Minnesota Timberwolves to open against Sacramento Kings

cardinal, booth, the utah first round and the boston first round to nets for devin harris, if they can sign him for four additional years . something like like 30 million (9,8,7 then 6 the last year).
would most likely finally lose the pick to the clippers, but still have a real nice one coming from the heat.
long shot, but if beasley turns out to be a bust and waade leaves heat,
pick wolves get from heat could be a very good one.
utah and boston picks should be low first rounders.
whats to lose ?
sign foye to about the same thing and this team could be good for a long time.

or maybe collins and and either boston first or utah pick to rockets for shane battier.
houston could use a back-up for yao.
may have to throw in the second round pick rockets owe wolves.
send both firsts if rocket would take cardinal instead of collins.
a bird in the hand.

dmcclay - I always enjoy your posted ideas/dreams, but this one is one of the most far-fetched yet.

A) The Nets would never trade Harris for those two low picks and salary fillers - he was the jewel in the Kidd trade and played well for them late last year;
B) I assume you think a contract should be structured that way so the Wolves don't lose their salary cap space in a couple of years -? The problem is that there's no way a player would sign that deal, because their next contract max is a percentage of what they made in the last year of their previous deal; and
C) Did you finally give up on Hinrich?

nope, haven't given up on hinrich.
just keep throwing ideas out there.some are better than others. ok, some are OUT THERE.

That's alright. Some are good, and I enjoy the ideas. Personally, I would like Hinrich, but I'm not sure he would be worth the salary. Telfair might be the pass-first guy they need so Foye can move off the ball, but they're too small to play together too much and would only exacerbate the problem of the small front line. Foye and Miller together, on the other hand, are a big backcourt, and Gomes is a big SF. What the Wolves really need is a huge, defensive- and rebound-minded center for 20 minutes a game (Tyson Chandler's role in NO; Diop would have been perfect) to put in when the Wolves want to go with a smaller lineup at the 1/2/3 spots.

yeah, it seems like the wolves current problem is the median. a telfair, foye, miller lineup is quite small, and a foye, miller, gomes lineup is quite big...i see the drawn that mcfail has to all these swing players, but having all swing players makes it so no one is in a completely comfortable and set position. what ever happened to the standard?

did anyone else see the headline a week or so ago about olympiakos (sp.) outwardly stating that they were going to make a serious run at lebron in 2010? no salary cap over there...they could offer him a buttload of $$$ and he has always said he wanted to be a GLOBAL icon...i just can't see it happening though.
