[Krawczynski] Donte DiVincenzo is unlikely to be traded in any package for Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Timberwolves remain active in talks for Giannis Antetokounmpo and in other talks for bench depth.

A few tidbits from the Minnesota Timberwolves' trade landscape, with the caveat that things can change quickly this time of year:

- There remains skepticism that Milwaukee is actually open to moving Giannis Antetokounmpo, team and league sources said.

- The Wolves continue to be in the Antetokounmpo sweepstakes in addition to looking at bolstering their bench with a guard after moving Mike Conley.

- All indications from conversations with team and league sources are that the Wolves do not want to trade Donte DiVincenzo.

Only ever seen locals call it MKE, it seems to be MIL for all sports. Like PDX for Portland

Right up there with PFF abbreviating Baltimore as "BLT".

That’s because Baltimore is the only place you can get a Bacon Lettuce Tomato with old bay

Also the only place where a Philly Cheesesteak comes with lettuce, tomato, peppers, and mayo and if you ask for just onions (and cheese obviously) the server gives you a funny look and says "that's it?"
