No love for Butler or Faried?
God, that 2011 first round was such garbage outside of Irving, Leonard, and Thompson.

wtf, kanter, tristan thompson, valančiunas, vučevič, tobias harris, faried, jimmy butler and other players are legit.. still early to call superstars, but it was a really deep and strong draft..
Everybody is saying this guy can be very good...we will see...
Nah, don't think he's worth $6.3M next year and $8.2M the following. I was interested last year when there was still an option on him, and a chance to see what he had.
Wolves are weird. They picked up Williams $6.3M team option for 2014-2015 and are now giving him either DNP-CD or garbage time minutes. I get the logic behind picking the option would be that he is a trade asset but by not playing him, his trade value is dropping day by day. I'm still all for Spurs going after him.
Shved is a nice young player but the issue is that Spurs wouldn't have a lot of minutes to give him with Green, Ginobili and Belinelli on the team.
Will they trade him & Shved for Bonner, Baynes & De Colo?

Hey Chad, Love your stuff, What is your take on the Derrick Williams situation in Minnesota? Is he getting interest from other teams
Chad Ford (1:30 PM)
From everything I can gather, he's available. It's just about finding the right deal. Head coach Rick Adelman would prefer another veteran big to fill out the rotation. I think GM Flip Saunders wants a little more value. I know the Kings have a lot interest in Williams and might have the right combination of veterans to make a deal (Jason Williams? Chuck Hayes?).
i think bonner and fills could do it.
I honestly believe Williams would give us the final piece we need.
I still prefer Ariza and Amir Johnson over Derrick Williams.
tru dat and just think how pop can use a player like him in todays nba... I cant think of a player spurs had who can do wat he can tbh
If we're considering overpaid draft busts, I'd much rather have Evan Turner. He has actual basketball skills, not just physical ones.
Oh, and lol, T'Wolves. This is a perfect example of everyone in an organization NOT being on the same page. The only time DW ever played was when others were injured. Adelman does not like him, and has never liked him. He can't shoot, and is an unwilling passer, making him a terrible fit for their offense, and frankly ours.

Derrick Williams run in Minnesota is 99.9 percent over...details at 3
It didn't looked good at all for him lately. Adelman has gone with Dante Cunningham and Robbie Hummel instead of him so it's not like he wasn't playing because there were all stars taking his minutes.
Darren Wolfson @DarrenWolfson
Buzz from Mohegan Sun event over the weekend where #Twolves GM Milt Newton was: D-Will trade is close. Utah, Sac. NYK, Nets possible.
Dan Barreiro @DanBarreiroKFAN 16m @cosmicatomic Just laid them out: Deal all but done for defensive player that will not blow your mind from name standpoint. Almost no value.
Hayes/Outlaw/MBah a Moute??

Would have been hilarious if the Nyets traded AK47 back to Minny and he had to play there for 3M after opting out of 10M.
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
Timberwolves, I'm told, are in advanced discussions with Sacramento on a deal that would swap Derrick Williams for Luc Mbah A Moute
so true.
Is Luc at least an ending contract, because he would appear to be at least as poor a fit in Adelman's offense as DW was.
Lol, teams swapping the two combo-forwards I coveted the most in the off-season.
Although you have to think that Bonner would have been as enticing as LRMaM had the Spurs offered him.
