    I think Kevin Martin would be a good addition though.

    I question this premise.
    Just because a team inquires, doesn't mean that NO is still wheeling and dealing. Obviously he is going to at least listen to any offer, but I don't see him making any more changes unless its TRULY a major deal, and there isn't a player on Timberwolves roster that would fit or system without giving up a couple of our high potentials. No team is going to make a major deal for a superstar at this time, so there isn't really a play for NO right now on the major trade scale. Again... Why trade an unknown for an known? We have already made the moves. If NO does anything else until close to the trade deadline, I think it will only be one type of move. A very low giveaway from us, possibly even just cap space, for very low risk/high reward players. I don't think he is giving anyone up from this roster other than Miller right now. I think he wants to see what they can do early on. Many of these guys on our roster, might be twice as valuable only a couple weeks into the season depending on how they come out. Trading them now without giving them any time to prove themselves or improve their value would be foolish in my opinion and I'm pretty sure NO feels the same.

    Troll Tweet.

    There is nothing here guys

    Muhammad and Bennett was my first thought, but that would be if WE were the ones inquiring. If it's them initiating talks, it was probably Pek for picks.

    Our gm no dummy wolves was properly after Myers and cj for pek. Our gm is not parting ways with those 2 players.

    Yeah, I would imagine they asked what it might take to dump Pek, and price was too high for their liking. They can't trade a 1st until 2020, so I would imagine they offered a player, and we wanted a better one.

    Only way I would support taking on Pek is getting Wiggins. Basically, no chance either side is getting what they want

    It's never going to happen, but now my hopes are up!p

    Dame and Wiggens together = Next years slogan - "The better duo". That would be one of the most exciting teams to watch for a long time... If only we still had T-Rob.

    No, but Dieng might have been a slightly more realistic and yet still interesting dream.

    maybe the Blazers found out that Damian DOES drink like a fish, and they're trying to trade him before the shit hits the fan?

    Realize this is trade is dead, but just found this article. It raises several questions.

    Why is a reporter in Charlotte reporting on a possible Blazer/Minny trade?

    He states Portland would be giving up the better players. What???

    There's no way they were after that. That would be lIke us calling Cleveland and offering Vonleh and Plumlee for Lebron
