We are a very medioscre team ... anyone who does not think we need to aggressivley be looking to make changes are completely out of the loop. Playoffs or no playoffs - who gives a flying #$&% ?? We need to upgrade our roster at any window of opportunity. I dont care if it's C.Lee we get or not, but we need a SG ... not an upgrade, but a SG. If we make JJB expendable ... super, cause he can't stay healthy anyway. The $$ Lee is making is good money, but not something that cannot be managed.

Think the Bucks trade Ellis now to free up playing time for Redick? There was already rumors of Mil moving Jennings or Ellis.

That's a crowded backcourt now with Jennings, Ellis and Redick.

Settle down. I want to make a trade too, but a smart one. You have to remember we need to have enough salary flex to resign Pek and Buddinger in the offseason.

Kind of off topic, and I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I really miss Malcolm Lee. I wanted to see what he could do next to Rubio. He wasn't the best offensive option by any means obviously, but a Lee/Rubio backcourt would wreak havoc on defense.

Well, looks like we have to look to the summer for trades.

I agree. I think Lee is underrated and hated by Wolves fan for no apparent reason. He'll be a solid SG for us for years. Not starting material, but he's solid.

I don't agree with that.

I think there is plenty of talent on this team. But it'd be tough for ANY team to deal with this amount of injuries.

Our projected starting 5 hasn't played one second together. Take out Roy, and our predicted starting 5 of Rubio/Ridnour/AK/Love/Pek has played less than 5 minutes together all season.

Imagine the Heat playing without LeBron and Wade for most of the season, or the Thunder without KD and Westbrook for most of the season...

I guess Ayon is officially a journeyman now in his 2nd season.

Outside of dumping Barea for an exp, I'm not even mad. Stand pat and look forward to the draft/off-season.
