Knicks · Minnesota Timberwolves Trade? (page 1)

There's been discussion about us signing Kevin Love but I'm far more intrigued by the "stragglers" that the Wolves have left on the roster. They have 3 young talents that are rumored to be on the block, which could jump start a retooling/rebuilding process: (1) Gorgui Dieng, (2) Derrick Williams and (3) Alexey Shved.

I think that they could truly blossom if they went to a new destination where they could get consistent touches and have the opportunity to develop. If we were willing to part with a few of our vets (e.g. JR Smith)/blow things up, we might actually have a chance at getting all 3.

I would go after Alexey Shved

All three are presently playing like trash and have a history of playing like trash.

Dieng's been in the league for 6 games. What "history" are you referring to exactly?

I would take Dieng, Louisville head coach raved how he likes to continue to learn to get better

All three for JR please.

Is that in Europe because in the NBA he sucks as a shooter. Below 38% and 30% from three.

No he isn't- last year: 37.2% FG, 29.5% 3PT. This year: 20.8% FG, 16.7% 3PT. Plus he's slow. He is awful!
