Wolves Non-Durant Trade Ideas

[Lipoli390]

Thoughts on Jalen Green? Reports are the Suns are trying to reroute him the Durant trade. Would a Rudy for Green make any sense?

I’m not sure it does but thought I would bring it up because it would be another shot creator next to Ant.

Wow. That might be the most athletic backcourt in NBA history. It’s certainly intriguing. My gut says yes, but my head says no.

I'm probably with Lip on this one, although I'm not sure Green is done developing yet. I'm just not sure he really scares defenses all that much, even though he is capable of putting up points.

Outside of one big 38 point game, game 2 Green averaged 9.2 points in the other 6 games against Golden State. Buddy Hield had him jail, stealing the ball from him often. (Hield also gave Ant some fits) Now if it's Green and Jabari Smith I would be interested plus whatever we need to include in the trade.

not interested in Green or Smith

They both just feel like players who will always leave you feeling like they should be better.

I actually kind of like Smith, but I couldn't agree more about Green. I have a feeling he's worn out his welcome in Houston and they would love to move him.

I got another one I like (I mentioned it a while back):

Randle for Vucevic and Ball. NAZ gets promoted to starting PF. Ball becomes Dilly's "bridge" PG, with Conley providing what ever is called for. Vucevic adds the 3-point shooting and rebounding that we did not get from Randle. Gives time for Miller and/or our rookie to get some minutes at PF, plus Jaden may get more minutes at PF, too.

Agree 100%. This is a trade idea I love. If TC could pull this trade off, I wouldn't hate him as much as I do now. At least, he did one thing I liked and that was dump DLO's ass. Hope he can manage a second.

I like this a lot too. As far as the other that Green idea… gross

Looking back at his stats after year 2 it looked like he was gonna make the leap and be some sort of at least puedo star but it hasn't really happened. Still he turned 23 in February. He feels like a guy some team that needs a jolt would take a shot at maybe even the Nets or something. I haven't watched him enough to comment beyond this but a couple other posts saying he leaves you wanting more do track. I don't think the Wolves exactly need another wing although a legit scorer would make some sense. He isn't the most efficient guy and as far as I know he hasn't ever been known for his D. Will he still develop or will he become an overpaid guy kinda like Jordan Poole?

Well, I guess I have to be the one to poke a hole in this one!

I like the starting lineup, assuming Ball is healthy, which is a big if: Rudy, Naz, Jaden, Ant, Ball. That is a big, defensively versatile lineup that could play a number of different coverages. Offensively I feel like Jaden gets more touches. We'd really need Ball's 3-ball to return to form to help space the floor, but Naz is > Randle in that regard as well, so that helps.

Vucevic though...not sure about the fit. He has never been known for playing good defense and he'd be out there with Dillingham. That is a pretty soft defensive pairing at PG and C. And he has been a starter for many years now, so not sure what this kind of shift does to his mentality.
