The tweet is from NBA central & it's within the article detailing the Warriors building up their assets currently & are monitoring KATs situation in the Timberwolves.
This could mean nothing but its worth noting the Timberwolves have lost 12 of their last 13-games after the decent start.
The Timberwolves have been missing towns for the last few games & have gone on to lose 5/6 games without KAT.
The wolves are 25th in ESPN power rankings w a record of 11-24 & are 27th in the CBS power rankings, falling behind the Knicks(wow), Cavs & Pistons
Edit:
It's means executives around the league believe that KAT is unhappy nothing is confirmed but given what we know of the Wolves record, the plausible belief is there.
Personally not a fan. I thought they might've at least innovated or made some changes to the format, but no.

Hey. This writeup is going to be split into a few categories, with a TL;DR at the bottom if you don't want to read all of it.
DIRECT STAT COMPARISON
Key: * denotes leader of all rookies in category
LaMelo Ball: 18.57 PER, 14.7 ppg*, 6.0 ast*, 6.0 reb, 1.5 stl*, .3 blk, 2.6 TO*, 27.4 mpg, 44.4 FG%, 79.7 FT%, 35.7 3P%
Among these rookies: 2nd in PER, 1st in PPG, 1st in AST, 1st in REB, 1st in STL, tied for 2nd in BLK, 4th in TO, 2nd in MPG, 2nd in FG%, 4th in FT%, 3rd in 3P%
Tyrese Haliburton: 17.68 PER, 12.1 ppg, 5.4 ast, 3.6 reb, 1.2 stl, .7 blk, 1.6 TO, 29.4 mpg, 49.6 FG%, 87.7% FT, 44.8 3P%
Among these rookies: 3rd in PER, 3rd in PPG, 2nd in AST, 2nd in REB, 2nd in STL, tied for 2nd in BLK, 3rd in TO, 1st in MPG, 1st in FG%, 2nd in FT%, 1st in 3P%
Immanuel Quickley: 18.86 PER*, 12.4 ppg, 2.6 ast, 2.4 reb, .4 stl, .3 blk, 1.0 TO, 19.2 mpg, 41.2 FG%, 94.1 FT%, 37.1 3P%
Among these rookies: 1st in PER, 2nd in PPG, 3rd in AST, 4th in REB, 4th in STL, tied for 2nd in BLK, 1st in TO, 4th in MPG, 3rd in FG%, 1st in FT%, 2nd in 3P%
Anthony Edwards: 10.51 PER, 14.2 ppg, 2.2 ast, 3.4 reb, .7 stl, .3 blk, 1.5 TO, 27.3 mpg, 38.3 FG%, 80.8 FT%, 32.4 3P%
Among these rookies: 4th in PER, 2nd in PPG, 4th in AST, 3rd in REB, 3rd in STL, tied for 2nd in BLK, 2nd in TO, 3rd in MPG, 4th in FG%, 3rd in FT%, 4th in 3P%
Summary: LaMelo is the clear frontrunner here so far, but Quickley with more minutes or Haliburton with more scoring could easily surpass him. Edwards seems to be a distant 4th in the race at this point.
Minutes per game sidenote: Immanuel Quickley is getting SIGNIFICANTLY less minutes than Haliburton and Ball, with Quickley getting just 19.3, Ball getting 27.3, and Haliburton getting 29.3. Gonna bleed my Knicks colors here for a second and say that it's super impressive Quickley even has a case with 8-10 less minutes than his peers.
NARRATIVE/EYE TEST
LaMelo Ball: CLEAR LEADER SO FAR. Huge media attention because of Ball association, has made the Hornets fun to watch again, could lead them to the playoffs for the first time in a while... also has a lot of media momentum at this point in the season due to the flashy nature of his play.
Immanuel Quickley: Huge media attention because of Knicks association, beloved rookie for the first time in a while for Knicks fans, huge surprise at the 25th pick, could lead Knicks to the playoffs for the first time in a LONG time and has given the franchis

I've got a really solid run going but I'm almost 70 and Olga hasn't popped out a baby, I know she's over 45 but I thought there was an event where she gave birth.
MELO IS BACK BABY!
He just needed some time with NBA trainers and NBA conditioning before he could get back into basketball shape. Tonight he actually contributed to a win instead of contributing to a loss. Glad to see him successful again.
The game seems to be quite good with a lot of interesting decisions to make. It's got great components and setting is also in a new part of the world that's not explored by board games. Everything seems all right except that there's hardly any buzz for the game. Not even a review from Dice Tower if I'm right.
Has anyone here played this game!? Any views or thoughts please?

In case you were ever interested in Dr. Fauci's scouting report:
>Classic point guard, excellent ballhandler, pesky defender. Six of his classmates and teammates described him as a tenacious competitor in short shorts and striped socks whose feistiness on the court defied some parts of his personality and reflected others.
Perhaps not surprising, but he was your typical first in last out, scrappy, high IQ, high motor gym rat. Just played the game the right way
>Monday's win over HOU was RJ Barrett's 50th career start. Per @bball_ref, Barrett is one of only five teenagers in NBA history to tally at least 700 points, 200 rebs and 100 dimes in their first 50 starts. The other four are LeBron, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony & Luka Doncic
Good company to be in if I do say so myself
Also, his eFG% is higher than LeBron as a rookie and just short of Melo & Kevin Durant's 1st years.
