Re: Lowe - Timberwolves Still Want D-Russell
I'm not even a big believer of Russell. I think he will be fine but I'm not convinced he is the answer or worth a max. That said, I am just as strongly a beleiver that Wiggins will never be able to live up to his deal. If getting Russell involves dumping Wiggins I am all in. I even like Andrew as a person, I think he's seems like a really cool, kind dude. I try not to bash him or get personal about it. Facts are, he just hasn't been good and in my eyes, he has even regressed. Got to part ways. I wish him the best of luck. That said, if he is here with us for the long run, I'll stil root for him.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

Once Kyrie Irving commits to a deal, Nets are expected to renounce All-Star guard D'Angelo Russell and allow him to become an unrestricted free agent, league sources tell ESPN. Russell led Nets to the playoffs this past season. There's tremendous league-wide interest in Russell.
dont like that last sentence

Once he's renounced there is no loophole still allowing for a sign and trade right? We would have to create the cap space.

Re: Lowe - Timberwolves Still Want D-Russell
Russell doesn't have to be a mega star to be a successful player and aquisition for the max. As long as he can fulfill his point guard duties and be a consistent perimeter threat (something we've sorely lacked), this is a total win.

If he is renounced and we can offer a Max deal, Russell to MIN is a virtual lock due to his relationship with KAT, IMO. Then we just need to find a deal for Booker.

Where you been KAT4PREZ? I think the RoCo injury took the wind out of your sails.

Rumor is if they miss on Kawhi, the Lakers will split their $32M cap space to fill out their roster.

Re: Lowe - Timberwolves Still Want D-Russell
I'm guessing LA is trying to get DLo to accept less than the max since they have zero depth beyond Lebron, AD and Kuzma right now.

Rather have Russel than Wiggins due to Russel's aggressiveness but don't like either

Agreed, at the end of the day I just want Wiggins the hell out of here

If we don't have to give up any other asset other than picks, i'll cry

Raps mods can be sticklers when outsiders venture out of the wasteman thread.
