Hey there, Hoopers. I hope you're enjoying the season so far. As you probably guess, I read this site on a daily basis, looking for feedback and insight from people who know and care about the Wolves almost as much as I do. 

I was inspired by this post from yesterday, and I have a hypothetical toss-out to you:

Glen Taylor recently mentioned that he thought we had the assets and cap room to bring in an All-Star in free agency or trade. He's right, of course, but I always thought we could bring in at least two big-time players. But then I thought, "Hey, why not shoot for the moon, and try to bring in three of the best players in the NBA right here to the Twin Cities?"

Rather than wear out my fingers on ESPN's trade machine (besides, that jerk Bill Simmons is always using up the available bandwidth), I thought I'd check with my favorite Wolves fans first. Here are your parameters:

1. We have to get Wade, LeBron, and Chris Paul on the Wolves roster.

2. It has to be done in a way that's at least mildly acceptable to each of their current teams--and fans.

3. Free agency, sign-and-trade, straight trades--whatever it takes

4. All of our current picks and players are available--including the rights to Rubio.

5. We still have to have a passable set of players left over to complement the Biggest Three Ever.

6. We'll take back a bad contract or two, but we'd like to stay around $85 million or so in annual salary for the coming years.

What have you got for me? The best answer gets the free tanning coupons that Marko Jaric forget to take out of his locker when he left.

Sincerely,

Definitely Not David Kahn
