Your ideal draft + rotation

[AQuintus]

That's a heck of a lot for Conely.

I would say that Conley has more value than Foye at this point, and I don't put much value in late 1st round picks.

[AQuintus]

Quote button is too close to the edit button.

[Esohny]

Well, I would do Foye for Conely, but throwing in Pekovic's rights is way too much. Maybe the 28 for sweetener.

[big3_8_19_21]

Yeah, I wouldn't trade Pekovic's rights straight up for Conley.

[john2jer]

You wouldn't trade Pek's rights straight up for Conley? I don't think I'd be able to say yes fast enough to a straight up between the two.

[revprodeji]

I am not sold on Conley as a sure thing, and I am one of the biggest pekovic fans, but even that being said if it was Pek+filler for Conley I would do it. He is young, a true pg and would be a sure starter for a while. But why would Grizz trade for Pek when they have Gasol?

[collin_k41]

6. a. Evans b. Derozan
18. a. Lawson b. Mullens

Would like an Evans/Mullens or Derozan/Lawson draft a lot I'm just not sure I like more so forget the rotation.

[big3_8_19_21]

I guess I haven't even seen Pek outside of highlights, but he's about as close to a sure thing we will get for young centers as he is already all-euroleague 1st team and we really need a C and have a good chance to get a starting PG in the draft this year. I guess it's moot though, since they have Gasol.

My ears definitely perked up when I read about it. I found out about it because I was researching the Reggie Evans information. It had slipped my mind that they were brothers.

Wow, Tyreke is Reggie's brother? This changes everything....
If Tyreke grows a beard like this:

...and exhibits just 1/5 of the rebounding and defensive tenacity of Reggie, then I'd love to see him in a Wolves jersey!

[revprodeji]

I think he has a brother named Reggie, but it is not that Reggie.

[john2jer]

Different Reggie Evans, yes. When I first heard it, I was like, "really? COOL!?" But sadly, different Reggie Evans.

His brother Reggie is a 35 year old manager of a communications company. But his three brothers get ragged on for being overly protective and giving him the Todd Marinovich treatment.

[Dan's with the Wolves]

The Twolves have the following picks: 6-18-28-45-47
Who would you draft? If no trades happen to this team?

Draft:
6: E. Clark (SF)
18: J. Teague (PG)
28: D. Collison (PG)
45: C. Johnson (PF)
47: G. Siler (C)

Rotation:
PG: Telfair-Teague-Collison
SG: Foye-Miller
SF: Clark-Brewer-Cardinal
PF: Love-Smith-Madsen
C: Jefferson-Johnson-Siler
1st unit: Telfair-Foye-Clark-Love-Jefferson
2nd unit: Teague-Miller-Brewer-Smith-Jefferson
3rd unit: Collison-Foye-Brewer-Love-Johnson

Based on the current 5/27/09 DX Mock Draft, I like:

First Round
06 Tyreke Evans -- SG Scoring ala Sprewell role Dribble Drive/Finisher
18 Jeff Teague -- PG Pull Jumper Shoot first PG ala Sam Cassell Pullup Jumper/ 3point Shooting
28 Danny Green -- Wing Defender/3 point Shooter

45 Taj Gibson - Long Athletic Shot Blocker PF
47 Jeff Pendergraph - Intelligent Backup Center


Rotation
C Jefferson/Pendergraph
PF Love/Gibson
SF Gomes/Green/Carney
SG Foye/Evans/Brewer
PG Vet PG/Teague

Trade Assets
Miller, Cardinal, Madsen, Smith, Brown, Telfair for Vet PG & Center

[wildvikeswolves]

i think Evans and Teague would be a horrible match together. IF we draft Evans then we would need to see him as a PG or at least the primary ball handler.

6. Derozan/Holiday/Evans
18. Lawson/Mullins/Williams
28. Gibson/Green/Young

If we go derozan at 6 then i want lawson at 18 adn Gibson at 28. if we go Holiday at 6 then i want williams at 18...ect

Lawson/Telfair
Foye/Derozan/Brewer
Gomes/Miller
Love/Smith/Gibson
Big Al/Madsen

Holiday/Telfair
Foye/Brewer/Green
Gomes/Miller
Love/Smith/
Big Al/Mullins

Evans/Telfair
Foye/Williams/Brewer
Gomes/Miller/Young
Love/Smith/Young
Big Al/Madsen

[stop-n-pop]

1- Trade

To the Jazz:

-Brian Cardinal
-Mark Madsen
-Craig Smith
-Randy Foye

To the Wolves:

- Andrei Kirilinko

2- Trade

To the Bulls:

- Mike Miller

To the Wolves:

- Kirk Hinrich

3- Draft:

#6: Stephen Curry
#18: BPA between Austin Daye, BJ Mullens, or Earl Clark (i.e. longest bpa)
#28: BPA between Victor Claver, Rodrigue Beauboix, Patrick Mills, or Nick Calathes (I like Calathes here)

4- Sign Sheldon Williams to a 2 year deal
5- Sign Rodney Carney to a 2 year deal
6- Sign D-League big to 1 year contract

1- Curry/Telfair/(Calathes/Mills)
2- Hinrich/Brewer/Carney
3- Kirilinko/Gomes/(Daye/Clark)
4- Love/Williams/(Daye/Clark)
5- Jefferson/Williams/D-Leaguer

The Wolves then make 2011 their big off season, they are able to bring along a trio of young players with veteran support, and they keep Pekovic in the mix by not going overboard on someone like Gortat.

[Devilzsidewalk]

^^ I could roll w/ that rotation, but I wonder if that is really AK's value to Utah, he only plays 27 mpg. I wonder if we could base a move of MM to Utah, and Foye to Chicago; that way we should get a little extra something from Chicago

[Esohny]

That would be a major upgrade in talent. It would be extra nice if AK47 and Hinrich didn't get paid quite so much.

Hinrich would have to take the 2-guard on defense, and hopefully Curry can stick with point guards(that worries me a bit).

But I would say Mullens before Daye at 18 in this scenario.
