Mike Conley back with Wolves two weeks after being traded

Mike Conley is returning to the Minnesota Timberwolves two weeks after he was traded away in a deadline move, the team announced Tuesday. The Wolves traded Conley to the Chicago Bulls in a three-team deal as a way to shed the remaining amount of the veteran point guard's $10 million salary for this season. The Bulls subsequently moved Conley to the Charlotte Hornets, who eventually waived him. Because he was traded a second time before being waived, Conley was free to sign back with Minnesota.

The killings in Minneapolis of Renee Good and Alex Pretti have been compared to the murder of George Floyd, because they all happened within a few miles of one another, and because of the outrage they inspired. There's an important difference, though: In 2020 the United States was in turmoil, but it was still a state of law. Floyd's death was followed by investigation, trial, and verdict-by justice. The Minneapolis Police Department was held accountable and ultimately made to reform.
