May 2017 Minnesota Timberwolves Wiretap

Spurs, Clippers, Suns, Wolves, Knicks, Heat Make Offers For Kyrie Irving

Jul 28, 2017 8:53 AM

There were approximately 20 teams who made inquiries to the Cleveland Cavaliers upon learning of Kyrie Irving's trade requests but far fewer have delivered legitimate proposals.

The San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix Suns, Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks and Miami Heat have made offers to the Cavaliers for Irving.

The Cavaliers are seeking a package similar to what the Denver Nuggets received for Carmelo Anthony in 2011. Denver acquired a combination of young players, win-now veterans and draft picks. Rival teams are instead looking at what the Wolves gave up for Jimmy Butler.

Koby Altman is taking a measured approach to negotiations.

"I'll say this about [Altman]," one rival GM interested in Irving told ESPN. "He isn't overwhelmed. He's showing real poise."

Andrew Wiggins, Wolves Holding Extension Talks

Jul 20, 2017 9:58 AM

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Andrew Wiggins are negotiating a contract extension.

The max extension for Wiggins would be worth approximately $148 million over five seasons.

"We're working on it right now," said Tom Thibodeau.

The Wolves can have up to two five-year "designated" extensions as Karl-Anthony Towns will become eligible for an extension in 2018.

When Minnesota signed Kevin Love to an extension coming off his rookie deal, David Kahn saved the five-year extension for Ricky Rubio as teams could only have one designated extension under the previous CBA.
