2010 draft #1 pick?

[moss_is_1]

I'd say plan on taking Wall, but listen to offers for the #1 pick, and hope you can move back with someone while grabbing a young player/picks/expirings, plus their pick in the top 5 so we can grab Evan Turner. He can be our SG/SF of the future. He has an awesome handle and can just do everything at a very high level. he could be like a 20-6-6 guy I think. If he can improve his 3 point range he could definately be the #1 option on the wing we need.

Imagine if Conley stinks it up in Memphis and they want wall and offer us Gay/their pick for our pick/charlotte pick?

1)Gay would be a free agent so (we could sign him and Memphis can't trade him)
2)I would turn it down still if it could happen... we trade #1 pick, a probable high future pick for a lower pick and a player who would eat up all our cap space

Unless we're getting back a young player with superstar potential (Lebron, Dwight, Paul, Durant, etc) along with Turner, any trade back deal would be a huge mistake. The NBA is a superstar league. With the exception of maybe the 2004 Pistons, every team that's won the championship in the last 20 years has done so on the back of an all time great player. Trading away a guy with the potential to be an all time great (Wall) for a couple of guys who more than likely don't (Turner and whoever else) would be a huge step back, especially on a team that is as talent starved as the Wolves.

This kind of trade would be especially bad. We're trading away Wall, who is by far the best player in the deal, and a lottery pick for a guy that we could probably sign in free agency and Evan Turner (who is a good, but not great, prospect).

The Wolves are last in the ESPN power rankings, so we could be there officially soon enough.

I didn't know the lottery odds are determined by the ESPN Power Rankings...

duh pick wall

TWolves....hoarding point guard prospects since the beginning of times

Wall, Flynn, Rubio, Sessions. Sigh, potentially keeping other teams from accessing 4 starters.

Lets play small ball next season


PG Flynn
SG Sessions
SF Wall
PF Rubio
C Hart (or trade for Telfair)

Earl Boykins and AI off the bench

Enough with the #1 overall pick threads!
We will NOT get the #1 pick. We never have and never will. It doesn't matter if we have the worst record in the NBA, David Stern won't let it happen.

Pretty sure the NBA started allowing trades this year. I might have to double check, though.
