In what is sure to go down in history as “The Antoine Walker Trade”… Minnesota and Memphis have swapped 8 players in a blockbuster deal that also involves relatively unknown guys named Mayo and Love:
Two league sources told ESPN.com that the Wolves have reached an agreement in principle with the Memphis Grizzlies that will send the draft rights to Mayo, Marko Jaric, Antoine Walker and Greg Buckner to the Grizzlies in return for the draft rights to Kevin Love, Mike Miller, Brian Cardinal and Jason Collins.
I actually think Minnesota looks better this year. Al Jefferson, Kevin Love, Mike Miller, Randy Foye, Corey Brewer, Ryan Gomes. That’s not a bad squad. It’s not necessarily a playoff squad… but it’s not top 3 pick territory either.
The Grizz have a ton of guard right now. They’ll be moving at least one over the summer.
And then there’s Antoine. Oh ‘Toine… you’ve gone from All Star to journeyman in such a short amount of time. I only hope your obscene amounts of cash can help comfort you as your career limps to an end.
AAhh, leave Toine alone. He got his ring, he helped us get to the conference finals, he acted like he was going to fight Shaq once (that was funny), and load of cash. I’d take him back if Memphis releases him, for the absolute minimum.
Where’s are 7 footer?
He’s in Turkey
minnesota also has telfair. and they don’t have gerald green.
good things.
Yeah, you forgot Telfair. I think he’s a restricted free agent, but I mean he’s not the type of player that the T-wolves are going to let another team steal away.
Yeah… I “forgot” Telfair.
Actually… he played well for them last season.
im not sure i like the kevin love big al pair, those two will be great on the offense together but their d will lack because of the pair
their both power forwards so one will be playing out of position, if they could get a true center they would have a great front line of the future
I also second the “leave ‘Toine alone” sentiment. He played hard to get a ring, got it and lost all motivation. Besides a possible fear of getting robbed again, I’m sure he sleeps soundly at night.
gerald green is a all right player.who will need those skills.toine,mayo,brown,gay and jaric could be a good hook up
