Because it's a wolvesy thing to do?

Exactly. Maybe they'll throw in Mike Miller.

Granted, the Miami duo is better and more attractive, but they are indeed comparable. I highly doubt anyone would trade their star player for a package centered around Brogdon and he compares favorably next to Richardson.

When you're in the position the Wolves are in now, you take what you can get.

Cam IMHO Richardson is better than Brogdon (plus he is a true wing Brogdon is a combo guard) and signed for 2 more years at a very nice rate. Thon Maker...I really don't know what to think of him. I do know he sucks at being in fights. Lol

I think you can make a very compelling argument Richardson, considering his contract his better value then Butler. Butler's next contract is going to be extremely over priced. Dunc'd on pod was saying the same thing last episode.

I should chime in here and say if all we get is Richardson and have to take on a contract to do so then yeah it's not enough. Personally I think the Wolves should be able to get 3 things back in a trade. I'm with Cam I'm not super high on Bam either...I would be much more intruiged if we didn't already have a guy like Towns who I still think is a center.

We should focus on Richardson and move on from Bam. Richardson is the real deal and he's on a great contract. Bam is all hype and he's not even at Whiteside's level, at least yet.

Richardson, Winslow and 1st for Butler OR
Richardson, Whiteside and 1st for Butler and Dieng

I'm ok either way. Riley is not giving up both Richardson and Bam and a 1st, so we are just delaying things by being inflexible. The fact we are talking to the Clippers who don't have much to offer is telling and I am less excited by the possibility of landing Tobias Harris than JR as he will be an UFA and is a high risk of walking.

This is the exact offer I would do if I were the Wolves. It seems fair or in Miami's favor to me. I wonder if this something they would do.

As much as we would maybe have match up problems with Whiteside and Towns on the floor wouldn't other teams have problems guarding towns at the power forward spot?

I will be sick to my stomach if this is what the Wolves trade Jimmy Butler for.
