I posted this on the trade board too.

A Timberwolves insider tells me the 4 team trade involving MN, Miami, Toronto, and New York likely won't happen (Donyell Marshall & Eddie Jones to MN, Latrell Sprewell to Miami, Jalen Rose to NY, & Penny Hardaway to the Raptors)...this person puts the chances at 20% because 4 team deals rarely happen...and there potentially is a better Spree deal out there. This person does expect a Sprewell deal to go down and said keep an eye on Boston & Memphis. The Grizzlies might be willing to give up Lorenzen Wright & Bonzi Wells...the reason being - Jerry West wants to clear cap space. Wells making $7.7 million this season and has a team option on his deal for next year at $8.4 million...Wright making $7.15 this season and is on the hook for $7.7 millon next year... so you would be asking Glen Taylor to take back decent money. Personally, I would be surprised if Jerry West in Memphis did that deal...still think Boston may end up being the partner...and working on the specifics with the Celtics, but believe Gary Payton and/or Ricky Davis would be in the package. Kevin McHale also continues to call New Jersey, asking about Jason Kidd.

Spree for Wells and Wright

Wells can replace Spree and Wright would be a decent C to go with KG.

Spree for Payton and Davis and fillers

I like Davis. A lot of people don't, but he is still young and can improve.

Kidd doesn't seem likely, he has said he doesn't want a trade.

Thoughts?

well i think we can use the cap relief our selves. Now that spree has had 29 and 25 his last 2 games. I say you trade someone like troy or wally.

Now that spree has had 29 and 25 his last 2 games, I think this is the best time to trade him when people think he's still got good value. He's most definitely not going to keep this up and I think it's best to trade him right now when his value is still decent.

Even with Spree's contract off the books we are still over cap, so might as well trade him.

I agree trade him while he is hot.

The way I see it, the only 1 for 1 deal out there involving Rose that makes sense
is Minny
Spree for Rose
better for TO expiring contract
better for Minny (my opinion) Rose is a better team player, more of a post up guy, who will be clutch in the playoffs, and i think compliments Garnett and Wally more then Spree because he will stretch the D more and be looking for the dish off more (its almost teh same situation Rose is in now, Wally is Marshall and KG is Bosh) so we know Rose is really effective in that formation
Minny is over the cap next year with or without Spree anyways so why not take on Rose

McHale doens't like Rose AT ALL as a basketball player, so don't expect a trade for him.
