(If there's a season, obv.)
Steve Nash
Reggie Williams
Tayshaun Prince
Marcin Gortat
Andrew Bynum
Bench: Luke Ridnour / Ricky Rubio / Anthony Tolliver / random vets
Coach: Rick Adelman
Without a volume shooter like Black Mamba on the team, Bynum is given complete freedom to show his potential and is the first option on offense. His injury woes are a concern, but the potential reward of a dominant center outweighs the risks.
Marcin Gortat compliments Bynum with his rebounding prowess and ability to hit outside shots. Gives Wolves big, championship sized front court. Really blossomed last season and is underrated, and far better than his salary. Versatile and can play center.
Prince, along with Bynum brings Wolves ~*Championship Experience*~. Can score from anywhere on the court, plays good defense and isn't selfish.
Reggie Williams is underrated and has proven to be a talented offensive player in Golden State.
Nash obv is an elite point guard, who'll also benefit the Wolves by hopefully teaching Rubio how not to be a n00b at PG.
The bench can be filled with random, cheap vets.
Championship contention ahoy!
How it happens:
Trade 1:
Kevin Love / Darko Milicic / Martell Webster for Andrew Bynum
Trade 2:
Derrick Williams / Michael Beasley / Anthony Randolph / Wesley Johnson / Wayne Ellington for Steve Nash / Marcin Gortat / two future first round picks
Free agents:
Reggie Williams / Tayshaun Prince

So... what have you been drinking tonight?
That team is no where near championship contention, let alone even playoff contending.

Lighten up guys, he's not trollin and he's not a fan of any of those teams (at least I don't think anyway)
Trade 1:
Kevin Love / Darko Milicic / Martell Webster for Andrew Bynum
Bynum has played 64% of his games.
Trade 2:
Derrick Williams / Michael Beasley / Anthony Randolph / Wesley Johnson / Wayne Ellington for Steve Nash / Marcin Gortat / two future first round picks
Phoenix can only trade one first round draft pick (Stepian Rule). If I had to break it down, I'd say that Williams and Gortat are somewhat similar in value. Than Minnesota would essentially be trading Beasley, Randolph, and Johnson for Nash and a pick that would probably be heavily protected, which I think is too much and unnecessary considering Minnesota would be trading all it's prospects for a team that already has Rubio and Ridnour.
Free agents:
Reggie Williams / Tayshaun Prince
No guarantee that they will resign here, although you could have said Moute and Battier in addition to Prince to make it seem more likely.

Can trade multiple, just can't be consecutive

This is terrible in so many ways.
Trading a 20/15 guy for a guy with huge question marks on his knees is the most terrible thing I've ever read on realgm.

cpfsf fail. On a related note, I was always under the impression Minnesota could only swap first round draft picks after giving away our pick to LAC.
Are you telling me there's a chance we can land Dwight Howard?

theres 2 2nd round picks (williams/beasley) plus a potential starter in randolph plus wes johnson who just came of a decent rookie season for a old pg who will be on the decline soon enough and a decent starter center in Gorat who probley wont be as good as williams anyway

Trade #1:
Webster, Ridnour, Pekovic, Hayward, and #2 Derrick Williams (~ $18.6)
for
Nash + Gortat (~ $17.5)
Trade #2:
Johnson, Brad Miller, Darko (~ $13.4)
for
Iggy (~ $13.5 )
Sign:
Jason Richardson ($5M - 4 years), Chuck Hayes ($3M - $4 years)
Nash/Rubio
Richardson/Lee/Ellington
Iggy/Beasley/
Love/Randolph/Tolliver

*Obv, if no season, we don't want Nash (FA), and if salary cap comes down we won't have that money.

Just found out that Gortat speaks Serbian. Pekovic and Milicic really do need a new bff.
