Critical extension for the Thunder to lock in Wallace ahead of restricted free agency next summer -- now having their starting five all under contract for several years. Wallace led the NBA in total steals and deflections last season and has ranked third in steals per game in each of the last 2 seasons, per ESPN Research. He now steps into a starting role with a new extension.

The early-mid 90s NBA was defined by promising young cores breaking up way too soon. This was a big one.

Another Jon K. classic. Love this quote from Tim Connelly about how he sees his job. nytimes.com/athletic/7685060…
Jon Krawczynski@JonKrawczynskiOct 14
Since he arrived in Minnesota, no executive has been more active than Tim Connelly. Fueled by Baltimore swagger and Catholic guilt, he has remade the Wolves over and over in pursuit of the title he left behind in Denver. (Free read) nytimes.com/athletic/7685060…

Tim Connelly’s aggression as a risk-taker fuels new ambition with the Timberwolves (Gift Article)

"One of the few upticks of having a team that doesn’t have the proudest history is you shouldn’t be afraid to swing," Connelly said.

I hope I look really stupid with this in a few weeks but through 3.5 preseason games, I am concerned about Ant's athleticism. He has shown no burst or lift yet this preseason. He's not getting by the defender and it doesn't look like he can elevate, especially not quickly.

anyway, this has been enough preseason basketball. Let's wrap it up and start counting wins and losses.

random thought: how come these guys can play hard (almost real-game intensity?) in preseason but not the all-star game

Duren is dunking out here like Neon Boudeax.

Duren almost dunked Joan right through the basket.

Ant's making "bad" turnovers, as his have always tended to be. Not really doing anything potentially productive when the ball's being coughed up.

I can't tell if Trey Lyles can play for real or not, and I don't think anybody will know until the games matter.

With LaMelo here, Ant has the opportunity to pace himself throughout games and take over down the stretch, in a classic go-to guy sort of way. We all hope he embraces this.
