Late Season Free Agents

What's Jeff Adrien up to these days. Wolves could use a tank like him to protect Dieng's skinny ass.

Last I heard he was in prison league.

Heh, while Jeff Adrien may no longer be an option, we could certainly use that type of player off the bench. A strong man that can help control the defensive glass and set good picks.

I would suggest adding guys like Trevor Booker or Lavoy Allen.

I absolutely love Lavoy Allen and think he would be the perfect bench big. He's one of the better defensive PFs in the league. Unfortunately, I think he's under contract for another year with Indiana.

^^^ We have some assets to burn.

Payne's garbage. We need to put someone better on the floor than him. We absolutely can find somebody better.

You can add KMart, Pek and Bazz to the trash list too. Outside of our top 5 guys and KG when he's healthy (and I'll give a pass to Tyus and Belly being its their first year), we need a major overhaul. 7 spots of garbage. Lets bring in some DLeague studs to audition for next year. We still have a lot of work to do to get a quality bench.

It's amazing how thin our frontcourt is in terms of NBA caliber players. Towns, Dieng and 10-15 MPG's of KG when healthy. That's it. Belly is struggling like a rookie. Payne still isn't good. Pek is garbage. And there isn't another big on the team. How did we come into the season with that group and have any kind of winning expectations? We have to cut Payne and stretch provision Pek bringing his cap hit down to 7.9 over 3 years instead of 12.1 next year and 11.6 the following year. With the jump in cap there's no reason to keep him on the books because there's plenty of money to eat his deal and still be able to bring guys in. We ran out of money this year and were stuck with hoping he got healthy, but he needs to be let go this summer so we can get a quality backup C who can rebound, defend the rim and be a wide load big because we have a bunch of skinny weaklings in our frontcourt. We need a tree trunk leg big in our frontcourt.

Instead of signing David Lee, I think signing Raphiael Putney or Vincent Hunter is a better option. Putney is scoring over 18 points in the d league with 2.6 blocks, 2.8 threes on 39% shooting and 9.2 rebound, 2 assists and a steal a game.

Putney can do it all. Here's a link to his DLeague page. http://dleague.nba.com/player/raphiael-putney/

Putney is rail thin 6'10 forward. I have hard time to believe that he would be able to guard anyone in NBA.

Someone here was a big Stokes fan. I don't know why Memphis and Miami got rid of him or why New Orleans with their terrible roster couldn't find a spot for him, but I wonder what the concerns are with him.

From your list, I would prefer Stokes. He seems to be quite explosive athlete and has NBA body. Could play next to Towns since KAT has so good outside shot.

Word is teams have shown interest in Beasley when he is done playing in China...

Of course the only way that would involve the Wolves in some way is if someone signed Beas and dumped somebody the Wolves wanted. Lol
