Dlo and a sign and trade Josh Okogie for Russel Westbrook and the Lakers 27 FRP unprotected as well as a protected 2029 FRP?

I think the value is great, so I’d definitely do it, but trading value for future picks is suddenly the opposite direction of where we want to go. I think one pick is all LAL would offer, and it wouldn’t be fully unprotected for a guy like DLo.

What's it matter at this point? Flip a coin.

Our long-term future isn't stable and the only way out is through. If we want to be a dumping ground what damage can it really do?

Kessler had zero potential to be as good as Rudy. I think Rudy's a total game changer. We have the right parts to go with him. We could be title contenders. We gave up a ****, but if we win a title nobody will care.


KGdaBom I love you my friend: are you mental training me with these posts ... ahahahahah please continue!

Honestly I don't know if we did the right thing, but I also don't know if we did the wrong thing. Only time will tell. Anybody who acts like they know this was a great or horrible deal is full of ......... :o

I choose to look at the positive.

It's a reckless move. I feel as if Wolves kept adding a future first each time Utah said no.

That could be true. We will never know.

Yes but Kyrie Irving is literally forcing a trade to the Lakers so no chance Lakers accepts.

Great move- Only player I hate giving up is BEV! Get excited we are finally a top 4 team in the west...... Great day to be a wolf backer!!!!!! The rest of the players given up are not players on a title contender. We are just used to being terrible so we think some of these guys are better than they are!

Why are posters not understanding that because the picks should be late first rounders, there is no guarantee they will be. Again, Brooklyn fans said the exact same things when the Nets traded for Harden. How does that look now?
My point is that we couldn't hit on the picks in the lottery anyway so it is good to go for it! Nothing is guaranteed!!!!!!

*Yawn* enough of the boring trades. It's D'Angelo Russell for Kyrie Irving time.

Seriously though, Minnesota is probably done after this bombshell.

Oh, for sure there will be action in free-agency! For trades, I would be surprised if Minnesota has any more major bombshells, though. If Tim Connelly pulls off another trade, the forum might implode. :lol:

Trade Naz for a big PF or a back up PG?

Does it matter?

Either would be third string (behind Russell and JMac at PG, Towns and Anderson at PF).

I agree, but just can’t count on everybody to be healthy all the time.

Nate Knight? There's actually a good amount of solid centers on the market for the minimum, where there's not much at all for PG's.

I offer vet minimum to Austin Rivers and Moses Brown. Just can't see us trading more unless it's DLo

I’ve been sitting on two Naz trade idea that I like for different reasons and can’t decide how close they are/if they work…
1.) Jalen McDaniels+2nd for Naz
2.) Tre Jones for Naz+2nd(s)
Rest in peace Mamba. There'll never be another Kobe.
