Also, what's his face on NBA TV is going to be pissed we didn't trade Williams, a lot of wolves fans too.

Knicks send Ronnie Brewer to Thunder for second-round pick, league source confirms.

Writing on the wall so not a big surprise ... we were not offering much when you consider JJB and Ridnour. They simply aren't going to draw real talent, but maybe could've offered some balance to the roster if we had gotten a serviceable SG.

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.
Ye ... okay captain complacent. Swapping spit will not impact resigning your precious Pek and Bud

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...
Did you actually miss the fact we dont have a SG ??? Take off the goggles.

Wow, we couldn't have parted with a 2nd rounder to get a vet-minimum SG to spell Shved?

I didn't expect Williams to be dealt before the offseason.

That's not the point. You said this roster needs an upgrade. Why I don't disagree with that statement, my point was if this team was healthy, I think we'd be fine.
This team has needed a SG for its entire existence. I think between Shved and Budinger, they could be enough at SG even tho I know Bud is more of a SF.
yes, it'd be nice to acquire a legit starting SG, but I never said we didn't need to make a move. Not once. All my point was your post was a little bit of an overreaction due to so many injuries.

We don't have the roster space...unless you want to cut your boy Johnson.

Happy we still have DWill. He's been playin well and I see his value only rising. Something tells me we won't want to trade him by the time the season ends

Very good that we did not deal Derrick Williams. Poor that we did not do any deal at all.

This is the unofficial tank plan. Refrain from improving the team until the offseason, when we can trade players and draft choices to get more established players, like we tried to do last year. Hopefully next year we don't have so many people break on us.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

Hopefully Redick acclimates himself to the Midwest and joins us in the offseason

Of course not. David Kahn is allergic to making trades.
