Who would they have to give up? Green and DLO? I feel like he’d require a larger yield than that.

Probably just Russell. Given that Minnesota doesn't have bad contracts to dump on them, I wouldn't even want to take Draymond back.

If I were Minny, I'd ask for Russell, Pascall, Poole, Evans, and a three unprotected first rounders over a six year span.

They've got the second worst record in the league right now. Russell and a top-5 pick seems like about as good of a starting point for a deal as anywhere.

Watch the Warriors land KAT and RoCo.

Steph is a good dude so I'd be happy for him to have another championship window.

Maybe we can swing a 3 team trade somehow, Ben to Wolves, Roco and pieces to Warriors and Russel to Philly in the summer. Or Ben for Wiggins lol

Unless Towns is driving himself to Golden State, what's to stop Ainge from trying to get in on this?

I doubt Ainge would pay what it takes to trade him. Part of the reason you usually dont see stars being traded with so many years left in their contract is that 99% the amount of value the team would need to send would make the trade pointless. Much more efficient to trade for a player in his last year and sign him afterwards

Im not sure but i think i posted here back before or early season that gsw will go after KAT. Gsw has learned its way from the Lakers

Specially when Terry Rozier is off the table now

Yeah, that's just the Dubs PR machine reminding everyone they'll be back next year.

What the heck just happened in Washington tonight?

The Heat got blown out in game where all their guys played and the Wizards had no Beal and no Rui.

Jordan McRae with 29
Garrison Matthews with 28
Ian Mahimi with 25
Ish Smith with 19

What a wild game.

How absurd is this TWolves team right now with all the injuries. I’m actually impressed that Naz Reid felt comfortable enough to take 10 threes.

How is Josh Okogie 9th in minutes when they're decimated?

We need to be on the phone with Rosas trying to pry him away. They don't seem to value him.

Also, why are they not using this opportunity to get Jaylen Nowell some looks? He was dropping like 20+ in the G-league. What's the point is playing Napier 30+ minutes and Teague 20 minutes and not seeing more of the young talent?

Devin Booker dropped 33 in a win over Portland without attempting a single three pointer. Impressive.

Jordan Clarkson was such a great pickup for the Jazz. Precisely what that team needed. All it cost was two 2nd rounders? Feels like we should have been in on that.

We do not have a contract similar to what Clarkson is getting now. Utah had to send Exum to match salaries. The closest contract that we have is Richardson.

Did you see all that star power in the Lakers/Suns game?

Three hall of famers in Devin Booker, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis. Four if Dwight gets in. Gotta say, of all the players on the court, Booker looked the best. Danny Green had no answers.
