Anybody want Bonzi?
Anyone think this is a good idea? I don't, but maybe that's only because I've always thought the guy had about four screws loose.

Re: Anybody want Bonzi?
I love Bonzi but do we have ANY money left? Maybe a S&T with Sacramento?

Re: Anybody want Bonzi?
If he's a free agent now, how does Sacramento figure into this?
...and who would the Wolves trade away to get him?

Re: Anybody want Bonzi?
Supposedly Sacramento doesn't want to take on any more salary. We have a $4.2Mil trade exception still, so that could be used. I would be pretty surprised if we could get him, and pretty happy too.

Re: Anybody want Bonzi?
If it was a S&T, I'm assuming that Ricky would probably be in the deal...and I think I'd be alright with that. For all of his reputation as a locker room cancer, I've always loved his game. Bonzi's other option is probably to sign a one year deal for whatever team can offer him the most (which won't be much $$), and try to parlay his play this season into a nice deal next summer. But I'm assuming that we don't have any money left at all to offer players, because McHale would have jumped at the chance. He seems to like those talented, headcase types.

Re: Anybody want Bonzi?
I'd love to get Bonzi, he was a monster on the glass last season, and could play SF for us at 6'8'', we would have to use a sign and trade but what would SAC want in return?

Re: Anybody want Bonzi?
its not an ideal pick up for the wolves, but its talent that you cant really say no to..
you could find a place for bonzi in this squad somewhere, try trading ricky for a big maybe?
hed bring a lot of useful tools to this squad, and help out KG on the boards.
not enough money, and not really anything to trade for him though (they may want griffin, but i wouldnt want to do that), so i doubt its gonna happen

Re: Anybody want Bonzi?
I'm reading that the Nuggets are prepared to go all-out for Bonzi. I say Let 'em have him, but y'all who know the Wolves a lot better than I do seem to think he could be useful in Minnesota. Ricky Davis as the trade, hmmm? Assuming you DO want Bonzi, losing Davis for him is a pretty good trade for the Wolves. Considering that MLE, any real chance the Wolves make a serious push to get him?

Bonzi would be a great pickup for the Nuggets. That said, all of the Bonzi in the world would still not be enough to change the fact that they spent an assload of cash this summer on a team that basically ensures that the Northwest Division remains a non-factor for years to come.
Anyways, if we could get Bonzi for Ricky, I'd jump at it. But I really can't see it happening...unfortunately.

Re: Anybody want Bonzi?
NOT RICKY! Eddie Griffin?
EDIT: Actually trading Ricky for a big and signing Bonzi would be fine with me.

Re: Anybody want Bonzi?
If you can get a big for Jaric or Ricky, you can try to have Bonzi...
But if you can get a S&T done with Kings, you will be better with Maggette (trading Ricky for Maggs)

Re: Anybody want Bonzi?
right now ricky is better on this team than mags or bonzi, even though i like both of them more as players.
without knowing how foye will go we need ricky's scoring more than anything at the SG/SF spot so i wouldnt want to give him up straight for either mags or bonzi... that and maggette is an injury worry.
but eddie for bonzi and ricky for a decent big would be fine with me
