In this corner you have Al Jefferson, recently coming off of a serious injury, but slowly working back into his double double ways in a new offense not suited to his strengths.
In this corner you have Greg Oden. Injured for the better part of the past 4 years. Out for this season, and probably most of next season as well. By the time he's 100% back from injury it's time to reup him and he has yet to be proven reliable for a whole season.
MN IN: Oden, Fernandez, Outlaw, Holiday??
MN Out: Al, Sessions, Utah pick
POR IN: Al, Kapono, Sessions, Utah pick, Holiday??
POR out: Oden, Fernandez, Outlaw, Miller
PHI in: Miller
PHI out: Holiday, Kapono
MN defers current talent for the chance at a former #1 pick who can't stay healthy & a SG who is stuck behind Roy. Outlaw is filler injured expiring, but could provide some solid time after he heals. Wanted to send Gomes to portland, but meh.
POR gets win now talent. Sick starting 5!

PHI gets a PG that knows the system and personel. He won't be happy

In 2 years MN could look like this...
Oden
Love
Turner
Fernandez
Rubio
Plus MN clears and additional 10m in cap space. Giving us ~20m. We give Pekovic ~7m and next season. Sign a FA SF, Gay?
