If this were to happen, I would not understand what the Wolves are doing

From Pro Basketball News:

* The Miami Heat have found a taker in their quest to trade the No. 2 draft pick, a source familiar with the situation told Pro Basketball News. The source did not indicate which team would be the Heat’s trading partner, or what other draft picks or players are involved.

* The supposed deal will reportedly be announced during or shortly after the draft. According to the source, the Heat will select USC guard O.J. Mayo and trade him. Kansas State forward Michael Beasley is expected to fall to No. 3 -- although not to Minnesota, which is expected to trade down.

* Reports say the Timberwolves are aiming to deal the third overall selection for a veteran, or at the very least, trade down and select West Virginia forward Joe Alexander. Expect Milwaukee to get involved in these talks (if it isn’t already). The Bucks are also very high on Alexander and are considering selecting him at No. 8. That is, of course, unless the Wolves get to him first.

Source familiar with the situation=Guy that is familiar with the game of basketball. He gave no information, likely, because there is no information as this is likely false.

Thats preposterous

Joe Alexander?? I go to Rev for my FO draft board, and I remember no mention of Alexander in any of that talk. Love? ok, Lopez? maybe, Gallinari? likely, Alexander??? Heeeeeeeeeell no.

Alexander???

He hasn't even been on anyone's lips around here. No homo.

McHale probably doesn't even know who Alexander is.

I've never even heard of probasketballnews.com before today.

It's probably run by Sam Smith and Peter Vecsey

While I think it's unlikely, I don't think this would be out of the realm of possibility.

Miami trades Mayo to the Clips.

Wolves trade Beasley to the Bucks for Bogut and #8 (Gallinari or Alexander).

It could happen.
