Yes, but not just that. There's the sketchy night club he ran in a strip mall with his brothers too. I'm not saying he's a knucklehead, but he ain't a choir boy.
Didn't know about that one, what is the story there?

So do we sign or trade or just let him go?

*Edit: Looks like the TWolves are over the salary cap

Has to be a sign and trade, they are way over the cap.

Yep, they would have to dump several players.

Their team payroll is $70 million, the cap is at $63 million. And they're not going to be able to shed $22 million.

Thank you, Timberwolves. This might get resolved soon.

Windhorst reporting the same:

Wolves have a few pieces I'd be happy to take. The issue is a few of them can't be traded as part of a package for a little while.

I'll be happy to have this resolved. If we get anything decent it is a win. Bledsoe, get ready to get booed in Phoenix this season.

What's to stop the Suns from matching? Or are we already beyond that?

If they agree to a sign & trade with Minnesota they can't back out on the agreement per NBA rules.

If there's no sign & trade agreement there's no way Minnesota can make a max offer unless they shed about $20 million in salaries without taking back anything in return.

I think because it's a sign and trade offer, that the Suns either accept or not. I imagine that the Suns are a little tired of this, but I hope that they have more patience and foresight than Suns fans like myself, who is ready to get nearly anything and move on.

Thanks Bobster. That makes sense.

How about a S&T where we get LaVine and Pekovic? I don't think there's a chance we get Wiggins.

I think we will have to wait few years untill we get this chance while Eric Bledsoe recovers from his third knee surgery.

Oh, yeah. Also get the protection removed from the Minny first rounder.
