We need PEK period.

Zgoda says PEK is waiting for Howard to sign before he does anything.

no derrick williams for 1st rnd picks anywhere?... lakers or boston dont have any picks they willing to give up?... boston is blowing their whole roster up & im sure could use a d.williams + a luke ridnour/jjbarrea
There is info in this thread that will tell you what DW's trade value is. Its basically nothing, and it might even be negative. No other teams want to give us anything of value. Hopefully we can get rid of his contract so we can sign AK, but the odds of that happening seem slim. I think there are some people making decisions for the Wolves who over-value him still.

He does everything else well. We have a PF who is a very good 3 point shooter when he's healthy. It would be fun to see what this team could do with this lineup:
Rubio/Barea or Ridnour/Shved
Martin/Bud/Shved
AK47/Bud/Jellybelly/Shabust
Love/Cunningham/AK/C Johnson
PEL/Dieng/C Johnson
That's a solid starting lineup and we'd have a few good backups as well. I think we need to shed one of the backup PGs and DW for that to happen though.
It does sound like trading one of the backup PGs might happen.
