Minnesota open to trading #2 pick

[d@!!0n0rcutt]

If Cleveland take Irving #1, which is likely. Then does KOC make a trade with Minnesota to move up and include some veteran help? In some rumors David Kahn is stating they would be willing to move the 2nd pick for veteran help. So which players and pick(s) does KOC package to get to 2, if they even do because KOC thinks the player we want falls to us at 3? And wasn't it rumored before the deadline the Minnesota wanted Raja Bell for a 2nd rounder?

Just a thought maybe a combination of C.J. Miles, Raja Bell, and 12th pick to get to 2 which is wishful thinking and I realize probably not enough to get the 2nd pick, but my wish is that, and we draft at 2 Derrick Williams and 3 Brandon Knight. With a future core of Knight, Hayward, Williams, and Favors!

Miles and Bell aren't enough "payment" to but up from #12 to #2.

They are the Timberwolves though

Well, Kahn's right he needs some veterans more than a superfluous player who duplicates what they already have. But the 12th pick is ten whole spots. I think he want more than CJ Miles. I wonder how much he really values Raja - especially after his last year. The wolves don't really have any holes, and yet they suck.

I want to somehow acquire Toronto's pick and draft Biyombo.

Did he really just propose Miles, Bell and #12 for #2?

 

[Mission Accomplished]

We are going to be fine at the three. There are three potentially great players and one of them is going to fall to three. I wouldn't be surprised if Cleveland went with Williams over Irving (because there are other good PG in this draft and they have the 4th pick). Then Minnesota would pass on Irving because they believe Rubio is going to be the man. Then we could get Irving and move Harris for a solid 2 or a 3.

This writer suggests the sixers trade Iggy + the 16th pick for Minny's pick #2. And then select Kanter with it.

How should salaries work out when trading picks and players?

Players salaries have to be a pretty close match I think. I think Minny would have to send Webster to Philly.

I have to believe Sixer fans have deluded themselves about Iggy's worth. No doubt he's a good player. But he has a bad contract to go along with an arthritic knee condition that is chronic. They can trade him, but they're going to have to eat a contract to do it.

Minnesota has pieces and could get solid real quick with some help.

Kahn traded #6 Brandon Roy for #7 Randy Foye and a million bucks on draft day 2006. I'd bet he'd take a million and swap 2 and 3, especially if KOC personally guarantees to take a player Minnesota doesn't want, but might strategically draft anyway.

ENES KANTER - this from nbadraft.net...
