Mistake imo.

I'm not happy about a Flynn for Bell deal unless Favors is somehow involved. Depending on who is available for the our pick this year would be interesting. If it's not Ellis, Iggy, or Paul then I'm not sure it'd be worth it.

Never would of guessed that. Also says we would be open to trading our first round pick, interesting....sure it would have something in it to get around us not having a pick next season.

Keep Flynn for now. We'll be able to get more value for him in the offseason if we want to go that route.

Good for them for recognizing that Flynn should be moved. Though Flynn for Raja seems like selling really low. I'd have to imagine something else pretty valuable would be coming back. Maybe a fairly hefty reduction on the pick's protection.

Bad for them for not recognizing that Kyrie Irving is a game changing talent and they should be gunning for him as much as possible.

Yeah Bell for Flynn would be rough but I can't imagine Favors coming our way unless Love or Beasley+their 1st are heading to the Jazz.

Maybe Kahn is slowly realizing you don't draft players because of their smiles now.

I wouldn't trade Flynn now. His value is at an all-time low now. Let him grow with our system a bit before we trade him.

Blazers huh? Well, they are reportedly going after G-Force, so does that make Batum available?

Or inquiring about Oden? If they trade Flynn, thsoe 2 are who i'd like to see come back.

I believe Courtney Lee is headed to Chicago, which means we should definitely go after Mayo!

That's what I figure too. Mayo is my dream ATM. Flynn/Ellington for Mayo?

Considering they can't physically trade their pick, I'm leaning towards Ford is talking out his ass with that stuff.

What probably happened was someone mentioned a first going out from us and the well informed Ford obviously assumed it was ours, then made up some stuff about why it might happen to pad out the rest of his article.

Johnson + Flynn for Batum.

Kahn's ready to back pedal on one of his big moves already? Timberwolves are never going to learn how to draft right.

The Wolves are open to trading their pick? That's not really a shocker, if the price is right of course they would. GM's wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't listen to offers.

Because Kahn drafted Flynn?

If Portland gets Crash, I was thinking something like Flynn, Pek and a first for Batum plus filler. I'd throw in Webster if they wanted a wing in the deal.
