JUNE 24: The two future picks the Rockets are receiving in the trade are the Timberwolves’ own 2025 and 2027 second-rounders, according to Jonathan Feigen of The Houston Chronicle. The deal is now official, according to a press release from the Wolves.
JUNE 23: The Rockets are rerouting the first-round pick they’re acquiring from the Mavericks in the Christian Wood deal to the Timberwolves, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets. Duke guard Wendell Moore, who was chosen at No. 26, is thus headed to Minnesota.
Houston is receiving the No. 29 pick in this year’s draft, plus two future second-rounders, Wojnarowski reports in another tweet. The Rockets used that first-rounder to select Kentucky guard TyTy Washington.
Moore averaged 13.5 PPG, 5.4 RPG and 4.6 APG for the Blue Devils. Washington averaged 12.5 PPG and 3.9 APG for the Wildcats.
Good from both sides. Washington is a great get for the rockets and they get additional picks in the future.
TWolves get Moore who I really like but I don’t think for them is the best fit. They desperately need to trade Dlo and get a good 4.
Beverly Ant Moore … KAT
Julius Randle would be terrific
Really good draft for Minny. They got a lot better defensively (so did OKC) with Kessler & WMoore. Now all they gotta do is add an elite shooter by shipping out D’lo for Kennard & Twin to have this squad ready to win some playoff series in the west
So who is Tim “Monty Hall” Connelly going to sign as a UDFA, or with the loaded squad he has, will he be standing pat. BTW, I told you the Timberpuppies have no idea WHAT to do with SECOND ROUND PICKS !!
