Taylor wasn’t quite speaking in Comic Sans there, but closer than he had to be. — Punch-Drunk Wolves (@PDWolves) August 26, 2014 “It was more like KG tanked it. I think the other guys still wanted to play. But…

Patrick J: So Flip Saunders went and did the impossible, turning a depressing Kevin Love trade situation into an extremely exciting one that netted the Wolves the last two number one overall picks in the NBA Draft, Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett.…

We’ve been “officially” waiting for Wiggins for 29 days now, but it’s really been longer than that. The very moment that the Cavs won the draft lottery, they entered the Kevin Love Sweepstakes. In all seriousness, the Cavs probably just…

Patience is a big part of this Waiting for Wiggins, thirty-day period of time. It is required of the teams involved, as well as their fans and media. Patience, or, more accurately, IMpatience, is also a big reason why I…

I suppose one of these posts should be about Kevin Love. He is the centerpiece of the Wiggins trade after all; at least in one direction. Love is also the second greatest player in Timberwolves franchise history and one of…

I’m laughing out loud, reading this story out of Toronto. Link here. Hat tip to William Bohl for tweeting that link, last night. Before the dust has been able to settle on Woj’s bomb yesterday — the one reporting the…

Cleveland, then Miami, always LeBron James reporter Brian Windhorst was on the BS Report podcast yesterday, with Bill Simmons. Link: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/b-s-report-brian-windhorst-plus-a-transcript-of-brian-and-bill-on-a-possible-midseason-nba-tournament/ At about the 25-minute mark, Windhorst digs into (well, strongly hints at) the Kevin Love-to-Cleveland process and timeline. Give…

As the reports of a Love-for-Wiggins trade framework continue to flood in, we are beginning to learn more about the rumored details on the fringe of the deal. Specifically, it was being floated by local beat reporters yesterday that the…

Today is the eleventh day of Waiting for Wiggins, and if Adam Silver is paying any attention at all to this ongoing storyline, it should be the last one. The commish, who already showed off his executive-power chops in dealing…

On Monday I linked a David Aldridge column about the rise of Canadian basketball; specifically in the number of Division 1 and NBA prospects hailing from Canadian cities like Toronto. Today, I have to link to a fantastic Grantland feature…

One week down, three more to go. I had a fairly long post drafted last night for Day 6, but decided to scrap it. It was about tanking. “Riggin’ for Wiggins,” as the concept was (ironically, in hindsight) referred to,…

Okay, not every one of these can be [even partially] about Andrew Wiggins. Not much new has happened on the Love-Wiggins front. Which is a good thing. Everybody assumes that Love for Wiggins is a done deal and only less…

If yesterday’s podcast was an end around having to write something new every day for 30 straight days, then today’s link to a David Aldridge column is in downright Throwaway Post territory. In any event, DA wrote a great piece…

Coming up with 30 different writing topics for 30 consecutive days is going to be a challenge. With that in mind, I’m going to seek inspiration and help from my stack of basketball books. Today, I skimmed my highlights from…

In case you missed it, the Cavaliers signed their (and the league’s) top draft choice, Andrew Wiggins. The ink was spilled on Thursday, and almost every report makes quick mention of the fact that the signing triggered the 30-day countdown…

Bill Simmons posted a doozy on Grantland today right before lunch on the merits of a trade involving Kevin Love to Cleveland for a package centered around this year’s #1 overall pick, Andrew Wiggins. All of Grantland’s NBA hitters weighed…

Andy G: So, LeBron made another Decision. He’s going home to Cleveland; a decision that many in the media began to expect a few days ago. He wrote a great letter explaining everything, published by Sports Illustrated yesterday. It…
