I think Johnson kind of stinks.  He's already 24 as a second year player, so he's got less room to grow.

On Minny I like Love, Rubio, Randolph, Derrick Williams, but I don't think Ray brings any of them back in a deal.

I love the idea of Johnson, and he has great wingspan and defensive potential. But he's already 24 (!) and not going to score much.

Doesn't sound like Ainge's kind of guy.

are you sure? From your description he sounds like Bradley ;D

Yeah, that's not encouraging at all, is it?

hahahaha. Are you guys serious?!?! Ray Allen gets only Wesley Johnson and Ridnour? COME ON MAN!!! What a ridiculous offer. Wesley Johnson sucks. I'm fine with trading Allen for the right offer but this is a joke.

this trade is garbage. i would be so p---ed at DA if all we got for ray was that trash in return.  if anyone's getting traded to Minnesota, it should be KG so he can retire a Timberwolf.

The team that may actually go all in for a Ray trade is chicago.  Getting Ray would lock up their shot at a couple of titles.

Ray is 37, what exactly do you expect to get for him at this point?

do you guys have any idea how bad Wes Johnson is? There's  a good chance his team option would be declined next year

He's 37, but he's more in shape than many early 30 year olds. He makes more sense to a contender than PP does. I agree with Chicago possibly being the best team to get him.

Asik and Deng for Allen and Bradley?

Deng is much better than Ray at this point and Asik is much more valuable than Bradley, and I'm generally an optimist.

  • We may as well put Tyrion in at center.

If you put yourself in Chicago's shoes you would not do that trade. Deng is in his prime, Asik is the top 3 backup center in this league, and judging from how people love to bash bradley,he's not very valuable.
I like Marcus Smart

there is no way the bulls give up Deng for Ray Allen. I would hope for something like Asik and Gibson/Butler for Ray and a 2nd.

Breaking News should be removed from this title.  Ridnour and Johnson both played in the Wolves loss tonight and there isnt a link anywhere online.
