[Charania] The Wolves have a major decision to make with Russell, who is on an expiring $31.3m contract with no signs of an extension. The team would lose his salary slot if he leaves as a free agent, so Minnesota has been exploring trade possibilities for Russell while prioritizing another PG

    Terry rozier can play pg, although he’s not good at it!

  4. lil_extro_vert_

    This article was so unsexy, don’t see the deadline having many fireworks

  5. TacoooJay

    D’Lo for CP3 maybe? D’Lo and Booker are close friends after all

    Isn’t it a known fact they’re talking with Miami?

    Idk how much Lowry adds for them at this advanced stage of his career, but if you can get Lowry and a second or something and see if he can unlock this roster somehow you gotta try.

    Traditional PG like Rondo, CP3, Rubio etc. Really help unlock big men with stonehands even. I mean CP made Biyombo look all star calibre last season. Last time Bis looked so good was with Toronto.

    Yeah it’s bad money, but it’s only one more year, and his IQ and vet leadership for Ant and the other young guns including KAT would help. I can’t tell you enough about how much Herro and Vincent have improved as playmakers under Lowry.

    Just look at Cam Payne and Booker’s playmaking before and after CP3.

    If they can get a lottery protected first + Lowry for DLo it would be massive.

    Good.

    I dont love going back to Utah for more deals though. At all

  8. SOB200

    DLO is taking a paycut right? Otherwise what teams with space want him?

  10. sadlytheguyisnogood

    i know minnesota has done many things wrong and D-Lo isnt that good of a player to begin with but oh my god that gobert trade is so fucking insane. 40 games in and theyre already in desperation mode to make more trades to make it work.

  11. MrPapadapalas

    Boy we unironically could use Rubio right about now

  12. drjisftw

    Is there any way that the Wolves could get Murray from the Hawks?

    It’d be an ugly trade between two teams with not a lot of draft capital but it’d essentially be a Gobert-Murray swap or something along those lines (have not looked at salaries or the trade machine just spitballing here).

  13. SnarfSniffsStardust

    Sounds like Connelly trying to get a narrative out so we aren’t as butthurt when he trades for another overpaid washed vet

  15. niddiboi

    Am I crazy for wanting Fultz on the wolves? No idea how they’d make the salaries work, but I think Fultz could be a fantastic fit next to Ant. Throw in Naz or nowell to sweeten the deal?

  16. mr_robust

    Minnesota has realized how dumb the gobert trade was and are gonna tighten up significantly.

    He gon

  18. bigbaldheadNR

    This is gonna be a good trade deadline boys. Lots of teams trying to improve. Calling 20 trades.

  20. souttous

    Not trading Russell would be a disaster for them

    Whatever works out the best for those Jazz picks.
