On today's show, Dane is joined by Britt Robson of MinnPost to recap the Timberwolves swirling draft night and the swirl of rumors surrounding D'Angelo Russell. Dane and Britt start by discussing the approach Tim Connelly and the revamped front office took to the draft, and from there get in to the players they ultimately wound up with. The focus begins with Walker Kessler, the Wolves top pick on Thursday. The discussion is not exclusively about Kessler as a player but also about how this seems to signal a new view of how to build out the frontcourt around Karl-Anthony Towns. Wendell Moore Jr. is next up. A high character, high work-ethic player that really seems to fit Tim Connelly's style in Denver. Also some discussion on Josh Minott, who seems to be the upside swing of the draft. Finally, some more D'Angelo Russell discussion. Obviously some discussion on the rumors surround DLo, but also on his fit on this team as they begin to play a different style of game from last season.

The Minnesota Timberwolves entered the 2022 NBA Draft with 4 picks to be used. Those picks were picks 19, 40, 48, and 50. As the night went on, there wasn't much action in the top 10 of the draft. Then, things started to get moving. Minnesota ended up the night with four players being selected, but the path was not as straightforward as it may sound. The Wolves did not use any of their first three picks, but rather did a slew of trades to eventually end up with selections 22, 26, 45, and 50. Hosts Brendan Hedtke and Doug West are here to break down the picks and give their quick reactions on the latest episode of Bleav in Timberwolves. Here is a quick synopsis of the night: With their first pick, Minnesota took Auburn Center Walker Kessler. Kessler was certainly not a fan favorite, but does fill a number of holes in a Timberwolves team that lacks size, rim protection, and rebounding. Kessler was the 2021-22 National Defensive Player of the Year and averaged over 4 blocks per game at Auburn. Next, the Wolves found themselves with the 26th pick. They used this slot to select Duke wing Wendell Moore Jr. Moore played three seasons for the Blue Devils and Coach K. He improved each year and looks to be a potential 3-and-D type player in the NBA. He is slightly undersized as a wing, standing 6-foot-5, but he makes up for that with his strength and wingspan, which stretches over 7 feet. He also is a solid playmaker, which might be his best skill. In the second round, the Wolves traded back from pick 40 to pick 45 to collect some future draft capital. They ended up taking Josh Minott with that selection. Minott is a great athlete and plays with a ton of energy at 6-foot-9, but his offensive game is nearly a blank slate. There will be a lot to do on that side of the ball before he sniffs rotation minutes. Finally, the Timberwolves took Matteo Spagnolo from Italy at #50. Spagnolo will likely be a draft-and-stash player for a year or two. He's been dubbed the “Italian Ricky Rubio” due to his finesse playmaking. He has also shown to be a solid shooter, but lacks a lot of athleticism and defensive prowess.

Kyle and Julian discuss the Wolves' 2022 NBA Draft and the moves new POB Tim Connelly made. 

Introduction: Host Michael Rand, with the help of Star Tribune beat writer Chris Hine, takes an in-depth look at Thursday's NBA Draft. Did the Wolves and new personnel boss Tim Connelly, after a lot of wheeling and dealing, end up in a good spot with No. 22 pick Walker Kessler and No. 26 pick Wendell Moore? Time will tell, but they certainly addressed a need with Kessler's size and rebounding ability. 15:00: The Twins avoided a bullpen meltdown, albeit narrowly, in an important win over Cleveland. One day after the teams combined for 21 runs in a crushing Twins loss, Minnesota scored the only run in a 1-0 win. 20:00: The Lynx might be on the upswing again, while Loons fans are mad about the Adrian Heath contract extension. Plus putting a bow on the NBA and looking ahead to D'Angelo Russell and free agency for the Wolves.

The Minnesota Timberwolves pulled off a total of four draft night trades, including trading back from No. 19 while adding an additional first-round pick. The Wolves selected Auburn center Walker Kessler at No. 22 and Duke wing Wendell Moore Jr. at No. 26. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the trades, the fit for both Kessler and Moore on the Wolves' roster, and what the draft might tell us about the approach for the rest of the offseason. Also, Tim Connelly took a high-upside swing in the second round with Memphis forward Josh Minott, as well as a draft-and-stash in Italian guard Matteo Spagnolo. Learn more about your ad choices.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand gives some of his own thoughts on the impact of Title IX, the sweeping anti-discrimination legislation signed into law 50 years ago today. You'll also hear excellent perspectives from three highly successful women athletes: Paralympian Mallory Weggemann, hockey legend Natalie Darwitz and Olympic gold medal skier Jessie Diggins. 21:00: The Twins fell out of first place with a gut-punch loss to Cleveland, losing two big leads and allowing a four-run ninth inning in an 11-10 loss. Manager Rocco Baldelli called it "unsatisfying," which is a supreme understatement. 25:00: The NBA Draft is finally upon us Thursday. What will the Wolves do with the No. 19 pick? You'll hear from personnel boss Tim Connelly as he provides insights into the process.

What will the Minnesota Timberwolves do in today's 2022 NBA Draft? There are plenty of rumors, including trading up, trading back or out, or swapping the pick for a current NBA player. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the newest rumors, as well as the most likely possibilities for the Wolves, including the final Locked On Wolves Draft Big Board.

