Lowe - Timberwolves Still Want D-Russell

Not worried about the Lakers tbh. If he wants to go back to the team that snaked him, and be put under a microscope every game, more power to him. He will absolutely be the first person they blame if they struggle.

Honestly, if this is already set up in place, we should be starting to hear leaks soon. As in who is getting traded and to where. Rosas may actually be playing this close to the vest so other teams do not have enough heads up to get out in front of them.

Lakers are just trying to set up a meeting through his representation. Nowhere does it say that Russell even wants to meet with them. Either way, he's coming here first which means that he has interest in being here. That is one of the 3 requirements. Now for the other 2, nets need to sign Irving, they are meeting with him tomorrow, and wolves/nets need to agree on a sign and trade

I am more interested in hearing the trades we have set up, than if we are going to sign DLO. I can't believe that none of this has been leaked, or even a hint at who is being traded to where and for what.

Me too...

My guess is teague and one of okogie or Culver along with a pick going somewhere

Timberwolves
Russell

Nets
Pick(s)

Third team
Teague
Okogie or Culver

Way too much. I doubt Culver is traded.

I'm not sure that I agree, especially if it is 2nd round picks going out. Teague is a really expensive expiring and one of okogie or Culver wouldn't be tough to be without. Teague, okogie and picks or teague, Culver and picks doesn't seem like too much for a 23 year old point guard of his caliber. If this is all we did, we have a solid lineup. I think I would rather them trade Culver than okogie though.

No way in hell would they trade up in the draft and not pick a pg...

No one knows what Rosas is thinking. Especially not us. For all we know he just drafted Culver because he was the bpa and thus had a higher trade value.

No way, much rather have Okoge go than Culver. Okoge is a great hustle player who may develop a consistent 3pt shot. Culver's potential is much higher.

Wiggins is going to be traded, but I wouldn't be surprised if Teague and Dieng are moved as well, and we go after Harris.

I wouldn't count on Wiggins getting traded. I hope he does..

A lineup of Russell, Wiggins, Roco, Harris, towns would be expensive but fun

Culver is not getting traded. Not in this deal, not likely in any deal.

Lol. Culver is not getting traded. There is no need to trade him to accomplish our aims. It is a MASSIVE overpay. Get over the idea it is not realistic.

Doesn't matter if they are or not. It wouldn't take Culver to move Teauge that is an MASSIVE overpay. And like I said unrealistic.

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.

I finally gave up on Wigs last December but i still have moments that creep in that the kid will blow up one day into a player. If he only played with passion.....

It helps me to read what you wrote to keep me from doubting.

I don't like D'Lo at the max but I like Wigs there far less.

i don't know how in hell they do it without losing valuable assets but if they can minimize the cost I'm all in.

Teague alone isn't enough salary to get Russell here. Plus it does matter because that is basically what you are doing, trading teague and okogie/Culver for russell

But if that 3rd team will only do it if it is teague and Culver, do you say no to Russell?
