The Sixerfan1976 Draft Thread (Update Pg. 49)

[Gsraider]

I'm not sure how excited I would be about including a 2011 first round pick if this rumor had any merit, unless it was heavily protected. Also, unless the Wolves have a lot of space, I wouldn't think Gomes' contract would be enough to counter Iguodala's.

[The Guilty Party]

its on pro sports daily... i just seen it.. its about the wolves are about to panic because the nets might take wesley johnson and the wolves really want him.. so he said if that happens look for wolves to draft favors.. then trade him and gomes to philly for iggy and 2011 first round pick.. not sure how legit this guy is but people who responded say hes pretty legit

How does this trade even fit within the cap rules?

1- This goes against what SF76 posted about Iguodala

2- It would work under the CBA because the Wolves will have cap space as of 7/1

3- Why would the Wolves do that?? They would be far better off keeping Favors and overpaying Rudy Gay this summer.

[thaddeusyoungin]

Two things are 100% locked in.

1) We are not trading Iguodala.
2) Evan Turner is the pick at #2.

Anything you hear to the contrary of #1 and #2...ignore.

I just made your next 48 hours of wait until the draft that much simpler.

What is still possible is the Lou,Green,Thad,Speights,Kapono,possibly buying a 1st/2nd rounder for a pick/player

This is for all of the newcomers.

While I do believe sixerfan1976 has access to some inside information, I think he is wrong in saying 100% we don't trade Iggy. Yeah it's unlikely but If an Iggy for Favors/Gomes trade was on the table Ed would bite. He'd have to wouldn't he?

i have no idea i was just telling everyone what site it was on and what the peices were

[The Guilty Party]

Sounds awfully fantastical to me.

[steveb21]

I highly doubt the Minnesota deal goes down like that. It sounds more like the Nets are trying to shake down the Wolves for a late 1st round pick.

Also, they hold the rights to Rubio who could probably play SG for them...or at least he could be a very good trading piece to get a SG. If I were Kahn I'd be trying harder to get Rubio in a Wolves uni than trading for Igoudala. But then again, we're talking about the Wolves here...

[JCRU28]

it kinds does make a lil sense.. hurting us in the short term but benifiting us in the long term.. short term loosing iggy who hasnt won or done anything close to helping us win and loosing a 1st pick in 2011.. BUTTTT.. we get Turner and Favors for the nexttt decadeee... long termm...

Well, to allow ourselves a little hope and to entertain some kind of discussion, other then the Ad Nauseum, SF1976 didn't exactly know about the Daly trade, no one did, came outta left field.

Stefanski did say he'd listen to offers, so maybe no one, not even Iggy is untouchable.

He did actually say no one is off limits but I think you have to factor in what he wants for Iguodala. Maybe he knows he wants more than anyone is willing to give up so you could say he is 100% staying while still maintaining that everyone is trade-able.

[Bring Back 1983]

At the risk of entertaining this for the next 15 minutes or until SF76 shoots it down (which may happen sooner than that), wouldn't it be something if both Stefanski and Collins BOTH got their guy? It is so risky to trade future No. 1 picks and I think outside of Brand, the entire team would be subject to curfew for being so young, but the skill set would be stupid.

And for what it's worth, this is a dream trade for Minnesota because they can address depth for bigs with their later picks, solved their SF issue and made a reasonable argument for Rubio to consider playing for a competitive team. But putting the entire weight of our squad on 2 of the top 4 picks of the same draft is a risk that I just don't know if these guys have the cajones to do.

[Gsraider]

SF could have been right about Iguodala too because if there was anything to this rumor, perhaps it was just offered recently. Not to mention, I'm guessing that even if SF was made privvy to it, he probably cannot share everything he hears anyway.

Exactly. In professional sports, nobody is "untouchable." If the right offer is made, a team will trade any player. It would be stupid not to at least entertain offers. As for the rumored offer: if it is legit, I think the front office pulls the trigger. It helps the Sixers get out of a hefty long-term contract in Iggy while picking up a piece for the future (Favors) and a nice, relatively-cheap, role player in Gomes- who, if cut before June 30th, only eats up $1 million over the next three years (I would hold on to him). I'd want the future 1st to be protected in some way, though.

[The Guilty Party]

Does the guy who spread the rumor have any sort of credibility for things prior to this?

[Gsraider]

Again, assuming there is any merit to this rumor, I doubt it would even go down until after NJ picks at #3. If NJ is blowing smoke and doesn't take W. Johnson at #3, I'm guessing that Minnesota would prefer to just go that route. So, credibility or not, I'm guessing nothing would even be whispered until shortly after the commissioner announces the NJ pick.

[76erFixer]

Gs is right, nobody would make a move that big until they knew the guy they wanted was or wasnt there. As much as I want to see how Turner/Iggy works out, Favors and Turner would be pretty tempting. Collins loves igoudala so it would be a tough call for management. That being said, I think if Philly has a chance to land both Favors and Turner, while shedding salary, they would have a hard time turning that down

[Cru Thik]

At least we have something fun to talk about until SF crushes our dreams lol.

[The Guilty Party]

If you're Minnesota and you've already publicly said that a Love-Jefferson frontcourt can NOT work, why would you trade Favors for a swingman instead of keeping him and then trading Love or Jefferson this off-season? It just doesn't make sense from the Wolves perspective.

David Kahn.

because Favors is a PF not center

He'll be capable of playing either.
