Is it true that Ray is going to Minnesota for Wesley Johnson and Luke Ridnour? I just heard it on talk radio...it would make sense I guess.  Also a Boston 2nd round pick was thrown in?

i havent heard anything about that, and i love ray but god i would do it... wesley johnson has mad potential and ridnour would be a bomb backup pg. i would have felt much better having him to start yesterday over bradley.

thats a great trade

just a sports talk radio show...late night espn radio??  I know Johnson has been a bust for Minnesota and Ridnour is a solid veteran, and Ray might fit in well with Rubio and Love...I don't know...but they said it was almost a done deal??

sounds like a good deal to me if true, Johnson has skills and Ridnour is a great backup guard. Ray would help the T-Wolves out big time.

I guess we will see.  It sounds like a win-win for both teams!

was it an idea or a rumor?  that's pretty critical with these things

Wow ...if thats true ...DA didn't waste no time once he had the green light.  ;D

Can't comment "HOW GOOD" it is for us, as I'm not familuar with the players.  Hate to see Ray go, but it maybe time??

I don't know I just heard a couple of guys on the radio, ESPN Radio, and they were talking about it saying that if Ridnour accepts his trade clause than it's like a done deal

I am pretty that salaries don't match up.  Ray makes 10 and I think has a 15% kicker.  Ridnaur and Johnson bring back only 7.6 million.

keep your ears open, because like I said I just caught like the last couple moments of the conversation and I'm not sure exactly what the station was...but whatever.  I guarantee it sounds to good to be true??  Let me know if anyone hears anything else
