It's giving up on the potential of LaVine and Dunn for what we know Butler is

You're probably right but with the playoffs being a stretch this year I'd hold out and see what Dunn has and how much LaVine grows


I'm not certain we know what Butler is at this point. He's still very young and has improved every year (this year was somewhat of a stagnation) while his usage and ball-handling has increased.

Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to have butler here, but honestly we aren't contending this year with or without him. I'd rather see how much LaVine grows and what Dunn can do.

Once again I'd trade either one straight up for him, but not both at this point

Is Kevin Martin still on the roster?

That's probably true. Butler would take you guy to the playoffs but not into the top X contenders. Honestly the best chance for the Wolves to be a real contender, not a treadmill team is to hope their picks all pan out and in 4-6 years they can hit their prime together as the current group (Lebron, Durant) start to decline.

We bought Kmart out and he went to the Spurs, along with Andre Miller

In terms of our starting lineup I really hope we sign Deng, he loves thibs and would help balance our starting lineup, giving LaVine the ability to lead our 2nd unit.

We desperately need a pf, KG is useless these days on the court

No, even if healthy he won't. KAT is our big man, Dieng has proven to be a amazing backup.

I want Pek gone more than anyone on this team. Rubio a close second

I see somebody taking Rubio off our hands, even with pek's contract looking smaller now I still think it'll be hard to move him

Cole Aldrich signs 3 year 22m deal .

Really don't know much about him outside of him having a good year with the clippers last year, should be a good rotational big man and the money is small.

Now if we can just unload Pek
