BREAKING NEWS - Minnesota telling other teams they're taking Enes Kanter at #2 over D-Will 2

They can call them regardless. If they get their pick, they can pick ANYONE but Irving. Your theory makes no sense.

Yeah it does. The 2 pick is greater then the 3 pick. Teams wanting Kanter would have to give up more for the 2 pick then the 3 pick. Minnesota is trying to tell the teams who want Kanter that they will have to trade with them and not the Jazz if they want Kanter. It's a smart move, but nobody in their right mind would believe Minny passes on D-Will for Kanter.
 
I personally think the Wolves may be doing it just to bait the Jazz, if it's true that the Jazz have settled on Kanter at #3.

Why? I think the Jazz would take D-Will over Kanter in a heartbeat. The Wolves have no leverage over us. They take D-Will we take Kanter. They take Kanter, we take D-Will. Or maybe we've been set on Knight all along anyway.
 
If I was the Minn GM, I would take Kanter over Derrick Williams. Why? because I already have Wes Johnson, Beasley and Anthony Randolph who are all young and talented. They all have the same potential as Derrick Williams so why draft him? I'd take Kanter and maybe trade him for a proven veteran big man and a pick. If no one wants to trade then I'd stick with Kanter as my center which is Minny's biggest need.

The T'wolves want to bait other teams who are interested in Kanter that those teams need to deal with them instead of the Jazz. It could give them a couple more trade offers to look at. But yeah, I don't think it makes much difference. Lots of teams want the #2 pick regardless.

It doesn't make any sense. The offers they got for Derrick Williams would be better than anything offered for Kanter.

David Kahn probably isn't thinking clearly. I'm not saying what they're doing makes much sense. Sure, the Jazz are happy to take DWill2.
 
Remember last year when a few days before the draft it was leaked that the Nets were going to take Wesley Johnson instead of Favors? I'd be estatic if the Jazz wind up with Williams, but 36 hrs before the draft I'm not putting too much stock into that report.

For the past 2 weeks 75% of all new threads have been redundant - at this point I'm used to it.
 
It makes so much sense for Minny to draft Kanter, but I have a queasy feeling that the Jazz blow it and skip Williams. I still my fingers crossed for the cavs to take kanter and knight, so we get irving.
