Yeah, Bradley and Thibs are made for each other. Bradley-Butler-Gibson is very solid defensive core, capable to bring us some wins by suffocating opponent best players.

Are u all willing to to give up a future first of ours for crowder/Bradley? Alt of Boston fans think it would take something like our 2021 first round pick with dieng

No, you've seen how much the lottery-protected pick owed to Atlanta has hampered the Wolves in the past. I'd rather not make the same mistake.

Not the same value of pick.

OKC verses our own.

Assuming the Wolves reach the playoffs, both will be outside the lottery.

With the team's salary situation, holding on to OKC's pick makes sense. How else can one add inexpensive talent?

The Celtics need to trade Crowder/Bradley, so they're not going to get great value for them.

Atlanta has Minnesota's pick next year.

Monta Ellis or Jamal Crawford?

Jamal Crawford.

He's just plain better, is more of a high character guy and has some connection to Minnesota it seems back from when Zach was on the team and appearing on Wolfson's pod a couple of times. Also a much better 3PT shooter, which is by far our biggest needs right now.

I don't think we want either of those guys. We need someone bigger to pair with Jones or our second unit will get steamrolled.

karch34 · Post #151 » by **karch34** » Thu Jul 6, 2017 9:15 pm

Fine with either. I think Ellis is a little better fit as 3rd PG if needed, but think Crawford has a little more left in the tank.

Jamal has always been a long-time Wolves killer. It would be nice to see him on our side just for that sake.

I have nothing against Monta but I feel like his game has really declined. He was waived because he is likely done. Crawford though? I would love to have his volume scoring on the bench. I believe he has more left and fits our need for spacing better. Seems like he would choose Cleveland over us though, right?

Actually, there was a guy on SC just a little bit ago saying the Wizards were probably a favorite right now. Who knows. Jamal does like MN though.

Says Jamal reached out to LeBron. His choices would be Cavs, Wiz, and Wolves. Cleveland can offer the 5.2 MLE. My bet is he goes chip chasing with Bron

Marco Belinelli? 1 year $6.6 million.

At this point I don't think it matters. The rest of the crop are the same level outside of Miles which will cost a draft pick

prefuse73 · Post #158 » by **prefuse73** » Fri Jul 7, 2017 2:34 am

I think we are now just going to fill in with a bunch a vet mins.

Currently

Towns - Dieng - Aldrich
Gibson - Bjelica - Patton (injured - G league all year)
Butler
Wiggins
Teague - Jones

Let's assume we can't just dump aldrich and we want to keep the pick. With Butler and Wiggins likely getting heavy minutes, we don't need a lot, but it would be nice if they could spot start if needed. I think we need 3 wings and pg. I think Aaron Brooks, Aaron Afflalo, LRMAM, and Gerald Green (or Beacham if he looks good). I would also bring on Burton.

Towns - Dieng - Aldrich
Gibson - Bjelica - Burton
Butler - LRMAM
Wiggins - Afflalo - Green
Teague - Brooks - Jones

Patton (injured and in G-League)

Stretch Aldrich if nobody wants him for free. Give away Bjelica for no return salary...he's not an SF and the Wolves have four better bigs anyways. They can't afford to re-sign him next summer.

Sign Miles with cap space and the next best wing shooter you can for the Room Exception.

Why would we dump Bjelica? And only Towns, Dieng and Gibson are better than Bjelly currently.
