A little birdie says the Timberwolves have received word from Ricky Rubio's family that he's open to signing with them for next season — if there is a season.
to make room and make him comfortable i offer this.
To TOR: Flynn + Biedrins
To GSW: Ridnour + J.Johnson + #18
To MIN: #11 (Vesley) + Calderon
then
To TOR: Bell
To GSW: TE + conditional 2nd (wont ever see it)
the way i see it is Biedrins value is = to Calderon even though id rather have Jose but their contracts are the same. Johnson/Flynn i also think is close and pretty even. Now if MIN wanted Johnson then maybe that could work?
Wolves get up into the lotto and pick someone like Vesley at the SF spot and grab Kanter/Val with their pick. Calderon is Rubios spanish teammate and will make him comfortable
Warriors move down but save 9 million and over 20 million in total. They grab a nice prospect like JJ and Ridnour gives them a nice 3rd guard to help ease the minutes off Ellis
Flynn / Bayless / Bell
Derozan / Barbosa
Barnes (#4) / Klezia / Weems
Davis / Johnson
Bargnani / Biedrins / Alabi
i like that team. We have 12.7 million in expiring contracts too (Bell + Barbosa) to make a move at the deadline.
Curry / Ridnour / Lin
Ellis / Hamilton / Williams
Wright / Johnson / Thorton
Lee / Udoh
C / Amundson
* have 20 million in cap space after this deal.
Calderon / Rubio (until hes ready)
Johnson / Webster / Ellington
Beasley / Vesley / Hayward
Love / Randolph / Tolliver
Kanter / Darko / Pekovic
