Like that has a chance! ;-)

And even if he did pick us, you know damn well his shot would suddenly go to hell and he would grossly underperform his career 3-point numbers.

Might as well throw Nik Stauskas in the mix as well!!

Cam would finally get his man!

Wolfson was reporting that Layden declined 3 deals.

Tolliver for CJ Miles and a 2nd
Tolliver for Lee and a 2nd
Tolliver for Patrick Patterson and a 2nd

I would have declined all 3 because all those contracts have money for next year and the players we get would bring 0 upside

Also many people had reported that Taylor still expects playoffs this year so that is a reason why we didn't trade for future picks

Also being reported that Layden did crazy counter offers like thibs used to do. Self sabotaging the trades.

Please sell Taylor i'm begging you

I would have taken either of the first two deals. What does money matter? We have no cap space with Towns extension kicking in if Teague opts in which is very possible after a down season now. They both add shooting and Tolliver isn't playing anyway so get a pick for him as well while you are at it.

The only deal at this point that would put a smile on my face is getting rid of Wiggins, and I really don't care what the cost is. I'd rather start over from square one than have to watch that indifferent bum again.

Those 3 deals wouldn't allow us to use the non-tax payer MLE. That matters.

No. It still doesn't matter. What free agent is turning this team around for the MLE? The answer is none. That guy is a sixth man in the best case scenario and the best case scenario isn't coming to MN. Only the overpaid scenario is coming here. So the smaller MLE will actually keep us from overpaying someone in hopes they do more than they can.

Eh, i'm not going to put my heels in the ground and disagree. I understand your point. I would rather have the MLE but I understand you wanting the 2nd round pick.
