They could definitely use magloire, wright, marcus and even krstic. they have Gerald Green who gets no run at all but is a great swing. Corey brewer he is not getting the run. Great defensive player and he isnt afraid to shoot. Randy Foye and Ryan Gomes also! Any of these players would Strenghten our bench. I dont see us making a blockbuster that puts us in the league of the Celtics but instead making smaller moves to make us a better all around team.
Gerald Green maybe, but anyone else on that team...well, either we can't get 'em, or we wouldn't want 'em.
I don't know how much they're going to want to give up their younger pieces already, especially since they are all still on smaller contracts. If we wanted one of their vets with a bigger contract (aka Walker or Jaric)--which I hope we don't-- I'm sure they'd love to clear out the cap space with Jamaal's contract. Maybe they'd want to swap one of their younger players for Marcus or Wright, but I'm not too sure. And I don't know how much anyone is going to want to give up for Nenad until he shows he's back healthy.
I am really surprised at the lack of playing time green is getting. He was damn good off the bench in boston.
I really like Ryan Gomes from this team and at the beginning of the year we could have snagged him but now he's playing beyond his potential. He's a nice 3 - 4 mix with outside range like Nachbar but with better inside game.
Gerald Green is not only getting no burn...the Wolves declined to exercise his option. I would happily provide the Wolves with Magloire, some cash and a second rounder for Green and Telfair.
WOW! ^^ Something must be wrong with greens attitude then. He was great on the celtics and i thought going to the wolves would give him some shine. That is really strange. I dont think telfair is going anywhere though.

We have to deal with Mark for another year but he's a great teammate.

Waive Armstrong and then let Marcus and Telfair battle it out for minutes? Plus, I'm not sure if Gerald Green would get minutes under Lawrence Frank if he's not getting minutes on a bad team, though Boki didn't really get any minutes on the Hornets and look what happened when he came here.
I think you guys are overrating Gerald Green big time. I watched just about every game he played for Boston and I can't see him amounting to anything. He probably has the worst basketball IQ I've seen from a pro player. He has a ton of athleticism and a decent jumpshot, but I doubt he'll ever learn to play offense or defense at a pro level.

There is zero chance the T-Wolves are trading Foye or Brewer this season. The player the Nets should be calling every day about is Rashad McCants, who is exactly the type of shooter and scorer they need. He would cost a lot, though. Maybe the Nets could hire Jerry Schisting as the new assistant to the assistant GM so we could get him cheap.

Nor has he embarrassed either franchise. BBIQ can be improved. So can defense. We're not talking JR Smith here. As for Mark Madsen, please. He has three years left on his contract. Taking him would be crazy.
