    You are aware that the Timberwolves have pretty much been in rebuild mode for most of this century, right?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Recruitment counts as "wheeling and dealing?" Well, I've got some good news for you then...

    That'll be funny when one of these guys busts an ankle on the curb doing dumb things like this.

    They can recruit all they want. He's not a free agent and he doesn't have a NTC.

    Admittedly though, if you could make that trade, Irving on this Timberwolves team could be great. Towns and Butler are top class players, they still have some decent assets they could trade to get Irving - Wiggins would almost have to be offered, and he would be a good piece for Cavaliers to take back, and they'd probably throw in Dieng for salary matching purposes. Out of all linked teams Timberwolves can put up the best package IMO. Even if they offer Wiggins, they can play Butler at small forward and have a duo of Teague and Irving in the backcourt. Irving/Teague/Butler/Gibson/Towns is a top 4 line up in the West.

    If he is - this will cement his NBA legacy as a guy that is traded back and forth between Cleveland and Minny

    Good read. Talks about a deal that was actually agreed to that would of sent love to Denver and Denvers 13th pick and Gary Harris to pacers, Cleveland gets George but Pritchard backed out. Also mentions us trying to offer our three picks to George. I kinda see kyrie side now but still puzzled why he wants out of a very good situation at this moment

    Windhurst also tweeted out that Kyrie's people let it be known 3 years ago he didn't like cleveland, then he also tweetd out that Kyrie thought about asking for a trade after both the first finals loss and then the championship year as well. Kyrie has been thinking of leaving for years.

    Bledsoe is not that expensive. He makes $14.5M which is good value in this market, and he is way better than Ntilikina is likely to become. Besides I doubt Suns want to that young - they already have Booker, Jackson, Chriss and maybe Bender who will be getting significant minutes.

    That's fair, I had it in my mind that he was around $20M.

    Part of the trade of course. I don't think Timberwolves can get Irving without offering Wiggins - how would that even work? Dieng, Jones and picks don't get you Kyrie Irving.
