So.... would you trade #3 and #12 for the #2?

Pretty easy question. If Minny was inclined to make the swap, would we do it? Do we like Williams that much more than Kanter or others?

I wouldn't. Five years from now the guy picked at 12 could be as good as the guy picked at 2 in this draft.

not without another asset coming back our way. Unless Cleveland passed on Kyrie, then we'd have to consider it. Otherwise I dont feel like the difference between Kanter and Knight and Williams is big enough to justify the cost.

Probably.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Moving up ONE spot is not worth two lottery picks.

I was gonna ask the same thing. #2/Flynn for #3/#12?

IF, and only if it is Kyrie Irving and we have something else coming our way.

Yeah if Irving is still there you do it, dont' think Clevland will pass on him though.

Does Minnesota want Williams? He is kind of repetitive to the skills of K-Love and Beasely.

Maybe....

Some good trade is possible.

I don't think that he is that repetitive to K-Love.

It might just be me but I would think that Flynn has more value than the 12th pick. We would do much better they the T-wolves on that one.

I would rather trade down to the 5th spot and pick up Kemba or Knight and add another asset while we are at it.

I probably wouldn't because its not a certainty that the Wolves will take Williams.

I think it's just you.

Okay, but he doesn't have negative value, does he?

I can't see the Wolves taking Williams. They need a legit big man alongside of Love and they already have B-easy and Johnson at the 3 spot. Unless they are going to take the strategy of amassing players at the same position like they did at the PG spot a couple years ago......

So unless the Cavs fall in love with Williams I see him being the pick at 3rd.

Anything can happen, especially with Kahn calling the shots.

Ha ha, so true.

Shoot, only 3rd pick. No way you're getting Jimmer now.

wow what a crappy year to be 3rd

That snake Kahn is going to snag him right out from under our noses!
