Lowe - Timberwolves Still Want D-Russell

[Nick K]

We wouldn't have drafted Culver if Trading Wiggins wasn't already the plan. HE GONE! Wish him well and hope he becomes a superstar.

Yep....That was my first thought. Culver makes him expendable.

The sad part is Wigs COULD turn into a major star! The odds are against it but the odds are beaten every day.

That's the very reason I don't want to give up significant assets to move him.

Well to become a major star you got to have Heart, Skill and Work Ethic, Wigs has none of the above. He just has raw athletic ability and nothing else. If he just put on 20 lbs of muscle he would be a major plus player simply by driving to the basket. He gets constantly stripped on drives due to lack of strenth.

Therein lies the rub.......can he develop that past age 24? 24 is still very young. I have a bad feeling he blows up.

I understand moving him though.

A young all star, ideal in the pace and space era, and put up some numbers last year. Yet every team that needs a pg upgrade are going away from him except us and the suns?

Who else needs a pg upgrade?

Phoenix might have interest, but if I were Russell this would be the last organization to sign with.

PHI can offer almost ideal fit for Russell with Embiid and Simmons at PG. But Embiid health and Simmons shot can scare Russell.

If LAC can get Kawhi without Kyrie and without KD then LAC might offer Russell a deal.

LAL is a complete mess as organization but from market prospective they are hard to beat.

I assume every Wolves fan is (or should be) constantly prepared for disappointment...

Doubt wolves fans would be too upset about losing out on overpaying dlo.
Now if wolves traded away culver + first round pick they would be upset.

Free Agency officially starts at 12:01 EDT so that means the Wolves should be meeting with Russell at 9:01 PDT in Los Angeles. Would it be a breach if they were in the same room prior to that time?

They changed it this year and it actually starts at 6:00 pm EDT.

Thanks. I thought I had heard that. Then I read a report that it was Midnight eastern. So I went with that. So it all starts at 3PM for those who live in Arizona like me and those in Pacific time.

I’m surprised teams want to sign mediocre vet PGs to multi year deals (Rubio, Rozier) instead of taking Teague for one year and keeping cap flexibility. I’m not sure who’s going to be willing to take him into space now without an asset attached.

Unfortunately other teams were able to acquire film of Jeff Teague playing

Guide to Wolves fandom:

1) Always expect nothing but bad things to happen so you can't be disappointed

2) End up getting disappointed anyway

Played just fine as far as I could tell. He could have shot better but the 8.2 APG was excellent.

Sucks that you can't really read anything online from "people in the know" without paying for it anymore.

7 hours to go. I think we are the favorites as long as we have the cap space worked out and that sounds certain or Russell wouldn't bother meeting with us. The only competitors I have heard about are the Suns and the Lakers who I heard were going to offer $20 Million a year. I did hear something about Russell could get more in a shoe contract if he was playing for the Lakers. Taxes really suck in both states, but I think are worse in California.

He would obviously rather be here if he's meeting with us first when both of those teams already have the cap space to sign him

There won't be a trade until Rosas shakes hands with Russell.

Are you talking about ESPN plus? Yeah I've heard that its the biggest rip off seeing that most writers still are using specalation to write their articles..
