Minny Rebuild

[jayjaysee]

My unrealistic Wolves rebuild..

Go super young..

Assuming Boston gets the top three pick -

Locked up Love and Martin to Boston for Wallace, Joel, Wiggins, 19th

Boston gets a second star and still has a good number of assets to finish building a contender. Ainge can definitely turn 18th, SUlly, Olynyk, Bogans, Green into a solid build around Love and Rondo.. Olynyk+18+Bogans for Sanders doesn't seem that bad of a deal, then the team has Sanders/Love/Green/Bradley/Rondo with Sully/Martin/whatever else off the bench..

Wolves have

Pek / Dieng / Joel
? / ?
Wiggins / Brewer / Budinger / Wallace
Shabazz / Shved
Rubio / JJB
13th+NOP's 2nd+Minn's 2nd+GSW's 2nd

Trade 2 move up in draft

Min - Pek, 54th and Shabazz
Min - 7th, J-Rich and Terry

Draft the best player left.. Pretty likely that one of Randle/Exum/Vonleh fall to number 7 in my eyes.. I'll use Vonleh as he the most likely..

Philly - 11th and Richardson
Philly - Pek

Get a solid fit with Noel (according to Philly fan/s) and preserve some extra cap space by dumping Richardson

Sac - Terry and 7th
Sac - 11th, 54th and Shabazz

Move back 4 spots in the draft and dump Terry and get Shabazz. Salary cutting helps with tax issues next year and Shabazz could play a good role long term if Gay isn't brought back. Draft Ennis/Lavine at 11th in my eyes..maybe Warren or McDermott though.

Trade 3 -

Tor - Brewer, Jack, and 43rd
Tor - Fields, Novak, and 20th

Nice upgrade of talent by moing back in the draft

Cleveland - Jack and 9th
Cleveland - Budinger, 13th and 19th

Clear Jack's salary and drop back in the draft.

Minn - Brewer, Budinger, 13th, 19th
Minn - Novak, Fields, 9th, and 20th

Move up in the draft by taking on dead salary

Dieng - Payne (20th)
Vonleh (7th) - Payne/LRMAM
Wiggins (1st-3rd) - Hummel
Harris(9th) - Shved -
Rubio - JJB
Joel/Novak/Wallace/Richardson/Terry/Fields are all somewhere between DNP, trade block, and retired..

Unrealistic young team, 4 top 20 picks. Once Wallace/Novak come off the books in 16 months they will have an insane amount of cap space to go with Rondo/Wiggins/Harris/Vonleh... Young fast team should help Rubio shine and he will be the only non-rookie contract on the books in 2015-2016.
