Game Challenges

#1 Design a trade proposal that should/would/could happen. I will judge them based on realism, whether they make sense for all teams involved, creativity, and awesomeness. The trade has to successfully work in the ESPN Trade Machine to be considered. This doesn't need to be done by tonight's game, but rather before the trade deadline on March 15 or whenever it is. Also you do not have to involve the T-Wolves in the trade if you don't want to. It can be between any teams you want.

1st place - 5 timberpups
2nd place - 3 timberpups
3rd place - 2 timberpups

Wolves 92
Suns 111

Wolves 111
Suns 92

The Suns aren't that good, we can win this. But that's assuming we have a healthy K-Lav, which we don't. And its the third game in three days. Not a good recipe.

Wolves 97 - Suns 106

Here's the front page live chat game thread:

T-Wolves at Suns Live Chat Game Thread 3/1

And here's the link to the online game feed for anyone that can't watch on TV: www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/110675/1/wat...ta-timberwolves.html

If Love plays, we probably have a good chance of keeping it close and winning...if Love doesn't play, we are going to get beat up badly...Simple as that

wolves 95
suns 91

Bonus: nash and rubio are gunna put on a show! 10+ assists for both

The Suns aren't good anymore. Minutes have been managed well by virtue of polarizing blowouts the last two nights.

Wolves 100
Suns 95

Bonus - Love plays - 24+ 20+ game

Interim trade proposal: Wes Johnson for SCALABRINE and the rights to swap 2nd rounders in 2014.

No line for this one... K. Love's status is up in the air, but my guess is that he won't play?

Phx hasn't played since the break. We have played twice in a row already.

Wolves 102
Suns 106

Here is what I came up with for my trade:
espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7xscqcd
(Josh Smith/Teague for Nash/Dudley/Redd)

Atlanta gets better now and mixes it up (finally), and adds a winner and leader, Phx gets a PG for the future and Josh Smith. This probably favors Phx since Nash is a free agent soon, but you never know, I could see Atlanta possibly doing it. Maybe you sub in Hinrich for Teague and add Warrick to the mix as well to make it so PHX isn't getting quite as much. So Roundhouse, if you like that one better consider my 2nd trade:

Josh Smith/Hinrich for Nash/Dudley/Warrick

Bonus: Gortat & Peck engage in an epic battle of Euro supremacy for combined stats of 40+/20+

i propose 2 trades: 1st being:

Twolves get: Bag of Chips
Lakers get: Wes Johnson

2nd being:

Paul Pierce for D-Will and Beasley, why not?
espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=78h6ome

Sure it hurts the Celtics wins, but they are rebuilding with youth in D-Will and even beasley if they keep him, and if they let him go then they open up cap room to go after FAs. Meanwhile we get a badly needed SF that would fit great. WIN WIN for both teams!

Wolves 90
Suns 87

Wolves - 103
Suns - 93

Suns haven't played yet after the All-star game so they have a 7 game rest, hopefully they are rusty.

Bonus: Rubio gets out of his damn funk and shoots 75% from the field while going for 18 points
Winning Trade Idea

Also Lakers get 2 2nd round picks from us
And Houston gets our 1st round Utah protected pick to take Wesley off our hands

then follow that trade with this one
MP just turned the wolves into title contenders

REasoning behind this trade: Instead of losing Batum for nothing we take him off their hands and give up our most valuable trade chip who they can use to trade for a decent pg

Wolves 94
Suns 90

Bonus: Despite the loss, Gortat has a positive +/-

But one time Derrick Williams had an unbelievably good game so they have to hold on to him for 2 years while his value goes down and hope that he can repeat that performance.

Here, take your pick:
