  • Derrick Williams - fit with the Raps?

    Seems like Derrick Williams of the Timberwolves is close to asking for a trade.

    Should the Raps look at him? Seems he likes taking threes too. Might be a black Bargnani.

    Thoughts?

    I would love to have him. Maybe a 3 team trade:

    LAL gets Bargnani and Jose
    Minny gets Gasol
    TO gets Williams
    Mamba Mentality

      So we are down a PG? We need a legit second man If we lose Calderon Lucas hopefully can play like his late season Bull days he shows flashes of it from time to time.

          Strong inside scorer. Extremely athletic. Has capable range. Strong inside post scorer as well. Solid defender. Tweener. Very good potential, on this team, would be better suited playing the 3, allowing him to use his size and strength, and even though inconsistent outside shooting, he can be a threat. Average ball-handling and passing ability, and is solid without the ball. If we could, I wouldn't mind trying to send out Linas, Andrea and Jose to acquire possibly Williams, Ridnour while Gasol and Blake head over to Minny. (Correct me if it doesn't work).

            Athletic? Not really.



            Not even on the defensive end.

                  What are some deficiencies? Why isnt he being utilized by Minny?

                  Do we need a strong rebounding post SF who lacks a perimeter game when we have DD doing the same thing at SG?
                  Are there expectations of an improved 3pt shot for DW?

                        hahahaha who knows. LK seems fine playing a back-up, he's still young and im sure Minny would love his toughness.

                        All the other teams have legit SF/PFs. For sure here he'll be a starter. BC will be able to convince Pelinka with no trouble at all. Specially if Eddy puts in a good word.

                        I have a feeling if Minny does talk to the Raps, theyd want Davis. Are we prepared to give Eddy up?

                              You want to give up 2 major players on our team for Williams, a guy the T'wolves seem to be hoping to unload anyways?
