I had such high hopes for Shake. He was so good on Philly.

The Timberwolves‘ front office has been scouring the trade market in the hopes of addressing a couple areas of concern on the bench and better positioning the team for a deep postseason run, writes Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic. According to Krawczynski, Minnesota would like to bolster its second unit by adding another ball-handler and/or a scorer or shooter.
Krawczynski confirms a number of previously reported point guard targets for the Wolves, including Tyus Jones and Monte Morris, while also naming Dennis Schröder and Kyle Lowry as a couple more players of interest. Lowry would have to be a buyout target, since Minnesota isn’t in position to match his $29.7MM salary on the trade market.
If the Wolves focus on a scorer rather than a point guard, Alec Burks and Bones Hyland are among the players who could be fits, Krawczynski writes.
Krawczynski doesn’t expect Minnesota to move Kyle Anderson, referring to him as a key part of the team’s defense and an important voice in the locker room. That’s notable, since hanging onto Anderson and their other five highest-paid players (Rudy Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns, Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards, and Naz Reid) would leave the Wolves with no trade chips earning more than $5MM, limiting their ability to salary-match for players earning much beyond the mid-level.

The problem is that he’s been a liability on-ball as well, this season.

I don't see LAL offer a 1st round pick either. So, if reports are somewhat real, likely landing place is MIN. However, can Jones really play in Finch's undisciplined control chaos system?

That being said, I understand some people's frustration on this board with him. His poison pill makes things difficult to trade him, but I'm wondering if Detroit would be willing to part ways with Cade. Cunningham finished #1 based on the moss ratings (LOL).
Would you all go for either of these trades?
1)Jaden and SloMo for Cade
2) Jaden, SloMo, WMJ, and Shake (20.6) for Cade and Burks (21.5)
