    Jimmy and Oubre interest is apparently misdirection as we secretly pursue white boy Rick.

    We haven’t gotten Jimmy or legit sources

    Meanwhile I’m watching this Lakers Nuggets game. Man if Ingram and Kuzma get better with every game this team does have potential to be really really good. Ingram can be such a great talent and if Kuzma is a good shooter then LA becomes such a dangerous team.

    What player will be the next novel thread after jimmy?
    Melo was chapter 1.
    Anthony Davis gonna be chapter 3? Morey is obviously going to call in and make the offer of Capela + Knight + Rob Gray. Will we insist no other team can beat that?

    Because I'm bored and we still dont have an official random trades thread.

    Houston out: gordon, nene, 2019 1st, 2021 1st
    Houston in: Butler

    Outlook: butler represents all in


    Minnesota out: Butler, Dieng, lotto protected 1st
    Minnesota in: gordon, nene, wcs, 2 future hou1sts

    Outlook: completely shed diengs contract while replacing it with a cheaper and better player in wcs who happens to be a great friend of KAT.

    Gordon replaces butler and you gain 2 future 1sts. Sucks to lose a 1st but its playoff protected and really just swapping 1sts in order to shed dieng which would take 2 1sts most likely while gaining a quality young asset also.


    Sacramento out: wcs
    Sacramento in: dieng, minny 1st

    Outlook: they are log jammed at the 5. They seemed to have moved on from wcs. And they appear desperate for a 1st.

    Haha. You think I didn’t see the score.
    I’m just going off Lebron teams. They don’t have to win games early.

    Again I just can’t see it happening on the Kings side. If it’s a lottery protected pick then you would need a couple of them just to absorb Diengs contract. But now you’re asking them to give up WCS too?

    Who knows

    Sacramento is one of the more likely teams to do something stupid

    TWolves playing games...

    https://hoopshype.com/2018/09/30/jimmy-butler-minnesota-timberwolves-trade-rumors-tom-thibodeau/

    According to Sam Amick, the disgruntled star met with Minnesota head coach Tom Thibodeau roughly a month before the original reports surfaced. Amick was told that this conversation was largely Butler telling his coach, who also serves as the Wolves’ president of basketball operations, that he wanted out (via The Athletic):

    “According to a source, the two men who spent four seasons together in Chicago had breakfast in Los Angeles shortly after Butler underwent a minor surgery on his right shooting hand in early August… Butler, who takes great pride in his willingness to be brutally honest even when the truth might hurt, believed he had made it clear that he wanted out. But Thibodeau, whose stubbornness is nothing short of legendary, swears he didn’t see it that way and continued hoping that the situation could be rectified.”

    He is not the real target. But we'll take him at the right price.

    If we get Jimmy Butler, I say we trade him along with Capela for Anthony Davis at the deadline. Try to convince me why we shouldn't do this.
