Already hearing from sources that Minnesota has told people they're very open to moving No. 2 pick. Kahn wants veteran help ...

Don't get caught up in the moment.

No2 to LA for Luke Walton
No2 to SA for Richard Jefferson
No2 to NY for Chauncey who sits out with an 'injury' until feb where he is bought out and rejoins teh Knicks.

Lotta good small forwards and shooting guards this year. Might wanna keep Kanter or trade down and grab Bismack + assets. Get your wing of the future next year. Also, at the very least Millsap could be traded to Phoenix for Lopez + 2012 first rounder.

No2 to NY for Chauncey who sits out with an 'injury' until feb where he is bought out and rejoins teh Knicks.

Walton barley gets off the bench.
Jefferson says he is retiring
Billups close to retiring.

We have far better to offer Minnesota with a combination of these players Harris, Millsap, Bell and CJ, if we chose to go that route.

These are all terrible trades for the Wolves.

 

[Favors Flave]

Just pray somehow Irving falls to 2, then trade up and get Irving. Trade #3, Memo, Bell, Tomic to Wolves

 

[green]

Millsap, Bell and #12 for #2. Draft Williams and Knight. That gives you Harris, Hayward, Williams, Jefferson and Favors as the starting five with Knight, CJ, AK or someone else (Evans maybe), and Memo on the bench. Not too bad.

That would be impressive. I agree that the Jazz need to make a decision on Millsap, but he's a good 6th man to have. I don't think the Wolves would be psyched about Millsap though when they could just draft Derrick Williams.

True, but Sap is a proven and valuable commodity. While I like Williams, he could be the end of Kahn if he is a bust.

They were enamored with Tomic if I recall, if there is still interest there you might be on to something. I think they are looking for wing help though so probably will be talking to Indiana about Granger over us.
