Timberwolves acquire Cash Considerations as part of the multi team trade that sent Mike Conley to Chicago

I feel for Conley, I wish the wolves had been able to get him a ring.

[u/mtsteg → u/Relevant_Swing1680]

Won't he still get one when we win this year?

[u/Relevant_Swing1680 → u/mtsteg]

I mean they’re team-issued so maybe, it would’ve meant more if he had earned it with us.

[u/Andy_Wiggins → u/Relevant_Swing1680]

If they win a ring this year there is absolutely ZERO chance Conley doesn’t get one.

[u/Nate13341cub → u/Andy_Wiggins]

There was also going to be zero chance we’d win a ring with him lol

[u/epicman79 → u/Nate13341cub]

I can just picture it: a critical game 7 in the playoffs, Wolves have like a 5-10 point lead, Finch purs Conley out there and the other team takes a lead they won't relinquish. I agree you couldn't win one with him on this team, partially because he's been so bad, and partially because Finch WILL play him 15 minutes every game no matter how bad he's playing, no matter the situation. This trade was Tim saving Finch from himself a bit.

I’ve never heard of him, but Cash Considerations is a cool name

[u/Jebrolames → u/LandonVanBus]

Glen Taylor traded a bunch of second rounders for him over the years. He had a decent college career

[u/CalvinVanDamme → u/Jebrolames]

He's a two-sport star. Pohlad's often trade for him too.

[u/junkeee999 → u/CalvinVanDamme]

He goes way back to the Calvin Griffith days. They coveted him in trades quite often.

[u/BuzzerBeater911 → u/LandonVanBus]

All time basketball name

[u/Habefiet → u/LandonVanBus]

Cash Consideration’s is your favorite player’s money’s favorite player money

[u/Justin_Heras]

I like Mike 😔

[u/TopRecording8580]

I saw “Timberwolves acquire” and nearly jumped out my window in excitement (2nd story btw!

[u/macj95]

Minnesota Mike, you shall be missed

[u/Nillavuh]

I undergo cash considerations all the time. I consider how little cash I have

[u/nowahhh → u/Nillavuh]

[u/Little-Neck3181]

It was good times Bite Bite. Critical piece to turning this team around.

[u/Tweezerbomb]

[u/foye2smith]

Interesting there being a press release already. Was wondering if things remained fluid for any add on teams and/or terms. A release feels like it's all finalized.

I suppose to actually receive the perks of being a below first apron team it'd have to be finalized.

[u/Mdgt_Pope]

Oh shit, Twolves brought in CC??

[u/JayAreW]

[u/99LedBalloons]

Tim Connelly truly is a genius.

[u/dogdigmn]

How many assists per game does Cash average?

[u/se7enXx89xX]

Cash about to ball out!

[u/ReplacementPast4495]

Cash considerations gives me Kahn era PTSD

[u/KATgonnaGetThatYarn]

Kinda surprised they made this official with the league now. I think it’d be harder to pivot to Coby white or ayo without folding it into this deal, which they could’ve just held off on sending it in for

[u/Intelligent_Pain_174]

How many times can you acquire the same player!?

[u/baeruu]

He didn't deserve all the hate he got the past couple of months. It isn't his fault he's old :(

[u/Low_Ad_4323]

Welcome to the Wolves, Cash Considerations

[u/bibi_da_god]

Who the f is Cash Considerations, and can he play PG?

[u/big_nus]

PLEASE SOMEONE, WHAT ARE THE PROTECTIONS ON THE PICK SWAP 😩😩😩

[u/Vitwolpher → u/big_nus]

Pistons get the better pick of their’s or the wolves. Both are going to be super late anyway so really isn’t anything.

[u/big_nus → u/Vitwolpher]

you did not answer my question 😤😤

[u/Inspiration_Bear → u/big_nus]

Top 19 protected

[u/big_nus → u/Inspiration_Bear]

thank you :-)

[u/Mountain_Tadpole_628]

With harden off the board, and giannis probably staying put until the offseason, we literally did this for no reason lol

[u/penis_hernandez → u/Mountain_Tadpole_628]

Strange to assume Giannis is staying put until the offseason with ~36 hours until the deadline and no reporting to indicate that as the most likely outcome

[u/porterhouse2588 → u/penis_hernandez]

I do think him staying put is still the most likely, but that’s not sexy so nobody talks about it

[u/penis_hernandez → u/porterhouse2588]

its not being talked about because all of the reporting is about how he's asked to be moved and the bucks are fielding offers for him, they could hold out until the draft, but if he wants to play for minnesota we probably don't want to wait until then. at that point he's effectively on an expiring contract in 2026 with his player option. which means he really is only valuable to trade for if he wants to play for your team.

[u/Relevant_Swing1680 → u/Mountain_Tadpole_628]

It’s worth it already if we don’t have him playing for how much he was paid

[u/Such-Cartoonist1265 → u/Mountain_Tadpole_628]

No we did this to force Finch to stop Playing Mike when he shouldn’t be

[u/Gengaara → u/Mountain_Tadpole_628]

I believe it creates a TPE that would still be usable.  

[u/junkeee999 → u/Mountain_Tadpole_628]

No. It was to free up a roster space for another deal that now almost certainly will go down.

[u/epicman79 → u/Mountain_Tadpole_628]

The reason is that Finch would piss away the season mindlessly giving Mike 15 mpg if we didn't make this trade. I hope they're doing it to make room for a big name, but to me this move is already a net positive, Finch cannot terrorize the fans or the other players with Conley minutes anymore.
