He is the one guy, but he makes Pekovic look like an IRONMAN.

Take it for what you want...

@DarrenWolfson: Led to think GR-III will earn his way onto #Twolves. Keep hearing that JJ is playing well. Detroit prob. the team to watch on Chase B front.

Even though this was speculation about Detroit by Wolfson I was just looking at Detroits contracts I don't see anyone obvious they would trade to us maybe a 3 team deal? Philly? Lol I still think Flip will ask for something in return for Bud.

Hmm...I'm not seeing any deals that work with Detroit either. The perfect deal for the Wolves would be to pick up a long, physical backup PF in exchange for Bud and JJ...that would clear out some of the wing glut and allow Flip to keep GR3. But I don't know of any deals that would work.

Jonas Jerebko for Budinger. Good enough for me. One year shorter contract and gives us better version of Hummel on bench.

Doesn't get us down to 15 though, so GR3, JJ or Robbie still would have to go.

Robbie would go.

I think Robbie has to go. He wouldn't be dressed most nights anyway to be able to come in off the bench. If 1 of Thad or AB go down, do we really want to be playing Robbie around 15 minutes a game backing the other guy up for possibly a significant amount of games? I think Robbie gets cut and Flip continues to try to move Bud and JJ for an open roster spot to bring in a legitimate 4 to be the emergency backup (possibly Dante). Maybe Bud or JJ could land us a 4 to backup AB and Thad. It just makes the most sense to cut the cheapest deal when JJ and Bud might be able to play their way into a deal around the deadline if some teams have some injury issues. Nobody is potentially trading for Robbie and nobody might even pick him up if he does get cut.

I'd like to see them find a 4 with a little more size. Dante gets abused down low, and only gets his offense on that FT line jumper.
