The other "hot" rumor is Shumpert from the Cavs. I'd be on board with this (at least more so than the Rose idea), but I don't see it as a massive upgrade by any means. Rubio is going one way or the other by the sound of things.

What seems a bit strange to me is that all of the trade rumors involve getting rid of one PG to land another PG. I haven't really taken a look at who might be available in a trade, but am I the only one that seems to think Dunn and Tyus can handle the PG duties for the foreseeable future?  Obviously there will be growing pains, but it's not like we're on the verge of something big this season.

 

Seems like we could use some help at PF and SG more than the PG position.

I am all for getting rid of Rubio but you cant trade him just for the sake of trading him. Rose will bring a lot of garbage a young twolves team doesnt need. Plus he couldn't break through a wet paper bag with out getting injured.

 

Granted Rubio has had his share of injuries, but did not Rose miss almost a season and a half with knee issues, and hasn't he had other issues this season?

Rose would be a rental player.  He's a free agent at the end of the year so they would essentially be trading Rubio for Rose's expiring contract.  With 2 young PG's on the roster that they want to get more playing time I don't see them investing long term in Rose by resigning him, and for sure not at the price tag he's sure to demand. 

 

I'm not sure what the Wolves financial situation is going into next off season and how desperate they are to free up some money.  


If we trade Rubio it would be nice to get a useful part either in a player or a draft pick and not just an expiring contract.

Any combo of Dunn/Jones is not something you can build a contender around. Either could eventually become a decent backup; neither looks to be leadership/starter material. I would have no problem with trading Rubio for another PG, as long as it is the right dude. 

Much like Rubio, Rose just isn't worth the salary he will command.

Well the trade deadline was a dud. Lots of talk and no action, like this snowstorm that was supposed to bury most of the state.

 

Considering the names they were throwing around, I think it's a good thing nothing happened. Now to push for that 8 seed...

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
