He ain't going anywhere anytime soon. I'm genuinely interested to see how ugly this gets.

If this is true why the report yesterday said he was "hurt" by being shoped on the Harden trade?

I legit hate this man. What a pampered POS.

all of this is damage control and an attempt to regain leverage.

Another Klutch hit piece is in the oven right now as we speak.

Morey.

Show everyone you’re moreyball by finding cheap replacement for Ben while try to extract as much value as possible.

I suggest going after appreciating assets that the current asset may not be as valuable as Ben but is likely to have an asymmetry in value favoring us in the future.

Is part of the Ben -> Wolves deal that they take on Brand as their GM lmao

At first I was sad that the guy who overpaid for DLO was fired...

But if Brand goes to the T'Wolves, then fleecing in a Ben trade is back on the menu boys!

Ben would have also perfectly fit the Bulls, Ive mentioned it before. And Eversley have a bias on him.

I'm not counting out a LaVine-Ben trade yet. It makes less sense now that the Bulls have acquired two guys (who we should have considered) that are ball dominant distributors with shooting issues in Ball and DeRozan.

Additionally, a Coby White, Patrick Williams, Troy Brown, and Derrick Jones + picks for Ben could possibly entice, but doesn't really fit what Morey is targeting. Would also pretty much give the Bulls a championship or at least an easy ride to the ECF.

There arent words to describe how **** pathetic and sad this bum ass organization is

**** this org bending over asking for it from simmons. Begging and pleading for him. Absolute trash player that we do this over? Disgusting and Im starting to hope not only ben loses massively in all of this but this organization too

Damn, T'Wolves promoted Sachin Gupta. IIRC, he was one of Hinkie's guys and, as Sam put it, the driving force behind all of his trades. Probably savvy enough to know not to go after Ben.

Good, they really have nothing I want in a trade anyway unless they go nuts and put Edwards on the table, which isn't happening.

I, for one, do not want to be involved in a trade with Gupta, the brainchild of the Kings trade/pick swaps.

But this is all very, very interesting.

Ben fit with Vucevic would have been even worse than the one with Joel.

But who knows, probabl they would not trade for Vuc with Ben there

Lol. Can we get some more T'Wolves fans in here telling us how bad Ben's trade value is while their star is disgruntled? Might need to do another makeup trade to keep him happy.
