This is from a poster that posts on a couple of other Timberwolves sites that i visit. He says he has inside contacts high up in the twolves organization. This is his latest update, since it involves you i figured i would let you guys know.

****UPDATE from 5/27, 10:15am****

They're seriously working on two trades at Target Center. ONE of them will very likely go down, but they're mutually exclusive. I repeat, they're NOT doing both of these deals unless something goes terribly wrong or they get an unbelievable offer they can't refuse. These aren't real new from what I posted before, but it's an update on the directions they're considering.

EITHER:

1. Moving both 2nd rounders and McCants to move into the early 20s of the first round to grab Robin Lopez or Hibbert. If they make this move, they've drafted Mayo at 3.
2. OR They make the Milwaukee trade, moving our #3 for the #8 and Bogut. They'd pray for Gallinari, settle for Eric Gordon, or hope someone like Bayless dropped.

They seem intent on getting a center AND a guard before free agency begins. And equally intent on moving McCants for anything of value, hopefully before the draft. Attitude concerns more than health at this point.

If neither trade comes together, Brook Lopez would be the pick. Bayless would likely go 4th to Seatlle, and Memphis would luck into Mayo (unless of course the Heat make a trade).

As of now, Fred and Stack are on the Mayo bandwagon. McHale and Babcock are Lopez fans.

Sorry, but this has a 0% chance of happening. The Bucks get absolutely robbed in that deal. Think about it from the Bucks perspective:

1. Bogut would go #3 in this draft.
2. So basically the Bucks trade the #3 guy in this draft for the guy that would go right behind him in Mayo, and also give up another top ten pick in the process.

It's not happening.
