The 2nd Annual u/TheNotoriousJN Trade Deadline Megathread



Good morning! With 2 days left until the deadline, it is time to post the mega thread for everyone to discuss rumours, hopes and trades that have gone on around the league. This thread will be updated every time news comes out about the Wolves and every time a trade occurs around the league. Naz Reid.

  1. Damn I thought this thread was going to be about where we thought u/TheNotoriousJN would be traded

  2. notthebestchristian

    > signs are that he wants too much money.

    My understanding is Connelly hasn’t even approached DLo about an extension, so is this a FO leak by the Wolves to try to soften the blow when we let him walk for nothing?

  3. thiswasmy19thchoice

    It’s gonna be so hard to pull off a decent trade with no draft capital and most of the league still in the playoff hunt.
