If wolves wanted Wiseman they would have drafted him.

There is a live feed and chat that is few minutes ahead. That's spoiling the TV. I just saw toppin picked and the thread said it 4 minutes ago.

Are we cutting Vanderbilt, Spellman, and Nowell?

Thanks for that advice. Might need to when Warriors are drafting 4th and Wolves are not even invited to the draft party in 2021.

The Beasley situation is a disaster. He was exactly what we need at the 2. Elite shooting and heart. If his mistake causes us to lose him it's going to be very frustrating when he recovers somewhere else. Guy is a beast on the floor. I hate hate heat it has gone down like this. We need that kind of player for our system.

He should be the backup if they get him.

... and #33?

I’ll trade them all for any future pick from any team.

Sounds like we didn’t give him a qualifying offer, which means no chance he’s coming back.

I'm pleased enough so far

We'll have to see how this plays out, but a Rubio/DLo backcourt could potentially work really well, IMO. It could also work out badly to be fair haha.

Edwards has some red flags, for sure, but in my opinion he has the biggest star potential of any of the top 3 guys and he has that NBA ready body. It could go very, very wrong, but if it goes right we're set.

I can't remember who said their friend said that "you don't take Wade with the #1 pick"....man, I'd draft Wade with the #1 pick in 95% of NBA drafts haha. IF Edwards is Wade, that's a home run.
