Cool, the Knicks just called, they said they'd give up Porzingis for Rudez.
Oh, and Howard, Wade and Durant are all signing here for the vet min.

Wiggins + #5 is a nice start.

Hes not worth it. I legit think Davis is a top five player but he might play two more seasons before he ruptures something in his knee and then disappears greg oden style

This whole debate of trading #5, LaVine & Dieng for Butler is still a hot topic on Twitter. One of the Wolf Among Wolves writers even wrote a 2,500-word post on it.

Come on, now we don't want to trade for Anthony Davis? The Wolves have competed one year for a championship in their entire history, then someone tells you you can pair two generational talents together who could play together for at least a decade. and you say nah he might get injured.

I am starting to believe that Jimmie Buttler is a mix of MJ and Russel Westbrook!
#5 , Lavine and Dieng?? Is that enough or we have to give One of Wiggins and Towns??

Butler was #30 in the draft. Why to give #5 and Lavine for him? He is 25 and he is just a good player nothing more.

Here's an idea. Let's keep our young guys and picks and sign a top free agent next summer.

Speaks more about Thibs than Butler really.

I think I dreamt about this idea this afternoon. Not sure though, because I woke up and KFAN was talking about the same type of stuff, so maybe I was just hearing the KFAN stuff. But I could've sworn Thibs was in the room, and so was Caron Butler for some odd reason.

Butler, Noah, etc., came up, as well as what to do with the 5. Now I'll have to find the KFAN podcast and see if that sounds familiar...

The ideal trade would be to get either an All star level PF to put next to KAT or a knock down shooter at the 2. I am more than fine with sticking with the pick and putting another young guy in the mix.
