In the wake of the Damian Lillard trade on Wednesday, it’s time to talk about whether the Minnesota Timberwolves could be an option for Jrue Holiday after he landed with the un-competitive Portland Trail Blazers. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) argues why it’s extremely unlikely that Holiday ends up in Minnesota, primarily from an asset management and timing standpoint. But also, Mike Conley is a perfect fit for the Wolves. Additionally, the Timberwolves made yet another training camp signing, bringing in former Atlanta Hawks guard Tyrese Martin. Does he have a shot to compete for a roster spot?

Ben B…you are a professional and I am a big fan of yours and your podcast, man!
With 2 B's, 2 E's, CK, EN. Alright..!
KAT for Jrue and a couple of those first round picks Portland has. Then Leonard Miller gets more minutes at the four, and develops.
Holiday is also a WAY better defender than Conley at this point.
You are NUTS if you think Jrue Hoiliday is a marginal improvement over 36 year old Conley. Plus you keep Conley, and then have so much more options going with big or small lineups, depending on the opponent.
In a vacuum, Jrue is way better than MC. I love your show, but cmon man.
