*It's tough to make too much of one game out of 162 in an MLB season, but the Twins pulling out Thursday's game in extra innings while walking an intentional walk tightrope felt, at least, important. Picking in the mid-to-high-teens or low 20s is a likely outcome in 2024 after a 2023 season with Cousins at QB - making it harder to draft his successor. The other thing of note: Cousins elicits a lot of different opinions, but even his detractors would note that he has a "high floor" and that the Vikings should at least be near. The who and the what are largely irrelevant at this point, but two things are good to remember:īecause the Vikings didn't spend a high pick on Kirk Cousins' successor this year, we will be talking about QB speculation for many, many months now - either until Cousins signs an extension or the Vikings go a different route. The ESPN draft guru imagines the Vikings will be picking 20th and that they will take Michigan QB J.J. And no, he doesn't really like to do it). *Todd McShay's 2024 NFL mock draft is already out (yes, really. These are all just opinions, of course, but they carry some weight considering the stature of the players, the complicated offseason ahead and the connection Garnett still obviously feels to Minnesota. Pierce wants the Wolves to move away from Rudy Gobert - a tall order considering the price they paid to get him a year ago. Garnett doesn't like the lineup with two big men. Garnett thought the Wolves leaned too heavily on Anderson at times and put him in positions where he was less likely to succeed.īoth Pierce and Garnett continued to mention Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns as superstars the Wolves need to build around.
Regarding basketball matters, Garnett had an interesting take about Kyle Anderson, the do-it-all forward who was integral to the Wolves' success this season.
The dialogue started with Pierce saying (and not delicately) that the Wolves messed up by not including KG in their new ownership group when he was interested a couple years ago.Įven though he has plenty of personal history, Garnett mostly took the high road - looking forward by complimenting Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez and praising their vision for not just the franchise but what it means to the city.
