Good thing we still have Rudy.

And when he rests? Has foul trouble? Or needs a few games off?

So your answer is Randle?

I just want a legit backup center, preferably a younger one that could be molded after Rudy

My question is why IND let him go? IND now have massive problems at C

You want someone to take minutes away from Naz?

If Naz can't protect the paint and defensive rebound at a high rate at the 5 position, then yes

If I understand correctly the nearest FRP DEN have is 2031. MPJ has 35mil, which is comparable with Randle. Cameron Johnson has been playing well this season, but he is not a positive defender, but so is MPJ. Schroeder (expiring contract) was playing well for BRO, was traded for two SRPs.

I've seen way too many outlets suggesting that the wolves should attempt to bring back Butler.

Too many outlets never learned the apron rules, or understand how the MIN fanbase feels about Butler.

And why do we need another SG/SF anyway?

Even KG and PP talked about it.

Naz is more of a SF than he is a C.

Naz is more of a SF than he is a C.

It was the rare case, when Finch was trying to find minutes last season between Gobert, Towns, Reid and Anderson. Naz recent defensive improvement as help defender, rim protector suggests that he is more a C than a SF.

Because all teams have to make decisions for their future based on the aprons, it's not just Minnesota making these decisions like some people seem to think.

I need a bigger sample to decide if that's true.

Naz's game is very much that of a wing.

What team realistically wants Randle? Genuine question as I'm not a trade guy.

His trade value is way lower than Towns.
Teams possible: PHI, MIA, DAL, LAC, IND, ALT, MEM, BKN, CHI, OKC, HOU, ORL, DET
teams that may be interested: MIA, ALT, BKN, CHI, OKC, HOU, ORL, DET
Salary match:?
Trade match:?
May take some very creative 3 team trades to make it happen

Great question. As of right now, probably no one.

An "expiring" that doesn’t want to buy into the wolves culture...

Just a dude now that plays basketball at an NBA level, but not worth paying based upon previous accolades.

Maybe we can get Leonard F*cking Miller some minutes at the 4 to see what we have before we do anything. If Miller is ready to give some minutes behind Naz my wants for a Randle trade change

If we had a decent backup c, there is no need to worry about backup pf without randle.

If Miller can be the backup 4, and Randle could land us a PG and C I would be happy. Preferably a starting PG, but at least a solid one.
