trade rumor 

Post#1 » by drummerrob26 » Sun Jun 22, 2008 4:24 pm

Out of the press today a rumor that the timberwolves apparently are not commenting on. We trade the #3 for adam morrison and the #9 pick of the Bobcats.

I doubt Gordon, Love, Bayless, and Gallinari will still be available

#9...Brook Lopez

Coming off a torn ACL and a less-than-stellar rookie season? We would defintely have to receive more than Morrison for that kind of deal to go down.

We would need a guarantee Lopez would fall down to #9 anyway

ahhh... by far the worst offer for the #3 pick so far. An un-athletic sg who is coming off of a season ending injury is not worth trading down 6 picks.

Adam Morrison? :lol:

Please no. Worst rumor I have heard, leading me to believe it is the most likely to happen.

I would be amazed, and I mean seriously amazed, if the Wolves would even contemplate a deal like this.

Surely there would have to be future picks or other players coming from us to you?

There is no way, NO way, Ammo is worth moving down 6 spots in the draft. I dont see anyone on the 'Cats roster short of Okafor that could be worth facilitating a deal either. I dont think the FO is looking for future picks as much as it is looking for younger "stud" players. We hope to be contending in 2-3 years anyway.

The value's not there. I don't see the Bobcats wanting to move up, anyway. Larry Brown? Rookie? yeah. They're more likely to trade that pick for a vet again than trade to move up.

This is bad. I text some people. One just laughed and the other said only if Mchale bumped his head and thinks Morrison is larry bird.

Shooter should be shot at.
