Any chance we sign Wes and trade AK?

Yeah, please pay attention to the story before wasting people's time with this. It's been reported by EVERYONE that the T-Wolves don't want to take on any salary. And we know they want draft picks.

I am paying attention to the story, I have been since it broke last night. I've been following on twitter, hoopshype, yahoo sports, and espn insider.

How do you propose they "buy him out" of his contract? I hear this all the time, like a player in the last year of a bloated contract HAS to take pennies on the dollar once traded to another team. Like it's in the CBA or something. Where do these ideas come from? AK's got what, $17.8 mil left next year? Sure, I bet he takes a cool $6 mil instead of the GUARANTEED 17.8 and now has to go find another job......that makes perfect sense. Oh, and Minny loves the idea of paying that 6mil too. Jesus Christ......

Yes! So they can get out from underneath Jefferson's and Session's deals!

Oh cool, wow I feel stupid........and AK, being AK, decides he'd like to pitch in and be a "team player" and help them do that by donating $10+ million to the cause? Does he ride his magical unicorn to the contract signing where he gives this money away too?

Well once AK is bought out he really has no choice...but I guess AK can go sign with whatever team he pleases...then by all means let him go and go resign Ronnie Brewer to be our starting 3 with part of the MLE.

If buying out AK is so easy, how about the Jazz do it and keep Tomic's rights?

It was just an idea for the Al Jefferson deal, and since the T'wolves were planning on going to sign Ridnour maybe there was more to the Jefferson to Utah deal.

You're literally without clue.......clueless. I'm clearly the loser in this since I'm trying to explain to you that this scenario doesn't happen.....but that's like explaining defensive hustle to CB. You win, AK apparently has no say in the matter on whether he gives away guaranteed money or not.
 
It's not the first time someone has been bought out from a giant contract like AK's ie. Ilgaukas, Ben Wallace, and etc...you act like it's never happened

And you're acting like it's completely up to the team whether or not their own contract gets bought out. The player has to agree to it! There's no way AK is going to take a buyout of $6M or so instead of keeping the whole $17.8M. That's not how it works. If a player is going to allow his contract to be bought out, at the very least he's going to demand something CLOSE to what he was getting anyway.

If AK is bought out, it must be a mutual decision. But it's not exactly a rare occurrence either.

I agree it's not really rare, but what is/would be rare is for a player in AK's position to do it....... extremely rare......... el chupacabra rare. It simply wouldn't happen.
 
Ok and by the time the T'Wolves bought AK out the deal would of been better with Dallas, unless they really want Tomic.
