I know we didn't know if Rubio was coming over or not but we should have kept him until the Rubio situation was solved.
Lets just hope Flynn turns out to be better than Lawson otherwise we'll be pissed

I was watching the Bucks game and they were talking about how Milwaukee finally caught a break and how their franchise was so deserving to luck out with Jennings at 10. I'm thinking, yea, the Bucks have kind of been in the dumps so they deserve a break but come on, the wolves have had way worse luck. At least the Bucks have gotten all-star caliber players like Redd and Ray Allen. They also landed a top 3 pick!

I hate that excuse. Trading a pick before you know available isn't a viable excuse for missing out on a good player.
A viable excuse is that it would be ridiculous to draft 3 PG in the first round, and we got a good return.

The Wolves knew what players could reasonably be available at 18, and traded the pick for a future 1st rounder where they have no idea who will be available. If the Wolves had really liked someone at 18, it would have made more sense to take the player they know they like, instead of trading the pick and hoping they get the opportunity to take someone they like in the future.

No. Let's imagine that we've had eleven picks in the draft and the Wolves draft board goes:
12. Ty Lawson
13. CHA future pick
14. Gerald Henderson
15. Tyler Hansbrough
16. Earl Clark
17. Austin Daye
18. Jrue Holiday
The Wolves have the #18 pick, when DEN says they'll trade the CHA pick right now if they can have #18.
At this point, the Wolves have to look at the other teams in the draft and decide the likelyhood that Ty Lawson is available for them to pick when they get to #18. Now, you may be right that they don't know that Lawson won't be availalable, but if they wait, they miss the chance at CHA's future pick.
If you wait to know who exactly is available at #18, you lose the opportunity costs, which in this case, was the future 1st. I don't think that it makes sense to always wait until you know who exactly will be available
