Im starting to get concerned if rosas can pull this off. So far, dlo wants to come here, we want him. But how are we going to make this work? Diwn to 3 teams with cap space and There are still worthwhile free agents on the market.

A sign and trade with brooklyn and golden state remains the most likely option now.

If The Wolves don't get Russell it will because the money and cost was too much. A ton of money has been handed out already if we end up being patient and smart I'm cool with that.

Wiggins at 4 years $122 mil would still be the worst deal by a wide margin that's out there.

I just got off the phone with Mark Cuban and he disagrees.

We can take dallas off the list for teams with capspace.

They have Tim Hardaway Jr. though. Some team might find him useful.

Mark never returned my call. Like I was telling someone the other days relationships are complicated and you have to live with the quirks of some people. =)

The reality is we are a lot farther down the road do FA's than I was expecting at this time. Basically the only guy we don't know where he is going is Kawhi. TECHNICALLY free agency is 2.5 hours old. lol

I also want to say these players aren't technically signed yet. Meaning the order of the moves being done can make a trade possible. Its not like the cap is washed up yet

Yeah good point. For example the Lakers and Pels added the Wizards to their deal days later. Most of these big deals cant be completed till JULY 6!!!!! That's like a million years from now. lol

Doesn't help us get dlo though.

It could. Lets say the Mavs want Wiggins. What if the Knicks are like...Damn can we get Hardaway back AGAIN!!! So now you have Wiggins going to the Mavs and Hardaway going to the Knicks. More would have to happen but...thats the idea. you never know what kind of deck chairs could end up being shuffled. Its not JUST about cap space or trade exemptions for a possible landing spot for Wiggins or even Teague.

Reading the tea leaves... Sure seems like Wiggins winds up a Knick, Wolves get D'lo, and some draft compensation is involved to make it all work.

But that's just speculation. It would mean Teague is still available for trade! (and yes, he does have value!)

The market will dictate his value. I'll bet against he's not wanted by the other 29 teams.

Russell meeting with the Lakers. Maybe the Wolves couldn't pull of a cap-clearing deal and Russell is on to his Plan B.
