I hope it is a plan to sign David West. That guy is an animal. I have always liked his game. Would love to see us play Memphis with him as our 4. He would be a great mentor for Towns or Okafor to on how to get after it on D.

David West is going to be 35 next season. And he has a player option, so if he opts out of that $12M... he's going to want 3 years on his next deal, right?
Where does he fit in then in year 2 and 3? And would he want to play for a rebuilding team at least a couple years away at the end of his career?
I don't know if it has been brought up on this thread already but this whole thing may be a reflection on Thad's future with this team. He may have told Flip that he is opting out and won't resign.
That said I HATE this move. Even if we dump Budinger the return of KG does nothing for this team now or in the future. Zgoda says that this move may be Flip showing KG some love so when (if) KG and a group purchase the Wolves in the future his posistion with the club would be secure. That is some real bullshit right there even if I'm not sure how much I believe it.
There has to be some aspect of this deal that hasn't been reported. Maybe there is a young player or draft pick that no one knows about, that can be the only salvation this deal has in my eyes. Thad has to have more value than an over the hill punk like KG out there.

Just over here sitting in the wind
Last year everyone was hating on Jack when there were rumors about a potential Bud and Barea swap. Hindsight is a funny thing, eh?
Jack would be the new Thad Young if he came here...
1) He's a decent, but not great, veteran player.
2) He's not Ricky Rubio, and in fact, a polar opposite to Rubio in some ways which would be great fodder for Rubio fans to dismiss him.
