Who Do Wolves Draft @ 5 & 6

[canucklife21]

puting harden and evans together would be a dream along side big al and love.. evans at the one can help the wolves have 2 pick a roll options handleing the ball as in evans or harden

[Esohny]

Rubio-Harden, Evans-Harden, and Holiday-Harden are the best combos in my mind, in that order.

Harden is the obvious choice for this team. The team certainly needs one of harden or evans and a trade up guarentees that. Also, HArden and Evans while not 6'6" do have the length and game to play some time @ the 3.

The team probably needs to conserve the 18 for additional guard depth as well. I'm predicting this trade.
#2(harden)
for
#6(hill) - cheaper rookie scale contract saves 1m a year, fills needs, had great workouts, great upside
Pek rights - future asset that can be used to fill roster, or flipped for cash/pick later
Utah pick - defered pick in a draft super deep in bigs, pick is probably similar in range to our #18
Cash - Probably cash from NYK pick

MEM can be crafty from this point and opt for curry @6, trade down for hill or johnson + incentive(darko for mobley?). Or simply keep hill.

MN gets teague, Maynor, jennings, or lawson with 18 in thabeet or evans scenario
al\love\Harden\Evans\jennings
Thabeet\Al\???\Harden\jennings

MN takes daye in rubio scenario @ 18, good shooter for rubio to dish to.

Andy Katz: Wednesday got off to a hurried start for Minnesota, which diverted the travel plans of Arizona State's James Harden.

NBA officials confirmed that Harden was supposed to be at Wednesday's media session in New York but had an unscheduled workout thrust onto his schedule late Tuesday night.

According to a source close to Harden, Harden flew to Minneapolis for an interview and light shooting workout with the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

The source said Harden was told by Washington that he would have been the Wizards' pick at No. 5 prior to Tuesday's trade that shipped the fifth pick to Minnesota for Randy Foye and Mike Miller, with three Wizards -- Etan Thomas, Darius Songaila and Oleksiy Pecherov -- also heading to Minnesota.

The source said Harden would go to either Oklahoma City at No. 3 or Minnesota at No. 5 or 6, pending further moves by the Wolves.

Harden is expected to get to New York late Wednesday night.
