This team needs more structured leadership at PG. That has a lot to do with why the offense falls apart. Wall isn't getting traded so we need to bring in a back up PG with experience who plays a structured game. Would be great if they had some 3 range as well.
Anyone out there ?
Luke Ridnour fits that bill. Good structure, very good outside shooter, reasonable contract for a back-up, and MIN may be willing to trade him too, since Barea can mentor Rubio.
Agreed. Luke Ridnour is a guy I'd be interested in if the price is right. He's got a fairly hefty contract for his ability, so I don't think it would take that much to get him. But he's better than hot garbage so I don't thik Minnesota would just give him away for nothing either. Crawford plus a 2nd rounder seems about right. Might have to include Seraphin or Mason to make the salaries match.

Johnson has been labeled a "bust" by a lot of people but I think he can easily turn it around. I remember loving him at Syracuse and thinking he was going to be a good player. Ridnour is the steady hand we need behind Wall who can also shoot. Turiaf brings what he was suppose to bring here in Washington and Young is the starting two-guard the Timberwolves need. I don't know if draft picks, or cash, or whatever needs to be swapped one way or the other but I think it is a good premise. Thoughts?
