I'm skeptical it'll work but I give the Wolves credit. They saw that OKC and San Antonio were clearly ahead of them and they made drastic moves to try and catch up.

The Lakers say rookie Cameron Carr will wear No. 43 this season.

Sparks say Kelsey Plum is out with a lower left leg injury. She will be re-evaluated in four weeks. Kelsey Plum was clearly hurt during their last game. She kept adding tape to that leg every quarter and was limping heavily postgame. Hopefully, this time out will get her body back to full health.

Here’s a quick video on why tonight's selection of Cameron Carr is a sign the Lakers are heading in the right direction.

"The selection of Carr acknowledges that the franchise is aware of its weaknesses and is working to address them.... When the moment came, they paid the Knicks and moved up in the draft to get their guy." Story below on the newest Laker: www.silverscreenandroll.com/lakers-analy...

I mentioned Cameron Carr as a player I liked the Lakers to take in this draft. LA's backcourt just got better and deeper.

Cameron Carr is who I'd like the Lakers to select at No. 25

I really liked Zuby Ejiofor for the Lakers. He's a Hawk now.

The Thunder keep getting away with it.

To open up a roster spot to sign Williams, the Sparks waived forward Sania Feagin.

The Sparks have signed Kiana Williams. Here’s Sparks General Manager Raegan Pebley's statement on the move. “We’re excited to add Kiana to our roster. She is a consummate professional whose work ethic, basketball IQ and passing ability will strengthen our group and add depth to our guard position.”

An utterly gorgeous speech. It brought tears to my eyes.
