Orlando Magic Could Target Minnesota Timberwolves Guard
The offseason has already begun for the Minnesota Timberwolves. After their Game 5 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, it immediately became time for Chris Finch to turn the page. This summer is a critical one with multiple key storylines to watch. Maybe most importantly is just how different things will look as Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez take over as owners. That process now has a late-June timeline, and will be quickly followed by the NBA Draft (June 25th) and free agency (June 30th). Advertisement Of course Tim Connelly, should he return as team president, also has to make multiple roster decisions. Insider suggests Nickeil Alexander-Walker a fit for Orlando Magic Last week local insider Darren 'Doogie' Wolfson outlined a blueprint for a trio of Minnesota Timberwolves free agents. Of the Naz Reid, Julius Randle, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker group, it was NAW that he sees as certainly gone. NBA Insider Marc Stein tied the Timberwolves guard to the Orlando Magic. 'Next season's full midlevel exception will be worth more than three times what Alexander-Walker made last season at $14.1 million … with rumbles already in circulation that Orlando is a team to watch as a potential suitor.' Marc Stein – The Stein Line That full midlevel exception is the same value that Wolfson alluded to him having done everything in his power to earn. NAW spent time with both New Orleans and Utah before truly blossoming in Minnesota. Advertisement Orlando finished with a 41-41 record this past season. They made the playoffs as the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference. The Magic won just a single game against the defending champion Boston Celtics in the first round. NAW represents another starting option to pair with Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, and Jalen Suggs. Alexander-Walker was a bench player for Chris Finch's Minnesota Timberwolves, but he has become one of the premier perimeter defenders across the NBA. The 6'5″ shooting guard averaged 9.4 points per game this season. His 43.8% shooting was bested by only the 43.9% he shot a year ago. Obviously it was his cousin Shai Gilgeous-Alexander that drew all of the major headlines in the Western Conference Finals. Alexader-Walker's 23 point outing in Game 4 was quite a statement though. It was a postseason career-best across 37 total games.

He should make well over that amount annually, and the total figure should be a handsome sum for the 26-year-old. The Minnesota Timberwolves are largely expected to stay out of the bidding process for Alexander-Walker. They'll need to replace his minutes with another capable bench player. They are also looking for a creator that can operate as a solid point guard alongside Anthony Edwards. Related Headlines

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hit the smoothest shot over his cousin in the WCF
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hit the smoothest shot over his cousin in the WCF We've all had that one moment with the basketball in the backyard. It's you against your cousin or sibling, going at it one-on-one for the championship. What championship? Nobody knows, really. You're just playing ball. And, if you win, you get bragging rights until the next day when you do it all over again. You can just picture the moment in your head now. You've got the ball. Your cousin plays up on you pretty tightly — you're probably getting fouled, honestly, but whatever. You're imagining the clock winding down and putting up that last shot to win the game. You probably bricked the shot, but who cares? You had a good time. And, best of all, you got to spend time with the homie. That's what matters in the end. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nickeil Alexander-Walker got to live out that scenario in real life on one of the biggest stages the NBA has to offer. BELIEVE IN THE THUNDER: Here are three reasons why OKC will advance to the NBA Finals The two got a chance to go at it during the Western Conference Finals. Shai got a sweet bucket on cuzzo right here. These two have probably had moments just like this so many times growing up together. They played on the same basketball teams growing up until SGA went to college at Kentucky in 2017 and NAW went to Virginia Tech. Shai said he felt a bit bad about having to play his cousin in the Western Conference Finals because of how close they are, but he certainly didn't show any mercy on that jumper. That's probably a bit of revenge for the trash talk NAW gave him in the group chat. It's all good, though. Alexander-Walker got a bit of revenge a few plays later when this foul got overturned and Shai ended up on the ground. This is such a fun matchup to watch. These two will have a lot to talk about over the summer, no matter how this series ends.

Wholesaler association says impending tariffs may worsen inflation
The National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors (NAW) has expressed concerns over President Donald Trump's impending tariffs – set to go into effect on Wednesday. On March 26, Trump signed an executive order imposing 25% tariffs for all cars, light-duty trucks and certain auto parts imported into the U.S. These tariffs, along with a wider array of additional tariffs are planned for Wednesday. A recent news release from the industry trade association highlighted potential negative impacts tariffs may have on the supply chain and U.S. economy. While NAW acknowledged the president's efforts to boost the economy, it warned that continued tariffs on key trading partners like Canada and Mexico could lead to significant cash flow issues and disruptions for association said tariffs 'divert valuable capital away from critical investments in hiring, wages, training, and expansion – the very factors that drive economic growth and support American workers.' 'Additionally, tariff-induced disruptions risk exacerbating inflation, increasing the cost of essential goods, and placing financial strain on businesses and consumers alike,' NAW stated. 'As negotiations continue, NAW encourages President Trump to consider these economic realities and pursue policies that enhance American competitiveness while maintaining affordability and financial flexibility for the companies that power our economy.' NAW, founded in 1946, represents the $8.2 trillion wholesale distribution industry that employs over 6 million workers across the U.S. and accounts for one-third of U.S. post Wholesaler association says impending tariffs may worsen inflation appeared first on FreightWaves.
