More interested than anything to see what the "sweeteners" are. Most likely Josh, Roco or a pick along with Wiggins or Teague & G

Gonna miss Gibson's consistency and carry when the team needed it.

One of my favorite Wolves. Makes no sense after 3/$63 for Randle though.

I feel like this is going to be more expensive than I had hoped. I really thought we’d be able to get off Teague without a sweetener. Now I think it’ll be Teague/Okogie. I really hope there’s not a pick on top of that.

I doubt that Wiggins is involved in this move. I still think it comes down to teague and okogie or Culver. Maybe Wiggins gets moved later but I hope not

We would lose Culver on a rookie deal while possibly overpaying Dlo. It is far from ideal. As for Culver vs Okogie, Culver is a ball handler and simply has far more offensive skill and potential than Josh.

Butler S+T to the Heat is bad news for us on Russell.
Means they are likely sending Dragic or Ryan Anderson to a team with raw cap space, taking one team out of play for Teague for raw cap space.

Teague isn't enough salary to make it work. It's the 125% rule. $27.5m / 125% = $22m so we have to send out around $22m in order to take back $27.5m in a s&t.

We should send Wiggins to Miami for Whiteside's expiring just to watch the fireworks between he and Butler.

WTF Jimmy. Apparently it wasnt all about winning, it was all about ego.

This leaves no one to superteam Kawhi with on the clippers, meaning they might get shut out. If they get shut out, opens up another possibility for us with cap space.

ESPN had Dennis Smith Jr as starting PG and Mitchell Robinson as starting center for the Knicks. Adding in Gorgui and Teague wouldnt be too bad for a struggling franchise who needs some veterans to help the young kids.

I think maybe he'll make a good expiring after this season for them. They might be sort of filling out for this season and planning for 20/21. Not sure. In any case Gibson handles himself as a pro and will earn his keep when they need him.

Wade is coming out of retirement. Book it

If we are sending out more than one FRP this is going to be a disaster. And I hope its Wiggins who goes because having both Wigs and Russell on max deals scares the hell out of me.

younggunsmn · Post #773 » by **younggunsmn** » Mon Jul 1, 2019 1:26 am

What Miami pays to unload Dragic or Ryan Anderson is going to set the bar for us.

Towns/Wiggins/Russell with roco and okogie or Culver could be an awesome lineup though

Russell/Towns/Roco/Okogie/Culver with Wiggins in street clothes or on another team is even better.

I bet we get Russell but at a price too high to be worth it. Why would we schedule the Russell meeting without already having the cap space resolved. That seems incompetent. Maybe we had a handshake deal and somebody reneged. That's my only explanation.

remove Wiggins from that lineup and i'd agree

I'm sick of waiting, and this could take a couple days.
