According to IAMAGM, they did...

The Minnesota Timberwolves declined a trade offer to acquire Andrew Bynum. The deal likely would have included Derrick Williams, who has been at the centerpiece of Timberwolves trade offers for Pau Gasol over the last few months. General Manager David Kahn is confident in Nikola Pekovic at the center position, who could be in line for a huge contract extension next offseason.

Wow if Kahn really turned that down he's even dumber than I thought. Bynum would have turned us into a real contender.

They run a basketball news website. I'm actually researching to see how legit they are. But they've never steered me wrong in the past.

**They received this story from Charley Walters of the Pioneer Press

Just for Derek Williams and filler or what?

If so, that's the dumbest non-trade ever. Damnit, Bynum and Love would have been absolutely absurd awesome together.

:( :( :(

No surprise. Remember, Bynum is black.

I guess there's a fear he wouldn't re-sign in Minnesota after the end of the year. But having the leverage of being able to offer the most money has to count for something

Oh if it's from Charley Walters then it's probably not true. He just makes stuff up most of the time.

Yeah, it totally means something. Plus he'd be the first/second option on the team with K-Lav. And I'm sure he'd rather play with K-Lav and Ricky than the group of dudes in Philly.

I bet he would have resigned, especially when we make the playoffs with him at the helm.

Sigh. :(

P.S. But he's black, as Jibaro correctly noted.

I wonder if this is the move Kahn was talking about when he said they may do something big?

I'm guessing the Lakers demanded more than just Derrick Williams. They would have had to for salaries to match, for starters. We'll ever know.

Seems very likely. Bynum makes $16.5m so assuming Derrick is involved we'd need to find an additional $8m to give up. Very hard to do with so much of our money spent on recently signed guys.

Plus Bynum is as much of a wild card as there is.

I'm guessing it was both D Will and Pek at the very least. (A trade I definitely would have done by itself assuming all the other signings still happen).

But even then an additional piece would have had to be involved. Bynum makes too much money for the current Wolves not to end up in tax hell down the line. I can understand why this wasn't on Kahn's radar. Hard trade to pull off. Would have been easier a month ago pre-AK47/Roy/Shved etc.

So, here is a question:, would you rather have had
1. The current Offseason?
2. Wolves trading D-Will/Pek and change for Bynum and rounding out the roster with minimum/bit guys? But not getting AK47 et. al.?

I think the production and depth added was a better outcome for us than a situation that would have allowed Bynum to be a Wolf.

Bynum is a dumb player and wouldn't fit well with our super inteliegent guys like Ricky, Love, Roy... We already got rid of one dumbass, no need to get another one.
