    Intriguing. But who do you waive?

    I very much like both Reath and Badji.

    Trade Reath & sign Koloko to a 2-way

    Minaya I guess. But you’d be bringing in someone that’s still fighting respiratory issues, just remember that. This is a gamble type of guy.

    I’d rather keep Reath. Trading your only healthy center to bring in another unhealthy center would just be no bueno.

    I'd think the last team wants to join would be the Blazers. To beat third or fourth center on one of the worst teams in the league?

    How did he get respiratory issues?

    Just looked that up. He's been battling a respiratory illness since the summer? Long Covid? Maybe don't go that direction.

    Not hearing people crack on Minny for this trade so much anymore!

    Looks Koloko has a blood clot issue that could be career threatening.

    True. I hated the trade but they know better than me, fortunately. OKC and MIN in the WCF is not entirely crazy. Imagine saying that a couple of years ago. I love this league.

    If T-wolves fail to win the championship, then the harping will continue. If you're not losing for draft picks, or winning the actual title, then you're doing it wrong.

    I still would very much dislike the trade if I was a Minny fan. Only reason to change your mind is for multiple years of deep runs with at least one finals appearance.

    You don’t trade that much for 1st and 2nd round exits.
