Roster Update/Discussion #2

[IKnowHoops]

Blake just turned 27 like 3 months ago or something like that.

However, Blake would clearly cost us some mix of Dunn/Lavine/Wiggins, etc.

No thanks

Oh I thought it would be a free agent pickup. Yeah I wouldn't trade for him.

Glad Ricky is saving his game for the Wolves as he has been pretty bad at the Olympics. Yikes.

I think I read it wrong haha, he would be a FA pickup. I would probably go after him honestly, but I doubt he would come here.

Who knows...this team might surprise us, and start attracting some big names soon.

If he doesn't resign with LAC, I bet he will either go to the Lakers or OKC. I would only sign him to a three year contract due to his knee issue. Once his athleticism is gone he will turn into the next Stoudemire.

he is a much better shooter/ball handler/passer than Amare was. I think he will age better. I doubt he signs here anyways.

Sacramento again has put out there evidently that they are wanting Ricky. Unfortunately for them the only chip they have is Cousins and they aren't doing that. As the world turns.

They have Cauley-Stein. They could also offer Mclemore to back Levine. With WCS/ Towns froncourt and Dieng/ Pekovic backups, you all would be monsters.

I wonder what we could get from them? Cauley-Stein + Skal + Mclemore? I do that in a heartbeat for Rubio + dirt(Payne + Pek).

Totally just throwing stuff out there but I would love to get these three. That would put this team in a perfect position to grow together into something truly special.

PG Dunn/Tyus
SG Lavine/Mclemore
SF Wiggins/Bazz
PF C-Stein/Dieng
C KAT/Skal

Maybe we make the playoffs, maybe we miss and get decent draft pick one more year, but either way, this team gets better every year for the next 6 years and it would be a very fun ride for all wolves fans with an unbelievably high ceiling.

Side note - I think that is a great team for Tyus to play with as well. A lot of length out there that he can pass the ball to, as well as rim protect to help out his defensive woes.

More like dinosaurs with too many centers. A lineup like that would only work in the 80's.

yeah, but able to guard 3 positions dinosaurs..lol.. Man Cauley-Stein is a pf, Towns is a pf, that is your small ball of 7footers. Add Dieng, who is pf, that's three pf's, from athleticim aspect. Towns at 4 shooting 3's and blocking shot, mixed with WCS swat everything at rim and scoring with athleticism alone, that 'd be best froncourt in league. Nice balance of skills and athleticism on a lineup like that. Great bench too..

Sounds like we touched base with Norris Cole's agent. I wouldn't mind having him as insurance at all.

If we sign Norris that would give us 4 pt guards. Not sure how that would play out with our roster spots.

I bet Dunn sees a ton of time at SG his first year, so I am not too worried.

Busy day of news/scoops. #Twolves scoop: bringing in FA vets for workouts next week. Among those coming in: Dorell Wright + Rasual Butler.

I wouldn't mind picking up either of those guys as another shooter off the bench. Of course, Butler isn't much of a defender these days - sort of a traffic cone like Kevin Martin.

[iliketurtles24]

I keep hearing JR Smith rumors. I dont know if there is any validity there, or just speculation because we have 25 mil in cap space.
