The Roy signing was a huge mistake. Enormous fail.



Could have tried to sign OJ Mayo instead on a nice 2 year deal but noooooooo, we didn't even make an attempt.

You would have to waive Amundson. If you can buyout Roy for less than his contract than Taylor saves $$.

From all the reports that I read of people that cover the Wolves, they did not make any serious offer for Mayo or even a very valid attempt

Serious offer in whose eyes though? When free agency started, the reports were that he was looking for 8-10m a year I believe, which was well over what he deserved at that point. That's why he didn't sign until later in free agency.

at the time of his signing, just about everyone saw Mayo as a questionable 3pt shooter who was very much not a PG, hardly played defense and may or may not have had a bad attitude. I may be over simplifying this, but boy was a chucker with question marks.

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=aa36nbc
5. Pau Gasol, Lakers
Contract: $19M this season, $19.3M in 2013-14

The deal: Trade Machine


Gasol
The Lakers simply don't have any options left to salvage their season. Yes, the price tag on a 32-year-old injured center with $38 million remaining on his contract might be only slightly north of "free," but this is their only hope at this point. That is, if we truly believe that Dwight Howard is off the market.

The smart thing for the Lakers might be to just ride it out and re-evaluate in the offseason, but if they want to get something for Gasol, time is running out. Minnesota could be an intriguing trade partner if the Lakers are willing to absorb Brandon Roy to get Derrick Williams -- not to mention it would make Ricky Rubio and Gasol NBA teammates at last.

my god why am i an insider? definitely not resubbing...their writers are absolute hacks and seemingly know absolutely NOTHING about the nba. yeah cause brandon roy's remaining probably 2.5 million is gonna give the lakers HUGE reservations about shipping out injured, old 30+ million earning pau gasol SMFH :nonono: .

Roy's contract was 2 years 10 million. OJ Mayo's was 2 years $8.5 million

Mayo wasn't initially asking for that. Like I said, he was looking for 8-10m a year.

Darren Wolfson ‏@DarrenWolfson

I'm sure Kahn is talking trade w/ lots of teams, but one for sure according to two league people: the #Knicks. Not sure of any particulars.


Darren Wolfson ‏@DarrenWolfson

That's who I think. #Twolves made him an offer in the summer. He chose NY instead. RT ‏@SportingGoose @DarrenWolfson Ronnie Brewer possibly?

Would be stoked if we offered a package for Shumpert.

I wouldn't be overly excited about either Brewer or Shumpert right now. So far this year, they both have fewer points than field goal attempts, and neither has gotten to the line at a very good rate. Shumpert, at least, has been making his 3s (41% with nearly half of his attempts being 3s), but he's been bad inside the 3 point line 33.8 FG%. He's got the ACL excuse like Rubio does, though. Brewer, on the other hand, has no excuse for his 36.8 FG% and 31 3pt% (again, almost half of his attempts have been 3s), and he has even less of an excuse for shooting 41% from the free throw line.

I wouldn't say no to either as long as they come relatively cheap (Stiemsma or Ridnour) since they'd both help our D quite a bit, but neither will help our poor shooting, which is the team's biggest problem right now.

I would guess it is a simple Amundson for Brewer swap.

Why would you want Ronnie? He clearly doesn't want to be here, to the point that he left a sizable sum of money on the table.

Amundson's already been released.


Also, I don't remember, but could we have even gone after Mayo this offseason? I thought he signed while we were still in pursuit of Batum and thus had all of our cap space tied up. Roy was only signed after that was all cleared up and Mayo was no longer available (again fuzzy on this, so I could easily be wrong).

Edit:

I really don't get this, either. It would make sense if Brewer was tearing it up in New York but not getting any playing time due to all their other talent on the wings, but he hasn't been tearing it up. He's been playing like crap.

Totally forgot he got released, man I have gone full tank mode. Have not even paid attention lately.

Well here is to hoping we make a move for Shumpert.

Brewer would certainly be an upgrade defensively as he could help AK in guarding the wings but offensively he's atrocious and just adds to the team's misery

Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
