Bulls it's your call. Cockburn with Wilson would make a great pairing. Still not understanding why he isn't in the league but I think he's a potential double double guy in the NBA.
I could see the Spurs or a team like that picking him up.

Kofi made ~850k (gross) this year. He was the top paid player in the league. The only places that would pay better are NBA, NIL (NCAA), Russian (VTB, SuperLeague), and maybe EuroLeague if he got a near top of league contract.
I think Ware is the most valuable piece the Bucks got tbh.
7 foot tall and long armed 22 year old center that can rim run and knock down an open shot while being a good rebounder and solid rim protector.
Tanking has been immensely devalued so I would guess they keep the hometown kid in Herro and try to build around him as the young guy develop.
They now have Kasparis, Burries, Ament, plus 4 more first round picks coming in the next two years. Then see what they have with those guys and younger guys like Rollins and Ware.
Tre White (Kansas, Wing): Miami Heat, Exhibit-10
This might mean TSJ could be on the move.
Yea.....about this
I think it makes zero sense for Charlotte, as they were just beginning to turn the tide... but oh well.
Dumping Randle to sign Lamelo + Ayo is undoubtedly a net positive for Minnesota.

That's a crowded (and talented) backcourt for Ayo to get time in - let alone TSJ.
Unfortunately…he wasn’t included in the trade. Finch just realized TJ needed the ball in his hands, and now they got a ball dominant PG. Likely no real role there for him.

Can AnT, LaMelo and Ayo all play heavy minutes together?
And totally surprised they didn’t throw TSJ into that trade. Shows they value him.
Not sure I understand this.
Donte D. will be out for the year.
We don't even know their starting 5 yet: Lamelo, Edwards, McDaniel, (hole at the 4), Gobert.
Both Ayo and TSJ are going to be in the top 6.
As an pseudo Timberwolves fan and LaMelo fan, this is huge
LMAO they just traded LaMelo for Naz and 1 first round pick. Charlotte being Charlotte 
Starting 5: Ball, Ayo, Edwards, McD, Gobert
TSJ first man off the bench?
I think it's perfectly reasonable.
They do create 40.7M trade exception, largest in league history.LMAO they just traded LaMelo for Naz and 1 first round pick. Charlotte being Charlotte
Also have the second most 1st round picks in the league.
The swaps seem worthless, because MINN will end up better those years.

I think there’s some bigger Lamelo fans in here than me.
It could be just Charlotte, but I think he’s a loser. Career 41% shooter. Never gets to the line. Makes baffling wreckless plays and you’re on the hook for $43 million a year.
If I’m Charlotte, I want the ball in Kon’s hands more. I also wouldn’t count out those pick swaps being valuable if Edwards decides to leave

For my 2K27 dreams.I hope that the timber wolves give georgie a shot as a bench forward minutes so I could build my super illinois team
It makes sense as a non hornets fan...not having to deal with the Ball family drama seems like a plus and not paying Ball 55M a year with his injury history.
I'd be a bit deflated as Charlotte fan given how they finished the end of the season- "From Jan. 1 to the end of the regular season, the Hornets had the top-ranked offense and fifth-ranked defense."
I don't think Kon's value is as a high volume ball handler, hasn't had higher than 22% usg in college or pros, I think it's more likely that we're about to see a lot more Brandon Miller & Coby White which as a Bulls fan seems ..iffy.
As a wolves fan, I'd probably rather Jaylen Brown.
Charlotte putting together some interesting pieces. Add some size with Weinbach and Reid, along wit Christian Anderson to Kon, Miller, Bridges. Don know if they’ll bring Coby White back.
I'm just so hoping for a LAC vs MINN playoff series next year.
