Summary

On today’s show, Dane is joined by Jace Frederick from the Pioneer Press to discuss the recent report of the Wolves’ interest in trading for Mike Conley, and how a Conley-for-D’Angelo Russell swap could salvage the DLo Salary Slot we’ve been talking about. Also related to Conley, Dane and Jace go through Rudy Gobert and Conley’s three years together in Utah, detailing how chemistry took a few years to develop, as illustrated by Utah’s offense steadily improving year-over-year. Additionally, Dane and Jace get into Walker Kessler, both through the lens of Kessler’s impact on Monday night against the Wolves and through the lens of how this Wolves team would be in a different place had they not traded Kessler for Gobert.
