Trade deadline discussion thread

[shrink]

Reports are several teams have made 'aggressive' offers for KD as the deadline nears. I dont expect and would hope the Wolves are not one of them. After the flurry of deals with the likes of Detroit, Washington etc. it's probably near impossible now.

We are $16 mil over the 2nd apron, so a deal acquiring Durant $51 mil deal would mean we’d need to send out over $67 mil. We won’t trade Ant, Gobert can’t be traded after his extension, so it’s nearly impossible for us.

Plus PHX is under 2nd apron restrictions, and we’d need to find a third team that can absorb lots of salary. And neither MIN nor PHX has the assets ..

Yeah, I agree with you. I’d say impossible.

It is a foregone conclusion that Clark will be converted to a standard NBA contract, which would leave the Wolves with no open roster spots. Which means the Wolves would not be part of the buyout market.

Feels like Minott should be traded out in the next few minutes to keep options open

Durant possibly heading to Memphis

KD said no


He's staying in Phoenix.

Durant possibly heading to Memphis

Durant said no. Obviously can still trade for him but not sure I want a disgruntled Durant

Memphis keeps getting denied. Why are they so undesirable?

A bit surprising with Minott and Garza wetting themselves lately.

Since I'm guessing Clark is going to be converted to regular contract for that last roster spot, I would have thought we would have traded one of Minott, Miller, Garza to an open a spot so we could have picked up a big in the buyout market.

This was always the most likely outcome, even though I hoped for something done with vet mins.

I don’t think Garza or Minott have any value, and I doubt we’d even want to use a second to swap them
