Rubio / Lavine - Muhammad - Wiggins - Towns - Dieng


Interesting ... but we're not getting that pick next year.

They'll get rid of Pekovic and keep Dieng.

There are reports that Minny prefers Okafor to Towns.

Of course the Lakers do better than expected. Whatever. Depending on what the Wolves do, we might get that 1st round pick next year. They had a bunch of injuries this year, and if they hit it on the #1 pick, they might be a high lottery team next season.

LOL.

The Knicks will miss out on either Okafor or Towns...

Wiggins plus the #1 pick in this coming draft, together with Rubio and Lavine, Adrien Payne, and Dieng? They will do well next season and beyond. Time for them to move Pekovic and Martin for more assets or cap room.

Or trade the pick for Cousins.

Who besides their second pick can they offer for Cousins?

How many bad trade idea threads will we get from people who don't realize that this is what the TWolves will want to do?

It wouldn't surprise me. Saunders has the ancient basketball aversion to three-pointers, and he's the coach and GM. On the bright side, Okafor learning from KG will be a joy to watch, and Minnesota fans will always have Wiggins' highlight-reel dunks to keep them entertained.

Randle and the second pick. Although I think the second pick alone might get it done. The Kings could land Okafor and Winslow/Johnson or Russell and WCS if they opt to trade Cousins. That wouldn't be a bad duo to reload with.

And why so negative with the one liners all the time?

I'm not negative, I'm just curious. Randle got hurt on his first game, which raises questions about his durability.
