<t>With a significant gap remaining between the Wolves current financial standing and the salary floor, I'm curious how much Layden dives into the trading market to make up the difference. With the free agency thread becoming mammoth, I was hoping to separate into a different thread for trading. I m...

This is probably a silly idea, but if the Wolves were to sign Thibadeau as the main man, would that provide an interesting turn in Butler trade talks? What was his relationship with Thibs?

On a totally unrelated note, I think Bill Simmons is finally coming around on the Wolves. On his podcast, he has had very high praise for Wiggins and Towns, going as far to say Towns might be a Top-25 player right now.

<t>I understand that is vastly premature, but I'm curious to hear what position people think the Wolves should address via this year's draft. I have faith in our front court if Wiggins, Bjelica, and Towns all continue showing varying degrees of potential. Of those three, obviously Bjelica is the mos...

Only issue is who would contribute off the bench, but I do think Nemanja and Pek could at least provide to be scoring threats. Make a small trade for a run-of-the-mill 3 and D guy to space the floor, and I...

Anyone else notice that the Top 5 consists mostly of yearly lottery participants? I suppose there's not a need to vent about your team online if they are winning on a consistent basis.

<r>The Kings in particular. At least the others you mentioned have some sort of plan in place. The Lakers actually can bounce back relatively quickly with what seem to be sound building blocks in Randle and Russell ( Nance Jr. doesn't do much for me). The Sixers seem to have a solid core building af...

<r>Watch out for Milwaukee next year. They made the Bulls <B><s>[b]</s>work<e>[/b]</e></B> for the second round this year, and this was without the new face of the franchise in Jabari Parker. You add him back and throw Monroe into the mix, along with an improved young core, and you're looking at a c...
