    I'd say i agree, if Minnesota wants to stay somewhat competitive Gordon would be a great piece to take back at this point, i'm not saying he's as good as Butler (of course), but same age, same spot, two way player who can create his own shot, score in different ways, guard three positions...if Miami is not willing to throw Richardson (who is not as good as Gordon imo, even though he's younger and on a better contract) in the deal yeah, i think Gordon might be the best player available for them, at least for what we know.

    in 2020 we might be giving up 2 first rounders to get rid of Butler.

    It seems like other GM's are just overvaluing their own players too much atm.

    It also works in our favor that alot of teams have given up on trying to win right now. Butler's age lines up with our window perfectly, but for rebuilding teams he's considered old.

    I guess all the talk about EG starting was just the Rockets trying to increase his value...

    Well at least it doesn’t sound like we’re out of it yet. Kings need to get involved it seems.

    Phoenix could help us as well. Help them in return by getting them Tyus Jones who they reportedly want at PG.

    Unless Towns improves his defense, the Wolves are better served using him as an offensive-minded PF, flanked by an elite rim protector at center. If motivated (a big if), Whiteside is an elite rim protector.

    However, such a trade relegates the Wolves best defender, Taj Gibson, to a bench role.

    Lol, are we just a throw away team here in these trade talks lol. So far Miami loves J-Rich, and I dont know if they want Bam at all, what ....do they want Justice Winslow too? Jeez man...

    Or is it that they want someone to take Dieng? I hate the waiting game.
