The Minnesota Timberwolves Sign CJ Elleby & Luka Garza

The Minnesota Timberwolves Sign CJ Elleby & Luka Garza

Featured

by | Aug 24, 2022 | Featured, NBA

The Minnesota Timberwolves signed CJ Elleby and Luka Garza to the roster on Tuesday. CJ played in Portland and was able to showcase some talent with extended minutes. Down the stretch of the NBA season last year CJ stepped up big time for the Trail Blazers and was able to display his raw talent. CJ started 28 of the last 30 games for Portland and made the best of the situation that was in front of him. One thing about CJ he has a smooth jumper and he can definitely slash to the basket.

 

Elleby can be a great addition to this team as they’re looking to build some depth around the Big 4 (Towns, Gobert, Russell, Edwards) that Minnesota has now established. Elleby just needs the opportunity and Minnesota can be that spot that brings out the best in his abilities. During the 2021-2022 season, CJ Elleby scored his career-high 17 points against the New Orleans Pelicans. That was a prime example of how things can be with the Timberwolves when given the chance to play with extended minutes.

 

 

 

Luka Garza has been impactful since stepping foot in the NBA. He finally has a chance to play for a Minnesota team that can utilize his talents. This is a perfect fit for Luka to get a chance to help this Timberwolves frontcourt, especially with the second unit. Last season Luka Garza played for the Motor City Cruise last season and averaged 20.6 PPG and 9.5 REB. Luka Garza’s career high in points is 20 and he had that three times in his career.

 

Garza showed a lot of promise in his rookie year and he made his name in the NBA Summer League where he looked unstoppable. Now Luka will need to make that same impact in the NBA season with Minnesota. The Timberwolves will give Luka a chance to help bolster the bench and he can dominate on the boards. This was a great signing and the Timberwolves giving Garza an opportunity to showcase his talent is all that he needs to make the final roster after training camp.

Kevin Durant, Brooklyn Nets (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

Kevin Durant, Brooklyn Nets (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

Featured

by | Aug 21, 2022 | Featured, NBA, SneakerReporter Top 10 PE Series

In my humble opinion, Kevin Durant’s the best player in the NBA, and I’m not scared to let it be known. From covering KD in person back in Oklahoma City to watching him emerge as the best scorer even after an Achilles injury. Kevin Durant has been the best offensive scorer in the NBA and it’s not even close. The things that this man can do on the court are unmatched and he’s utterly un-guardable regarding his skill set. KD has the one-legged jumper in his arsenal, his quick crossover, and he can pull up from anywhere on the court with his towering wingspan. In 55 games this season Kevin Durant averaged 29.9 PPG, 7.4 REB, and 6.4 AST on the Brooklyn Nets. Any team that KD gets on automatically makes them a title contender and he will give you a chance to get far.

 

This season the Brooklyn Nets didn’t get out of the first round against the Boston Celtics but Kevin Durant still showed that he was the best player in the series by getting double-teamed/triple-teamed at times. It wasn’t the way that KD wanted the season to end but it was a small bump in the road as he continues his quest to get another championship. This offseason has been crazy with Kevin Durant demanding a trade from the Brooklyn Nets so it will be interesting to see how this works out during the offseason. Any team in the NBA would want KD in their uniform and if I’m a GM I’m doing whatever it takes to get EasyMoneySniper in my jersey. If you have a chance to get a once-in-a-lifetime talent you have to do anything and I mean anything to make it happen.

 

 

Kevin Durant’s one of the faces of Nike Basketball and he’s one of 4 players to have over 10 silhouettes in his career. He joined Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James. Kevin played in the Nike KD14/Nike KD 15 last season in Brooklyn and his 15th sneaker has a lot of the potential to be one of the best in his line. This season we will see KD lace the Nike 15 up on the court and we will be looking forward to the player exclusives that he rocks.

James Harden’s one of the best scorers in NBA History. This year in Philly he was able to put on for the city with the help of Joel Embiid. James Harden has one of the best stepback jumpers in NBA History and his euro step is unreal. The way that he creates his own offense is definitely at the top of the game. James Harden averaged 22 PPG, 7.7 RPG, and 10.3 APG with Brooklyn/Philly. It’s crazy how James was able to adapt to any situation thrown at him during this season. James Harden has been a true professional and he’s been the ultimate teammate for Maxey, Embiid, etc. During the offseason, James Harden signed a (2-year/ $68.6M) to stay with the Philadelphia 76ers.

 

Harden showed Philly that he doesn’t mind taking the pay cut to be able to build something special. James Harden’s just missing an NBA Championship on his resume and this year the 76ers feel like this can be a championship season. Harden has elevated his game every season since he’s been in the league and has proven he’s an elite talent. Harden and Embiid can have something special this season if they can get it together during the playoffs.

 

 

James Harden is one of the handfuls of players with a sneaker deal on Adidas. This year he was balling out with the Adidas Harden Vol. 6 when he was in Brooklyn/Philly. You can tell that Adidas wanted to step up their player exclusives for Harden this year and it definitely showed on the court. A lot of the player exclusives he rocked this season would have been crazy if they were released to the public.

Featured

by | Aug 11, 2022 | Featured, NBA, Sneaker Releases, Sneakers

Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler has his very own signature sneaker with the Li-Ning brand coming soon. Butler signed a deal with Li-Ning in 2020 following his Finals appearance against the Los Angeles Lakers.

 

Butler has been one of the most notable players in the league the past couple seasons and has drawn a lot of attention to the Miami Heat. It’s no wonder Li-Ning wanted to give Butler his own signature sneaker since becoming a superstar in the league.

 

While no technology details have been revealed on the JB 1, it is inspired by his love of sports cars and wildlife according to Nick DePaula. One shoe can be seen in a “Miami Vice” themed colorway and the other in a simple orange and black colorway.

 

According to Nick DePaula the JB 1 signature sneaker is expected to release towards the end of August. Stay tuned for release updates.
