Wolves Willing To Consider Trading No. 1 Overall Pick

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Wed May 20, 2015 7:58 pm

The Minnesota Timberwolves have openly mentioned the possibility of trading away the first overall pick.

Glen Taylor admitted it is unlikely, but not something they're prepared to rule out.

Taylor said it is something that will be “part of any conversation.”

“You never know what it could mean, if you could get the right one or two guys that could change your team,” Taylor said. “When you already have a bunch of young guys, you have to look at this type of stuff. But I think it's a very hard decision to make.”

The Wolves already have a young roster with several former lottery picks.

“We've got so many young guys,” Taylor said, “we would be better off not even being close to the lottery again.”

Hopefully they DO NOT do this, young PG, young SG and a young PF = combination for success. All have very high ceilings as well.

This article is absolutely ridiculous, do not have concern, haha. They literally mixed quotes together to make things sound possible, really poor journalism.

It did make me click though.

No they aren't.

This isn't real news.

Why would they do that? Will LMA make them a contender? No. So they better off picking Towns/Okafor and aim for the future.

Doesn't mean anything, just means if they get some preposterous offer like Anthony Davis, that they'd accept. Obviously the real offers would suck, so nothing will happen.

They can trade for a veteran but no one wants to stay there. The only way for them to build is thru the lottery.

They could draft Russell, trade Rubio to the Knicks for #4, Lakers will likely take Okafor, Philly I could see taking Mudiay since they have Noel and Joel so the Twolves could get KAT at #4. Just a thought.

D'Angelo
Wiggins
KAT
Shabazz
Dieng
Pekovic
Lavine
Martin

Ridiculous! Am I forgetting somebody?

They need to win asap and he's not going to take 3 years like whoever they draft. Do you think they can trade that pick for someone better?
