Albert Nahmad was tweeting about various sign and trades so I figured why not add the Wolves in. So here is my crazy blockbuster (this is so huge maybe it should be called Netflix!!!) sign and trade extravaganza deal.

Sign and trade Kyrie from Boston to Nets.
Sign and trade Kemba from Hornets to Boston.
Sign and trade Russell from Nets to the Wolves.
Wiggins to the Hornets. :)

Rozier could also be a possibility to be signed and traded also!

Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
Sources: Boston's showing interest in a 3-team sign-and-trade w/ Kyrie Irving (Nets), Kemba Walker (Celtics) and Terry Rozier (Hornets). Boston wants to create a full MLE and would likely need to surrender at least a first-round pick to Nets. So far, talks are exploratory.

I find the bit about the Celtics having to send at least one 1st rounder to the Nets in a deal like that. Makes me wonder if the Wolves will find a way into that deal. Could we see some bonkers 5 team deal? lol (Do they even allow those anymore?)

He would have been fired on the spot. Again I don't get why people think he would have just voluntarily gotten himself fired for the future of a franchise he wouldn't have been a part of.

Kyrie is signing with the Nets. What if neither Durant nor any if the other elite free agents sign with the Nets? In other words, Kawhi end up with Toronto or the Clippers. Durant end up with the Warriors, Knicks, Lakers or Clippers. Harris and Butler end up staying with the Sixers. I'd say that Durant is the only one if these free agents with a good chance of signing with the Nets. If the Nets end up without any of these, I think a Wiggins/Russell sign-and-trade makes sense for them.

They'd have the star PG the cover. They'd have an excellent young wing in LeVert and a potential star young center in Allen. Wiggins could be a great fit in that scenario. He can give them 20 points per game without having to handle the ball a lot. Kyrie can draw attention and create for Wiggins. We could throw in a future 2nd round pick.

That's a possibility I suppose, somehow I just think the Nets from office is too smart for this. I get taking on Wig if you're a team(s) like SacTown or Charlotte because the opportunity cost isn't there like it is in Brooklyn, their market and image around the league will always have them a player in free agency. But signing Kyrie puts pressure on the front office to do something now.

The wife and I went to see Yesterday, yesterday. If you haven't seen the previews it's about a person who is the only one on earth who remembers The Beatles and gets famous off their songs. It was a really entertaining movie with an excellent soundtrack! Highly recommended!

Covington is likely worth 2 first round picks. The mistake for Thins was not trading Butler sooner. It will be interesting to see if Butler ends up going to Miami and what they give up and what the Sixers take back. We could basically see what we could have gotten in a deal with them. The funny thing is right now Shamet May be the guy that because of his low salary etc he looks REALLY valuable. Who was gonna guess that months ago when he was drafted?

Thanks for the recommendation. I was at a friends house and they were talking about that movie a bit. It did sound kinda fun.

Again not to side track the conversation, Kahns, that was the main issue with the whole trade, having a guy making the decision who was inevitably shortsighted. Covington being worth two 1st rounders is optimistic.

How about a 4-way deal with the Nets, Lakers and Cavs:

Wolves get Russell at max $27.25M

Lakers get Kevin Love, reuniting him with LeBron

Cavs get Wiggins, who fits much better than Love as part of a rebuild in Cleveland.

Nets get 2 future 2nd round picks from the Lakers.
