Over the past few weeks, they’ve added Deandre Ayton and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/lakers-news-marcus-smart-intends-sign-la-wizards-buyout">recently signed Marcus Smart</a> after he was bought out by the Washington Wizards.</p><p>Apparently, the Lakers have been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/siegels-scoop-nba-intel-chris-paul-bradley-beal-marcus-smart-deals" rel="noopener">on the phone fielding calls</a> for a few players around the league, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.</p><p>“After fielding calls for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope when they first traded for him with the Orlando Magic, the Grizzlies have not seen any real conversations materialize for the veteran shooting guard,” Siegel wrote. “The Lakers were a team that spoke with Memphis about KCP after their Desmond Bane trade, sources said.</p><p>“Los Angeles also reached out to the Minnesota Timberwolves about Donte DiVincenzo’s availability, but the Wolves were not interested at all, sources said.”</p><p>Caldwell-Pope would be a familiar face for the Lakers, as he was a part of the team that won the championship in 2021, defeating the Miami Heat in the bubble. He has always been a solid 3-and-D player and would have fit in perfectly with the Lakers now.</p><p>DiVincenzo would have been a nice fit for the Lakers as well, but after the Timberwolves lost Nickeil Alexander-Walker in free agency, they may feel he is a little more valuable on the team.</p><h2><b>Lakers still trying to add to roster</b></h2><p>The Lakers know they have to keep adding to their roster if they want to compete with some of the best in the Western Conference. It sounds like they are still trying to shore up their guard depth, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers/lakers-rumors-la-interested-malcolm-brogdon-but-theres-catch">Malcolm Brogdon is a player</a> they seem to be interested in.</p><p>“The Lakers now have 14 players under contract for the 2025-26 season and are just over $1 million from the first-apron tax line,” Siegel wrote. “While the Lakers could pursue other veterans still available in free agency with their final roster spot, they would first need to free up space to do so.</p><p>“(Malcolm) Brogdon, a player Los Angeles expressed trade interest in before the 2025 NBA trade deadline, remains on their radar should the team free up extra funds in a small consolidation trade.”</p><p>Adding Smart could be the beginning of more moves down the line for the Lakers, and it looks like players such as Dalton Knecht and Gabe Vincent will be on the trade block so they can improve the team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The ball slid through Green’s legs, allowing DiVincenzo to retrieve it. Green then reached up, grabbed DiVincenzo akin to a rear-naked choke, and yanked him down to the floor. Despite the <a href="https://www.twitter.com/CourtsideBuzzX/status/1922130252634976310" rel="noopener">physical nature of the play</a>, no foul was assessed, leaving many stunned by the no-call.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Draymond Green went for the rear-naked choke — MMA style — when going for the ball with Donte DiVincenzo 😂🥊</p><p>Follow <a href="https://twitter.com/CombatBuzzX?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CombatBuzzX</a> for more MMA content! <a href="https://t.co/WxI6qOAUfo">pic.twitter.com/WxI6qOAUfo</a></p><p>— Courtside Buzz (@CourtsideBuzzX) <a href="https://twitter.com/CourtsideBuzzX/status/1922130252634976310?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 13, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Green has already racked up two flagrant fouls and five technicals in the playoffs, including one for elbowing Naz Reid in a previous matchup against the Timberwolves. Given that track record, he was fortunate the first-half incident didn’t earn him another whistle.</p><p>In what felt like a must-win Game 4, the Golden State Warriors struggled without their engine, falling 117-110 to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Chase Center. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-stephen-curry-game-5-injury-update-timberwolves">With Steph Curry still out</a>, the Warriors have now dropped three straight and are staring down a do-or-die Game 5 on the road in Minnesota</p><h2><b>The Timberwolves subdue the Warriors</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Warriors-Draymond-Green-Timberwolves-Donte-DiVincenzo.jpg"><figcaption>Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>After a rough outing in Game 3, Draymond Green came out with purpose in Game 4. He attacked the boards with intensity, pushed the tempo from the jump, and took on a more active role as a ball handler—possibly aiming to ease the burden on Jimmy Butler III, who appeared worn down late in the previous contest.