...you trade for it?


Trades, what a dumb concept in sports!

ban trades?

Didn't know it was through a trade. I thought it was just the order of picks from the lottery.

You don't get placed in the lottery if you make the playoffs?

They are good at SF, PF, and Center...

5. Minnosota - Thon Maker. AGain, the best player available, doesn't jibe with what the t wolves need. i believe strongly they will tradet his pick to get a contribute now stretch 4 but if they don't, what do you really do? take a point guard you got 2 already. really 3. take a big man? Thon has an outside touch and can grow into the stretch 4 position. it's a high risk high reward type deal here. But i think they trade the pick

Holy ball sack, I don't think you know what best player means.

Also, GMs aren't taking this kid...and he's projected as second rounder by some.

Deing struggles to guard stretch 4s. Plus while he can shoot, he's much better at center. you move swing to the bench and let him be the first big off versus playing out of position at 4

If you read what I said, seriously doubt they keep the pick. Unless bender is on the board. but if they are drafting who ele do they take at 5? They aren't asset collecting. They have rubio and Kevin at point and the kid from duke as well. Wiggings, lavine, shabazz are your wings is adding jayen brown gonna make them any better? Would he even get any run on that team? While I can think of 10 players I'd rather have than maker, they all play positions the wolves have depth at.


That's will boll simmons came out this week and suggested the okc trade, they bed a stretch 4. There are two really really good ones (bender and Ellison ) and tell high upside guys (bender, skal)


You can say something generic Like "they need to add shooting but in real life that means someone else isn't gonna play, wigs is on a get MORE min not less everyone knows thibs plays his starters a ton.


I think it's a pretty logical move assuming they keep the pick.



And the jazz are one of th e best you teams in the league. Their line is set for years with exum, hood, Hayward, favors and the center they have. They even got liles. They really don't have very many holes saying so shows ignorance


This is th fit draft anyone has seen that is order and takes team needs in account. Bucks need a shooter that can play d. Suns need a 4. Wolves need a 4. Etc. I think the best player in the draft is dunn and I have him going 6th and I'd be shocked if all but the wolves end up exactly like that For the top 6. Got to pay attention to workouts and such to tell the rest. The top 3 are stone cold locks.

Simmons and Randle aren't the same player but their player profiles are quite similar.

Athletic guys who can take bigs off the dribble, neither are shooters, neither have great length but both are elite rebounder s. simmons is a better Passer and ball handler but Randle can put the ball on the floor. Randle plays better defense bit neither are nor will be great because of lack Length.


Simmons isn't a three. He can't space the floor and isn't quick enough to guard threes constantly do you have to figure out what to do with them

11. Magic - Jamaal Murry -

Wtf....no way he's there at 11. He won't make it out of the top 6.

Embiid is the solution for the next 10 years when he hasn't even played one second of professional basketball and is apparently a borderline retard off the court who can't properly feed himself or even go to a doctor at a pre-arranged time?
