Minnesota... clearly Thibb wants his Chicago guys there. Only Deng and Noah are missing really. Minnesota has use for both players and could actually get both if they were motivated.
Anyway.... Noah for Gorgui Dieng and Crawford
Why? Thibb wants to play nasty inspired defense. Noah could help protect KAT. Knicks? Well we get a player we could use in Dieng. He's on a longer contract, but Crawford comes off the books after next season. He'd be a waive/buyout candidate after he exercises his player option.
That's all I got.
Any bright ideas on how to move Noah? A buyout seems out of the question
The question is what getting read of Noah will accomplish except of removing irritation from the fact he is consuming cap space?
May be better to look at this in a way as his contract is preserving the cap space from being prematurely spent on some crap.

if we buy out Crawford and keep Dieng, what is the net affect on cap space vs. making Noah wait until he accepts a buy out.
There is precedence to this. Once upon a time Mutumbo was bought out and took a discount of 10mil over two years. He was able to recapture that once waived as a free agent. Put that with a stretch and it starts to make a lot of sense for us. Craw at his age should not be on our roster and if we have to pay him, the question is what can Dieng do for us?
And What can Noah do for the Wolves?
NOt sure how this all plays out but at this juncture Noah is not an obstacle to our success so the longer we wait the better we are.
Im trying to think about our posture and thought process and why it would be advantageous.
Noah is done as NBA player and he knows that very well, thats why he will never accept buyout of any kind.
So all speculations about it are useless.
If Knicks manage to trade him, then he will be only as salary match. Since new FO didn't show any decent signs of competence in this trade deadline, we can assume Noah will retire as Knick.

Like a 4 year max deal for IT

Exactly.
Sometimes you need unfortunate consequences to save yourself from your own mind and your own ego.
