So, now what do the wolves do?

I am getting more and more a fan of trying to get Kanter and trading for Cleveland's pick and take Knight...

well, if this is legit (which is always doubtful), then we can let go of the DWill2 dreams. Damn.

Bucher did some tweet and said Kyrie Irving said this is completely false

 

[Dr. Jones]

This is an opinion. However, I have always felt it's;

1. Irving
2. Williams
3. K?????

Interesting. I don't follow twitter, but do you have a link?

Yeah - so after a month of debating, discussing, arguing in this forum. It still comes down to Kanter vs Knight.

I'm still hoping a trade goes down in the next day or two that will throw all these scenarios into disarray and make these last few days a bit shorter.

Here's hoping, LOL.

Kind of sounds the same to me though...

From that article, Katz said Jazz have been looking to get 2nd pick to get Williams or Kyrie. Wow, Thursday could be an insane day.

I think what he's saying there is: The Cavs are committed to picking Irving, but they haven't stated that commitment to him.

You're probably right. Bucher could have worded it better IMO

According to this post, the Cavs are open to moving the #4 pick. I'm not sure if the Jazz want it or what they'd trade for it, but if they want both Kanter and Knight or Vesely, they would probably consider it. It sounds like Valanciunas is likely to slip a bit.

Just heard on a local talk show down here in St. George that KOC has contacted Minnisota about the #2, he said that Andy Katz reported it. I have no link but ill search for one.

My Bad did't read the whole article!

Of course KOC has inquired about the number 2 pick. I'm sure he has talked to almost every team in the lottery. What would it take to get that pick though? It's known that the reason the Twolves are looking to trade is because they don't want anymore rookies on the roster. They are trying to add veterans. I'm sure KOC knows this too, so I'm wondering if he is making any offers that include Milsap/Bell. I think more likely, though, is that he is using our 3rd pick + a player to try to move up a spot. This is gonna be a crazy couple of days...