In today's show we discuss topics from Rudy Gobert trades, the Sacramento Kings, Atlanta Hawk, and all the way to where Halifac, Nova Scotia is. Sources have also said the Sixers are looking to make a three-team trade that could involve Matisse Thybulle and the No. 23 pick to create space. Sources have said the Sixers are attempting to trade Tobias Harris, but they are having a tough time getting teams to take on his lucrative contract. Timberwolves into Rudy Gobert, Clint Capela? Kevin O'Connor: I've heard Minnesota likes Rudy Gobert. They also like Clint Capela. Despite the Nets and Kyrie Irving hitting an impasse in their talks, both sides are still working to find a happy medium in Brooklyn rather than an exit strategy it. Or as a source told The Post “what's good for both [sides].” According to ESPN's NBA guru Brian Windhorst, the Hornets are not only looking at the prospect of sending Hayward packing. They also have two first-round picks in the upcoming draft, and it appears that they may use them as leverage in a potential deal An NBA show brought to you by Cyro Asseo & Wil Upton, regarding every facet of the NBA.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand takes no pleasure in reporting that the Twins have relinquished sole possession of first place in the American League Central for the first time in almost two months. They took over that top spot on April 24, but on Tuesday a late Cleveland rally for a 6-5 win in 11 innings pushed the Guardians into a tie with Minnesota atop the division standings. 7:00: Star Tribune columnist La Velle E. Neal III joins the show to express just how much he wants the Timberwolves to find a way to draft Duke center Mark Williams. Plus Rand and Neal debate the idea of which Minnesota athlete will be most loved by fans over the next 10 years. 32:00: A tough break for the Gophers men's basketball team and a much-needed win for the Lynx.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are reportedly calling around the league with interest in adding a frontline center to the roster and are more than open to playing Karl-Anthony Towns at the 4 more frequently. Beyond Clint Capela, what other names are possibilities? What about Utah Jazz superstar Rudy Gobert? If the Wolves go a more traditional route, is Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant an option?

In today' show we discuss all the NBA rumors and then discuss our NBA mock draft. Rival executives expect Hornets restricted free agent Miles Bridges to command a maximum — or near-max — deal in July, and sources said there's hesitancy from Charlotte to match a max sheet. Bridges had a breakout season in 2021-22, averaging 20.2 points, seven rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. Bridges' two-way ability on the wing has become incredibly valued toward winning. Atlanta Hawks free-agent guard Lou Williams intends to continue his playing career, his agent Wallace Prather says. Williams, a 17-year veteran, averaged 6.3 points and 14.3 minutes a game over 56 contests this past season.

With the Stanley Cup Final starting last night, what can the Wild learn from the Avalanche and Lightning to get to that stage in the future? Darren ‘Doogie' Wolfson joins Mackey and Judd to run through his notebook and discuss his latest scoops on the Timberwolves and more!

Introduction: Twins pitcher Sonny Gray returned from injury and looked he hadn't missed a step, throwing five shutout innings in a 5-0 Twins win over Seattle. The Twins did well to maintain their first place standing in the AL Central while Gray and other key pitchers were out, but now that they are getting healthy it might be time to do some real damage. 7:00: Star Tribune Timberwolves beat writer Chris Hine joins host Michael Rand for a look ahead to the NBA Draft, which is one week from today. Who will the Wolves target at No. 19? What will they do with their three second-round picks? How will things be run differently now that Tim Connelly is in charge? 28:00: The NHL Finals caught up to the NBA Finals, giving you some great viewing options.

The Minnesota Timberwolves will likely draft a plug-and-play rotation piece at No. 19 in the 2022 NBA Draft, but if one of the higher-upside athletes falls, would Tim Connelly and the new-look front office take a swing? Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) talks draft philosophy and prospects Jalen Duren and Ousmane Dieng and whether or not either one of those players would fit the Wolves' roster immediately.

The Minnesota Timberwolves may not pick until the No. 19 selection in the 2022 NBA Draft, but there are plenty of wings and versatile forwards on the board. Could they consider moving up a few spots to grab a perfect fit such as LSU's Tari Eason? Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down why Eason is such a tantalizing prospect, as well as a couple of guards who could be in play if they slide out of the top 10.

Join Ross and guest, Darren "Doogie" Wolfson, from KSTP Channel 5 in the Twin Cities for a little Minnesota Twins and Timberwolves talk... Will the Twins make a move for another starter? Are the Timberwolves really "shopping" D-Lo? Plus, Doogie takes another stab at 5 Phil'er Questions. 

Former Minnesota Timberwolves Andrew Wiggins and the Golden State Warriors are a win away from the NBA Title; D'Angelo Russell is being mention around on NBA Trade rumors; What can Timberwolves learn from the Golden State Warriors; (34:00) Twins pecking order of 17 best pitchers?; Minnesota Twins pitching pecking order! Judd ranks 17 of the “best” pitchers on the Twins;

Introduction: The two biggest fair criticisms of Andrew Wiggins when he was with the Timberwolves were his inconsistency and his tendency to shrink from big moments. But he is having a terrific NBA Finals for Golden State, including a 26-point, 13-rebound performance in Monday's critical Game 5 win that put the Warriors one game away from another championship. 6:00: Star Tribune Twins beat writer Phil Miller joins the show with some insights into the first-place Twins and how they keep winning. He pointed to the series win over Toronto -- which had the potential to turn particularly bad with several unvaccinated players missing -- as a big key to their season so far, and he had good news for fans regarding two of the Twins' best pitchers. 28:00: Ryan Saunders is heading back to the NBA, reportedly as a Denver assistant.
