Good article.. Alot of bad players, but guys who have a pulse.
I think our chances are better than 50% we make a small move before deadline

@ESPNSteinLine: Story posting now: ESPN sources say Wolves in active trade discussions on veteran swingman Corey Brewer with contenders Cavs and Rockets
Maybe we can get in on that

Chris Copeland has been balling this year. I'd like to somehow pick him up. Send EG home?

I don't see how we can pull that off right now without sending out Rivers or a full pu pu platter of players. It would be fairly easy if we could include Salmons, but he can't be traded now. Not sure when he's OK to be sent out

SG, chances are we aren't interested in anything other than SFs

I think he can be traded after Dec. 15th.

Maybe the Wolves will wait until then if we ask nicely.

Middleton would be a great fit for this team. He's a score with range.
He's fallen out of rotation in MIL, could be cheap.

I want Shabazz Muhammad. Go to be a way to get him on the Pelicans and give up Gordon

Corey Brewer doesnt play SF?
Posted on 11/16/14 at 5:16 pm to GynoSandberg
He's played all of his minutes this year at the SF position
Maybe he's a 3 guard

Some sites have him listed at SG, some have him at SF. Doesn't matter what he's listed as, though. He's 6'9" and plays hard D. I think he's more of a 3 anyways, and
he would be a good fit at SF for this team.

i dont think we have the pieces though

Yeah knew he was a long 2, but I confess not super familiar with his game. I know the guy is scrappy, but could he be what we need at the SF position? Or would he be another tweener 2/3 like Reke where we are still overmatched at that position..
Btw idk why I am being picky, who gives a frick what the position is if we can get a guy who has a pulse.

Scoring: B+
Brewer's 12.3 points per game on a career-high 48.1 percent shooting provided the second-best scoring average of his seven-year NBA tenure. The only other time Brewer contributed more (13 points per game), he was on his way out the door in Minnesota in 2009-10, when he was asked to take on a central role with little help available around him. This season, though, Brewer played within his own limits, sneaking out in transition for easy layups and dunks -- often after a floor-length Love outlet pass -- and passing up 3-point attempts for higher-percentage mid-range jumpers. He's still not much of an outside threat (28 percent from 3), but his attempt totals went down as he displayed better shot selection. It all culminated April 11 at the Target Center when Brewer scored a franchise-record 51 points in a win against Houston
Defense: B-
That Brewer was its closest thing to a lockdown defender last season speaks clearly to Minnesota's defensive deficiencies. The 6-foot-9, 185-pound agitator has garnered a reputation for making things difficult for opposing star scorers. He did at times in 2013-14, too, but not enough to prevent the Timberwolves from ranking as one of the NBA's least effective defenses. Brewer tied for fourth in the NBA with 1.9 steals per game but, as coach Rick Adelman was always quick to point out, generated many of his takeaways because he was too willing to gamble. There's no stat for open drives yielded as the result of feeling too opportunistic on the perimeter, but if there was, Brewer would likely rank high in that category, too.
Energy: A
Nothing got the Target Center crowd or the Timberwolves bench going quite like a Brewer fast-break slam did this season. The 28-year-old's infectious, unceasing smile rarely left his mouth -- even as the Timberwolves missed the playoffs for a 10th straight season -- and he quickly and easily assimilated into his job as the team's "energy guy." Brewer has never been afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve, and exuberant shows of emotion tend to rub off on his teammates.
Overall: B+
President of basketball operations Flip Saunders drew some criticism for splurging the team's mid-level salary cap exception on Brewer. Pundits and fans argued he hasn't done enough to merit a $5 million-per-year deal. That figure may be a bit high for a player with Brewer's ceiling, but at least he came close to reaching it last season. With a new coach and a healthier wing corps -- Budinger will be back along with Kevin Martin, Shabazz Muhammad and perhaps a draft pick or another free-agent signee -- next season could be much different. Brewer may be asked to move back to the bench, though he says he's just as comfortable there after starting only 19 games during his two seasons in the Mile High City.

Good stuff appreciate the find! He looks out of our range.. Maybe Demps can work his Dell magic
Posted on 11/16/14 at 6:29 pm to TigerinATL
While I don't think Dell's been perfect, I've been a supporter of his. With that being said, if he doesn't land a SF by this trade deadline, even one of the caliber which are listed, it will be a huge failure on his end. I wish we could have landed Copeland in FA last offseason when there were rumors about us signing him.

Maybe you could help facilitate a deal and find something useful in return.

I bet the Cavs would trade us LeBron
