Kellan Olson: Kevin Durant described Dikembe Mutombo as an iconic basketball figure. The person Mutombo was reinforced to him how there are genuine, good people around the league. A huge loss. -via Twitter @KellanOlson / September 30, 2024
Three more reasons why the Wolves felt as though they had to act now: 1. Coach Chris Finch worked with Randle as an assistant in New Orleans and knows his game very well after collaborating during Randle’s lone season with the Pelicans … setting Randle up to sign with the Knicks as a better-than-they-ever-dreamed consolation prize once Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving elected to join the Nets instead; 2. Minnesota, league sources say, was the losing finalist to New York in free agency in 2023 when DiVincenzo chose to sign with the Knicks and never stopped wanting the rugged 3-and-D swingman who shot 40.1% from 3-point range last season on one of the league’s best bargain contracts (DDV will earn $11.4 million this season); 3. The Wolves need an infusion of playmaking on a roster that features 37-year-old Mike Conley and rookie Rob Dillingham as the primary point guards … and Randle’s ability to make plays could (stress: could) offset the concerns about his inconsistent long-range shooting and what that might mean for Minnesota’s spacing. -via marcstein.substack.com / September 30, 2024
Magic Johnson: Happy birthday to Kevin Durant! KD is one of my favorite players and people and his mother Wanda, is truly a special lady. He’s one of the best athlete entrepreneurs out there and he, along with his business partner Rich Kleiman, are currently building a business empire. pic.x.com/g6cit6occu -via Twitter @MagicJohnson / September 29, 2024
