Most likely. It doesn't make sense for them to draft a 3/4 in Williams when they have Love, Beasley, Johnson and Webster, having a big hole in the 5 spot.
 
Nothing set in stone. For the right deal I have no doubt they would trade it. Good way to drive up the value of the pick
The crazier thing he said was "I'm okay with Kahn." So are the teams (including Utah) that are abusing the Timberwolves in the trade department, BTW.
 
This is just Kahn trying to up the value of the pick. He doesn't want every owner thinking that the #2 pick is up for sale for pennies on the dollar.
 
This says not only nothing new, but nothing at all. "We'll keep the pick... or maybe we'll trade it."
 
I agree with AlaskanAssassin, I think they are trying to use gamesmanship to increase the value of the pick. Ultimately I believe they'll be trading it. If they don't, Kanter is a better choice for the team due to Beasley being solid and Minnesota's C situation as it is.
 
I personally see it going one of 2 ways: keep it and draft Kanter or trade it to (or pick for) Washington who in turn picks Kanter. I think we have the best player in the draft slip to us without giving up anything, and thats DWill2.
 
Pure smoke. This little press release or whatever it is isn't even emphatic on the point. We may not know what the Timberwolves are doing, but I can certify that they don't either.
