If the rumors are to be believed, involving Minnesota would be a poor idea. Just go for Smith straight up and hopefully save an asset or two from going to Minnesota for nothing. I think the Hawks would be just as likely to take JO as Beasley, meaning the Celtics would be better off ignoring the Wolves entirely in this scenario.
I wonder how in the world the rumors are true, though. Without Rondo being involved, there doesn't seem to be any incentive for the Hawks to trade with us.
