Terrible move.
You give up Foye + Miller + #6 to move up one spot and obtain a bad contract with junk players.

They don't give up #6. You're an idiot.

Harden is locked for the Wolves now IMO.
Now it's a decision between all these point guards.

There's no mention of the 6 being included.

It's a good move for both teams honestly.
Wolves get two studs to fill out their backcourt (possibly Curry and Evans)
Wizards get a veteran in Miller and a young and talented player in Foye.

Nice trade for you guys. The wiz are basically cutting out the fat due to Arenas' bloated contract and injury concerns.
If I'm you guys I would keep both picks and hopefully snag Evans and Curry. I'd trade the 6th pick to the Knicks for Chandler and the 8th. Then you can take Evans and whoever is availible at 8th. Chandler would be good insurance if Brewer doesn't pan out.

What do you guys think are the chances you package 5 and 6 to move up for Rubio?

EXCELLENT MOVE!
Now trade Love for 2
Take Rubio (2), Harden (5), Hill(6)
Rubio,Harden,Brewer,Hill,Jefferson...not bad

5 and 6 is too much for the 2. I could see some package of the 5 OR 6 and the 18/28

That would be dumb. If they trade both of those picks, it should be for Stoudemire.

Wow.. So Foye was the next one to go.
I wonder how Wizard fans feel about this.

There were better ways to construct this trade, but I don't mind getting the #5.
