    Looks to me like we are trying to get rid of mike miller and kaman as soon as possible given the right deal. Just assuming they were part of the talks

    I think the Wolves want Meyers to replace their Kevin Love loss. The Wolves always want our players.

    Still, it shows what we all pretty much already knew - Olshey is not quite done yet.

    The only thing that makes sense would be Pekovic. They might not need to dump his salary, but I am sure they want to. He just does not fit with the other youngsters on their roster.

    But he does have some value, so I am guessing they are shopping him and we were unwilling to give up what they wanted. Which would be one of our young assets on a cheap contract. The problem is he does not make sense for us either.

    He will be gone by the deadline....if he is healthy.

    Wiggins is the only player that would make this a major deal

    CJ, Meyers, Vonleh and 3 firsts for Wiggins heard it hear first.

    Seriously though I got excited that stuff might happen!

    This thread made me realize how tough of an off season its been when the first thing I thought of when I saw this was thread was "those fuckers want Lillard and it wouldnt shock me if we traded him".

    Id love if it was something with Muhammed, which would be considered a "big deal". Something like then giving us Shabbaz and Pekovic for a Future 1st, Kaman and Harkless.

    They shed a bad contract, get a mentor in Kaman, a future 1st and a young asset in Harkless. We get a good young SG that fits well, and could buyout Pekovic. Likely for less than $20M, and take all of the cap hit this year. That would be the "cap space" part of it. Add in filler and we could possibly get Bennett.

    Youd start Shabazz at the 2, Aminu at the 3, with CJ as your backup 1/2, Henderson as your backup 2/3, and Crabbe as your backup. Suddenly that's a 8th or 9th place team instead of a 10th to 12th place team. And if the team struggles, then oh well, you added a great young SG.

    I assume the deal is that we'll sign the TWolves up as our D-League team.

    Timberwolves: Can we haz Mayers Leonard and CJ for Kevin Martin lol ?
    Olshey: no lol.

    That's about as serious as you can get with Wolves' front office.
