    Updated Heat News:
    The main issue standing on the way of the trade seems to be the unloading of Gorgui Dieng’s three-year, $48 million deal

    Who is going to take Dieng's contract?

    Gordon 2 1sts for Butler
    Dieng for Knight straight up?

    I didn't watch a lot of Wolves games last season but did the season before and thought Dieng was solid. Even had a mid range jumper of sorts.
    People around here don't won't him (the money I side I can understand) but would he fit pretty dam well with what we need right now?

    Hopefully they were like, "we can get FOUR 1st rounders for a guy that doesn't wanna be here?! F**k off Thibs!"

    Heat is trying to get the deal done tonight.

    It is Morey's Time! Take out Knight's contract, and make offers now.

    Our insiders said a deal likely wouldn't get done until Taylor took charge of the situation.

    Well, here we are.

    Everyone will regret if not offering Gordon/picks for Butler.

    2 players I knew are seeking for big overpaid contracts

    Tobias Harris

    Eric Gordon

    Tilman will not join "money war" for Gordon against Knicks, Nets, Clippers, Lakers.

    Dieng is absolutely serviceable especially here. If we could find away to get him and Butler without giving up EGo I'd do it.

    They probably see that Thib’s has made this personal. Time to put aside any personal vendettas and focus on the team, if not The Wolves are going to lose face to the rest of the league.

    Morey May have offered the 4 draft picks merely to expose Thib’s pettiness.

    Reporting 9 day old news as new news... :rolleyes:

    That was an interview Glen Taylor did opening night.

    Thibodeau has three years left on a five-year contract worth about $40 million. Is he coaching for his job?

    “No, no, the only thing now is that we are starting to play games and I am asking him to concentrate on coaching,” Taylor said. “GM Scott Layden will help to see if any trades are available.”

    Tom Thibodeau removed from negotiations? Yeah, and pigs are flying outside! Hurry, go look!
