Luke Ridnour - G - Timberwolves
The Wolves may be discussing a trade sending Luke Ridnour and Derrick Williams to an unknown team for an unknown player or players, according to ESPN contributor Darren Wolfson.
Wolfson speculates that Anderson Varejao could be the target of David Kahn's ongoing trade talks, though he stresses that is just a guess. It's clear that Minnesota is willing to part with Williams, last year's No. 2 overall pick, but his constant inclusion in talks can't be improving Kahn's leverage around the league. We'll soon find out if there's anyting to the Ridnour/D-Will rumors.

Did you ever think that CLE may be the team that started it?   I know they wanted Williams bad during his draft year.

I'd like to see Varejao on a team competing for title.  He seems even more psycho(in a good way) on a team that matters.  The wolves are still a few steps away.

Varejao would be perfect for the Minnesota team. He'd be the perfect sixth man and backup PF/C behind Kevin Love and Nikola Pekovic.

Derrick Williams is a hefty price to pay though. Still very early in his career.

They might end up with a team over there if they keep this up.  Some nice pieces in the rotation and a good coach.  Roy might win them a couple of games before he falls apart in December.  Their F/C rotation looks nice and scrappy, and could make them dangerous.

Yeah Williams will be a good role player in his career. He has the ability to put the ball on the floor and shoot and is really athletic.
