Default Small trade for defense

Just spitballing an idea I had for a small trade that might help us grab two or three extra wins this season on the defensive end...


I've been a Mbah a Moute fan for quite a while and I think the defensive punch he'd bring off the bench could have been the difference in a few of our recent close losses that came off of huge blown leads. Minnesota traded for him about two months ago and Adelmann clearly doesn't have plans to use him (he's gotten 7 DNP-CDs and 5 other games where he's played less than 10 minutes). Despite the small amount of playing time he's gotten recently, I think the reasons for us wanting a player with his skillset are very obvious. I think Luc would fit right in here.

Minnesota is currently 22nd in 3PT FG%, and they're 11th in 3PA per game, so clearly he would fill a need for them and fit into their system. Minnesota has been absolutely rotten in close games this season so I think they'd welcome the addition of a playmaker like Vince who can also knock down open shots. He gives them some much-needed veteran experience.

Anyone interested in this trade?

I wouldn't be against it, but I don't think Cuban would be interested. Cuban is a huge Vince supporter and wants to see him retire as a Mav.

We could get more for Vince IMHO.

Same time we lose too much creating offense AND lose cap space. No go. Maybe if we could dump Ellington too.

Luc has ZERO offense...its worse than Crowders. Btw the Wolves gave up Derrick Williams for him...so they wont trade him again for any crap (like Ellington)

Cubes wouldnt pull the trigger on that. I agree we need more defense, but I think we could do a tad better for VC.

Na Vince still helps to win more Games on Offense than Mbah a Moute could on the Defensive End.

I know Vince takes stupid shots and struggles with it often but he can still score 15-20 on any given night.

FWIW, ten weeks later, Vince has rounded back into shape and I'm glad we didn't make this deal. That said, I'd love to add Mbah a Moute (and bring back Corey Brewer!) this summer if the Wolves look at blowing things up.
