    I think it must involve the new players, since they waited so long (aug 24 they can trade, i think)

    Probably involves pekovic. Fuck. I hope it doesn't, but that's the most logical based on us going after kanter and Monroe this summer. And the fact that they drafted towns

    I don't think Bennett qualifies as a major deal. Pekovic would

    Kanter is 23 and Monroe is 25. Pek turns 30 this season. Not him imo. Only one beyond Bennett that I could see it being is Kevin Martin and they would basically be paying us (throwing in a pick) to take him.

    Wiggins, Towns and LaVine for Montero and Frazier.

    "Major" is thrown around a lot just to get hits. Bennett was the 1st pick in the draft. Major bust but major something for sure.

    Could be that. I wouldnt mind it, if Henderson went out in the deal. Otherwise we have too many sgs that want minutes

    Yep. Buy on the cheap and see if he pops. Plus they most likely give US something just to take him of their hands (like a pick).

    With Towns on board I think Dieng could be a target.

    But I think we'd have to eat a contract - enter Anthony Bennett.​

    Minnesota isn't over the tax level, so they don't need to dump salary. They've got a ton of trade exceptions, so they don't need to clear salary to make future deals. If something is brewing, it doesn't look like it's financially motivated on Minnesota's part.

    he's got 2 or 3 yrs left on a pretty big deal, so I don't think it's him unless they give up a lot

    Wiggins or bust! Between these two teams I'm not sure what would be considered major and yet realistic.
