I come in peace and don't mean to offend anybody. I don't know how highly you guys value some of these pieces so forgive my ignorance.

Essentially,

Wolves get:
Andrew Bogut (11 Mil)
Brandon Jennings (2.3 Mil)

Wolves give:
#1 pick
Luke Ridnour (4 Mil)
Darko Milicic (4.3 Mil)
Lazar Haywood (1 Mil)
Nikola Pekovic (4.3 Mil)

Wolves lineup:
Bogut
Love
Beasley
Johnson/Webster
Jennings

Why for the Wolves: Move forward with Bogut, Love, Beasley, Jennings. Bogut instantly shores up the defense, and he and Love make the best rebounding duo in the league.

Why for the Bucks: Kyrie Irving

This might be part of a 3 way with the Magic so if you want anything from them (other than Dwight and Nelson) let me know.

This is about where I'd place the value. Bogut is a very good player, but he has had injury issues, has the contract, and he doesn't draw fans since he's not a superstar. I personally do not value that more than the ticket-selling power of the first pick in the draft.

We'd need to move Jennings to a third team, but I'd do this deal.

Gentlemen, please... let's us be dignified.

Bucksfans - some might argue you're giving up the best two players in this deal. Aaaaand whilst we Woofie fans would like Bogut and Jennings, I don't think it's realistic from your side, honestly.

This must be a trick, he must have forgot to add Maggette + Gooden.

The plan is to rebuild and send Maggette and Gooden to the Magic. Plus Irving would replace Jennings anyway. Find a way to ditch Salmons and maybe we can finally do the necessary rebuild

Yes, please.

Wolves throw in a complimentary 6' tall Jonny Flynn Bobble-Hands Doll. It has a really nice smile, you're kids will love it.

With the "pay the pick" deal, I could see the TWolves version of "Squad 6" being enormous. Bogut could theoretically buy 8000 upper bowl tickets at $1-4 a piece to have 8000 crazed lunatic Timberwolf fans at every game. Now we just need to find 8000 crazed lunatic Timberwolf fans....

This could be a decent draw though - getting a little excitement in the Target Center.

Bogut? Bah, Taylor must show his money and get Marc Gasol (> Bogut.) . He is FA(R), but if Taylor make a good offer, Grizzlies haven't salary space enough.

I'd prefer that to giving up a #1 pick, but all of our money is locked into 4 and 5 mil contracts for bottom of the rotation players

It might be too good for the Wolves.

Would you swap:

Webster for Hayward and add-in Brockman?
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=3p87edk

#1, Memphis' pick, Darko, Webster, Pekovic, Ridnour for Bogut, Jennings, Brockman

Minnesota saves a couple million and can flip Jennings/Flynn to a third team for perhaps a top pick to get Biyombo? Then add in a FA guard, throw money at Afflalo. Or use whatever we get for Jennings to flip for Iggy.

Rubio/?
Johnson/Ellington
Beasley/?
Love/Randolph/Tolliver
Bogut/Biyombo

Irving/Ridnour
Salmons/Webster
Maggette/Delfino
Gooden/Illyasova
Darko/Pekovic

we should keep Jennings for the surprise kick in the balls for Rubio when he finally comes over

I would think a Bogut trade would come with one of their bad contracts too. Maggette, Gooden, Salmons...take your pick, really.
