It would be extremely hard to do a deal with Portland, who have shown the drive to go out of their way to **** with us.
*sigh*
Harrison Barnes. If only. We would be sitting pretty.
I think Minny will trade out of 2, Williams projects to be a Beasley clone. Possibly a slightly better one, but nearly identical skill sets. Whatever team trades up though will take Williams though so its all the same to us.
...unless Minny trades the #2 to us for the #3 and either a player or another pick. If I'm Minny, someone is going to have to trade me an all-star or near-all-star to get me to give up the #2 pick, but swapping the #2 for #3 isn't a big deal if the player I want isn't Derrick Williams.
Who knows they might, its Kahn we're talking about after all. However, they have clearly said they are looking for a veteran star though, probably a shooting guard or center. Philly may dangle Iggy and a future pick for him. Minny could simply give them back a TPE they are way under the cap. Would be tough to beat that.
That would be a fairly decent deal for Minny, although Iggy is expensive and not the best shooter. That said, do you think Philly would take Williams or Kanter?
