Sure thing, here’s a version that leans into a more human touch:
—
Alright, so there’s this former Minnesota Timberwolves guy, Jesse Edwards. He’s off to play with Melbourne United down under in the NBL. I’m thinking, “why Australia?” But hey, maybe he just loves kangaroos or something. Last year, he was kinda bouncing back and forth with the Timberwolves on a two-way contract – sounds like juggling, doesn’t it?
He did decent in the G League. I mean, in 34 games he averaged like 11.9 points. Not too shabby! Oh, and 7.5 rebounds with 1.8 blocks per game. Those blocks, though. Imagine being 7 feet tall and swatting the ball like it’s a pesky fly. Anyway – or wait, where was I? Oh yeah, college stuff. He played for Syracuse and West Virginia. There’s something about those college days, right? Maybe it’s the pizza. Or the vibe.
I heard Minnesota’s keeping this guy Tristen Newton on another two-way gig. And they’re adding Enrique Freeman too. Hold up, they just drafted Rocco Zikarsky and signed him to a two-year deal as well. With so many names flying around, it’s kinda like assembling a basketball Avengers team. Or not—who knows?
Sometimes, when I think about it, these contract deals feel like a game of musical chairs. Who sits where? The suspense! So, Jesse’s off to Oz, and we’re here trying to keep track of who’s who.
Does any of this make basketball more exciting? No clue, but hey, it’s part of the sport, right?
