. Simply a much better opportunity for playoff success

Ant’s only trade request would be to join the NFL

Windy is stirring so much shit lately lmao.

Windhorst deciding Shams is not beating him to another years-long gravy train of content lol

The moving from one superstar to the next to start a campaign to push them out of their team is so gross…but also ant come home

Some of these guys in randles skill bracket get paid the massive contract only to be delt to nets or wizards to watch their career die

Windy reporting these news like its jam packed with complex carbs and excess calories

Can we have like a single day off from this shit? I wonder if someone told windy that he needs to drum some shit up or if he just gets off on this

Gotta stop upvoting bullshit like this. This type of content adds absolutely nothing to the sport

Ant’s young enough, any chance they’d tank this year around him or would he raise the floor too much?

Show me da trade

FFS thanks Windy, now Pelinka is going to take another 2 gap years chasing Ant

Insane. They instantly moved on to Ant trade saga drama. Wolves fans called it.

[Windhorst] “None of my spaghetti is sticking to the wall! I must cook more!!!”

Don’t forget them swinging and missing on Rob Dillingham too.

LuGM is gonna have to get to work.

Silvers is going to make him a warrior

This nonstop need to be ²⁴⁄₇ cycle of rumors has ruined whatever is left of ESPN’s credibility. At this point, why stop at Edwards?! How about Tatum or SGA?!?

These assholes really can’t help themselves can they? Always have to be sowing discontent.

Maybe they should learn how to talk real basketball

God, I’m sorry Timberwolves fans. I know we very healthily hate eachother in some other sports domes, but I don’t wish this on y’all.

That would be crazy

It’s like the South Park episode “Britney’s New Look”.  At the end, after Britney Spears dies, the adults all confer and say, “another star will take her place to maintain a steady harvest.”

The Wolves have won 5 playoff series in 3 years, that’s better than like ²⁴⁄₃₀ teams in the league. They also just added Dosunmo who was huge for them

Why is r/nba always surprised when the media reports that a star wants to win now? It’s like you all immediately forgot about Giannis who wanted to move for 2 whole seasons (despite what folks in here originally thought). Competitive players want to compete. That’s it. They aren’t forcing anybody to a “bigger” market either. The players are going where they can win. 

I don’t know how we couldn’t get a legit #2 for him. I read on the subs everywhere Randle is addition by subtraction which I disagree with. Randle was huge for us in regular season wins. Not saying he’s our answer for a second option but surrounding Ant with role players is not the answer he’s not the offensive hub that Jokic is or even Luka who needed Kyrie to make it to the finals.

Let’s not do this

Gotta have something to write/gripe about.

And now Julius Randle was traded and he’s going to win MVP!

NBA media is disgusting.

it hasn’t even been a full day lmaooo

Damn, Milwaukee’s copse isn’t even cold yet

It’s insanely pathetic how we couldn’t even go 12 hours before another “unhappy superstar” rumor mill started up

This is why people hate the NBA

I dunno, moving Randle gave them some financial room, I’m not sure they are done making moves.

Windbag needs to shut his fat mouth

Everybody gets better when they get away from Anthony Edwards.

Windhorst yapping about sports while chomping down on burgers and donuts

Fuck off windy

Fuck Windy with this shit

Jokic

Windhorsesaid he was going to Boston why’d you lie

this is why why folks hate espn, it’s all so tiring

NAW ?

JB for Ant

KAT wins a ring.

NAW wins MIP.

Ant is watching former teammates unlock achievements like he’s still playing the tutorial.

He ain’t wrong imo. Wolves have zero picks. Zero future.

Ant paired with Wemby would be cinema 😈

They should trade ANT to the Lakers for Reaves. 

If history proves true then it is a guaranteed 1 overall next year. 

As a wolves fan, while there may be some media vulturing going on here, he isn’t necessarily wrong. He said playoff records for his age, puts it all out there every year and the team lets him down. Couple this with being in a small market and it’s not at all crazy to say that he’ll want out within the next 2 seasons if the team doesn’t improve. Not sure why wolves fans are all up in arms about this, it’s kinda how the nba works

Ant to the Lakers? A backcourt with him and Luka would reel off back to back championships and start a dynasty 😅

Have you ever noticed Lakers or Knicks players are never reported to be unhappy and demanding trades?

Hey Minnesota yall can have those pick swaps you gave us for Dillingham and that kings 2030 pick swap for ANT, and a lightly used De’Aaron Fox kthxbye (jk, I know wolves would never do that,………………… right?)
