Minnesota keeping the 2nd pick

The buzz right now seems to be that Kanter is being regarded as a near-equal prospect with Derrick Williams for #2, whether Minnesota keeps the pick or not. But anything can happen once the individual workouts begin.

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.

I like the way you think. I hope it resembles reality.

Did you not read the part where it said, "But we are open to trade"?

It probably would have to be a trade that would land the Timberpups an allstar-quality player.

Plenty of allstar quality players get traded every year.

"All-star" is also a pretty subjective term. Are we talking Mehmet Okur and Jamaal Magloire, or are we talking Shaq? There are plenty of one-time all-stars that have worse careers than high-level role players/winners (Robert Horry, Derek Fisher) or what you could call borderline all-star players and never get in.

Haven't read through this thread yet but this news goes to show how much of a moron Kahn is. The night they got the 2nd pick they came out and said they'd field trades for it. And now they've done a 180? Right, like I believe they wouldn't trade it.

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.

but kanter and kevin love doesnt seem to complement eachother
for exm both favors and kanter is PF but they can be a very good couple in the front court

Kanter is a 5 and has got to be better than Darko.

I thought you guys have been praising that Kanter is Al Jefferson with jumpshot and length, no? How does that not complement Kevin Love?

And now Kanter is a PF??? I am confused.

More like a 90.