</p><p>In the Warriors’ two home losses, the team’s downfall was tied to the struggles of one of their key All-Star veterans. With Curry sidelined, Green and Butler were tasked with stepping up to keep Golden State afloat. While Butler came through in Game 3, Green had his worst showing of the series. However, in Game 4, Green rose to the occasion, while Butler appeared disengaged, likely still fatigued from his heavy workload in the previous game.</p><p>Despite Green’s solid performance, Butler’s concerningly passive effort stood out, as he only managed 14 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists on just 9 field-goal attempts, resulting in a game-worst -30 plus/minus. Green’s shooting dipped in the second half, but he still made an impact, taking 14 shots and finishing with 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists.</p><p>Whether it was due to age, injury, or off-court issues, Butler and Green couldn’t rise to the occasion for two straight games at home. Buddy Hield had an uninspiring performance, and Gary Payton II, along with the other young players not named Kuminga, seemed hesitant and unwilling to take shots.</p><p>Both teams will get a day off before heading to Minnesota for Game 5, where the Timberwolves will enter as the clear favorites to finish off the Warriors’ season. Curry is scheduled for a reevaluation ahead of Wednesday’s game, but it’s uncertain if he’ll be cleared to play.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Anthony Edwards and company were a mess on Tuesday. After riding high off a phenomenal series against the Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota looked like a completely different team last night.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/minnesota-timberwolves/timberwolves-news-hit-embarrassing-low-point-in-first-half-vs-warriors">Timberwolves </a><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/minnesota-timberwolves/timberwolves-news-hit-embarrassing-low-point-in-first-half-vs-warriors" rel="noopener">scored an abysmal 31 points</a> in the first half and could not mount a credible comeback, with Warriors star guard <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-stephen-curry-limps-locker-room-game-1-timberwolves">Stephen Curry leaving the game injured</a>. Golden State won 99-88, and head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/minnesota-timberwolves/timberwolves-news-chris-finch-anthony-edwards-game-1-loss-warriors">Chris Finch was subsequently furious</a> with his team’s performance. DiVincenzo, who’s been disappointing offensively this playoff run so far, <a href="https://x.com/JonKrawczynski/status/1920198597150192077" rel="noopener">echoed that sentiment</a> in a postgame interview.</p><p>“We weren’t ready and played like sh%%. We need to respond on Thursday.”</p><h2><b>The Timberwolves have all their goals ahead of them, but need to respond on Thursday</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Anthony-Edwards_650131.jpg"><figcaption>Bruce Kluckhohn-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>This Game 1 performance was another example of the franchise struggling in the Anthony Edwards era when expectations are placed on them. Minnesota has been phenomenal over the past few years as the hunter. Chris Finch’s team has knocked out numerous title contenders and looked like a serious threat more than a couple of times. However, when the public seems to acknowledge how great this team can be, it has a recent history of wilting. Such was the case when the Timberwolves entered the Conference Finals last season as the favorite over the Dallas Mavericks.</p><p>That being said, Anthony Edwards is still a very young best player on a contending team, and some of these growing pains are expected. But this team, including Donte DiVincenzo, needs to answer the bell on Thursday night. The former <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/timberwolves-finalizing-shocking-karl-anthony-towns-trade-with-knicks">NBA champion was brought to Minnesota</a> in a blockbuster trade for these kinds of games. DiVincenzo was the second leading scorer in the postseason on a competitive Knicks team last year. While Donte doesn’t necessarily need to average 18 points per game, 8 points on less than 30% shooting from the field, and less than 20% shooting from three-point range is not going to cut it.</p><p>Donte knows he has to be better and has a track record of rising to the occasion when his back is against the wall. Overall, it’s a long series, and now <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-stephen-curry-limps-locker-room-game-1-timberwolves">Stephen Curry is expected to miss multiple games</a> with his injury. Minnesota can work its way back into this series, but it cannot take any game or possession for granted. The Timberwolves have a lot of doubters to prove wrong again.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
