The Wolves go all pg this draft. :lol:

Do we have a trade with them for Kaman?
I mean, Dunleavy talked about filling the back up pg spot.

This pick will go to Denver for a future pick.

Lawson is to the Nuggets for a pick via Charlotte. I believe Denver was really interested in Ty Lawson last year also.

Funny to see the Twolves take 3 PGs

Somewhere in Pittsburgh, a tall, strong guy must be sweating real bad, cause he just does not stop slipping closer to the second round....

Really, why's DeJuan Blair still available? :o

Maybe his knees, but he shouldn't be slipping this far. I think he's going to be a solid big man.

Blazers take Victor Claver, who'll stay in Europe for a couple more years.
Solid move by Portland again.

I'm glad to see Taj Gibson go in the first round.

Start of the 2nd round and DeJuan Blair is still on the board.

Blair and Young drop into the 2nd round and go consecutively. Blair will be headed to the Spurs as a pretty big steal.

I'm surprised to see Blair go this far down in the draft

Taylor Griffin to the Phoenix Suns. I would have liked to see us pick him up if he wasn't drafted, but it's good to see him drafted. He's had to live in his younger brother's shadow, but at the end of the day he can still say he was drafted into the NBA. They'll get the chance to go head to head July 19th.

Patty Mills to the Blazers at 55. I was hoping we would make a move to pick him up, but no moves will be made by us tonight.

Hopefully we can still get something done.

^ I love the Mill's pick for the Blazers...

I hoped we would trade away one of our bigs tonight, but I guess not.
