DeROKI do not think that the Wolves have that much chances of attracting some big name player anyways, especially with KG gone now. History has proven over and over again that salary cap space alone does not make you score a quality free agent, it only makes you overpay for mediocre ones. Especially if you are a lottery team from Not-Phoenix without a superstar pointguard.

But maybe cap space enables us to lock up our prospects. And even if we would do that anyways. Why is it necessarily true that we could not attract a free agent when Theo's and Ricky's contracts come of the books? If Taylor is willing to spend over the cap, can' he do that for every player he likes? If I'm mistaken on that, please correct me.

And yes, trades are thinkable, although I can't think of any I'd like, that would be worth giving up some of the young players we got, but not all of them. Since we will no way in hell ever get a hall of fame level talent back in any trade, it just would not be worth emptying the bench for such a player. KG makes up for a whole lot of role players in Boston, but no one we will be able to get would do that.

Maybe Agent Zero can be had come trade deadline, although I wouldn't consider that a smart move for the Wolves, since he and Randy Foye are pretty much the same type of player...maybe Foye will be better or maybe not as good as Arenas, but playing on the same tam would surely prevent the world from finding out.

I agree with you there, Howl for that thought!! Just think about Lewis signing with Orlando this offseason! Ha.

What about Brand? Magette? Eventually one of the Baby Bulls might be ready to bolt...there are opportunities out there if the FO can continue to look for them.

Derok and Whiskey gotta stop the front the Front Office optimism... it makes me sad when I sit and ponder your great thoughts.
