Trade Talk (Part Five)

[Note30]

Ricky Rubio

for

Spencer Dinwiddie, Nicolas Claxton, Bruce Bowen, and two seconds.

Ricky Rubio + Malik Beasely + Okogie
for Lonzo Ball, JJ Reddick, and Eric Bledsoe + 1 FRP + 1 pick swap

Ball / Bledsoe
DLo / Reddick
Culver / Edwards

Same problem, just more expirings and more vets

wtf. I thought Reddick retired when I was born. And why tf are we stuck with Culver and Edwards? So annoyed with this lately in posts. I don't feel like the team should be carrying all these guys for 4 years to see if they ever realize full potential before trading them. Can't carry 5-6 projects every year unless they are in the Gleague developing. The team just can't support all their minutes.

JJ Reddick - He's expiring.

We're stuck with them because we drafted them. Edwards hasn't even had 20 games yet before you go calling him a bust. Are you insane, what do you mean "STUCK" - we just drafted him. Culver has had one year and hasn't even played 82 games.

They are literally our best prospects. Right now we are playing with a PG running the first unit that doesn't know how to run a team. He's a SG playing PG.

Also literally no one else besides McDaniels is a project - they just suck. We have two newbie players.

We get Ball who's a decent defensive PG that can run the team and Bledsoe a decent bench vet.

Then we get a pick because face it - we're trash and we'd be lucky if Towns doesn't ask for an out in less than a season.

Would y’all do Obi Toppin, Kevin Knox, Frank Ntilikina, Mavs 1st rd pick this year and Mavs 1st rd pick (top 10 protected) in 2023 for D Russ?

Why would you rape your franchise of assets for a player that can be acquired for expiring contracts alone?

Marbury seems like a good career comparison.
He doesnt have what it takes to be a winner on the defensive side and the offense isnt efficient enough to make up for it. Yet, he is paid like a superstar.
Stay away from him if you want to develop a winning team.

Russell has an OFF Rtg of 102.4, DEF Rtg of 119.4 for a NET RATING of -17.1

Yes, he’s been that bad.

I was hoping to bring him back before the season, so I guess it's better late than never. Bjelica is similar to Hernangomez except he's better at every facet of the game. He's basically what we wish Juancho would be.

I'd do Juancho for Belly on March 3rd

[Krapinsky]

Layman and D-Lo for Tobais Harris?

Who says no?

[_AIJ_]

Im ready to move on from DLo. We just cant win with him.

[LesGrossman]

Bring back Bjelica nad let him play his natural game like Jokic

They are literally our best prospects...

I'll stop you there because in my opinion they are not. McDaniels has already shown to be and it didn't take long to do it. This example (25th pick) should show you how stuck on former draft slots you are. I don't frankly care if if they dust the entire roster tomorrow and start from scratch. They are not stuck with anything beyond long term large contracts that take work to move. Overdrafting players or finding out they aren't ready is easily fixed by a few choices. That's what we have the Gleague for, small bench roles for, and or trade them for peanuts. Don't care. Move on. Destroying the value of everyone else on your team just to attempt to babysit longterm prospects at top minutes is the way of the dying franchise known as the Timberwolves. Keep doing that year after year, pick after pick, see how that ever changes.

I saw they were making him available and knew someone would ask for this, just had to find the post. I say no. The team really needs no more players like him at his size/weight/strength/effort ratio. We know this team wouldn't let him play his natural best role anyway. He might look as out of place as Juancho/Layman do this season here and none of it really has to do with what any of them do well.

[perik777]

I think a trade of

Russell, Layman
for
Randle, Ntikilina

works really well

and you have 35 M in expirings for next year with randle and Rubio

[UnFadeable21]

The Sacramento Kings have benched Nemanja Bjelica as they look to build around De'Aaron Fox, sources told Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee.

Bjelica has not played in the last six games after discussions surrounding his playing time.

The team has cited personal issues for his absence, though sources around Bjelica say he has no issues.

The Kings explored trading Bjelica around the draft, looking to add players who fit Fox's timeline.

The Sacramento Bee adds that the team is likely to continue to explore trades for Bjelica.

Any interest in bringing Belly-Pizza back to MN?

After February 21st, can trade Juancho & Layman for him.

Belly loves Minnesota and Rubio. He lived here in the offseason and in Rubio’s house in Uptown.

[Rookie-Mistake]
