I'm not as familiar about Vesely's contract situation as I want to be, but I know he's under contract with Partizan until 2013 and could possibly be bought out. Is 500K really enough to release him (there is no other player that I am aware of from Partizan who we can draft to offer an additional 500K). Does it seem likely that he could become a 31st pick?

I agree he'll more likely end up being a Dirk type power forward, which is why I don't think he'd fit in Minnesota.

He may not fit now...

but if he's a player you need to wait 2 years on, you can take him ( if there with cats/jazz pick ) and worry about the fit later.

This team will change a lot.

Thanks. I saw you in the rookie game, I thought you got jobbed not getting any PGs on your team that could/would pass the ball

I just thought I'd take my new 2010 Sig out for a test drive. 8-)

I know the team as a whole will change, but the power forward position seems fairly set in stone.

He's 6'11", 240, very athletic and get after it on the defensive end. We don't have a player like that (Hollins doesn't count). Even if he ends up at PF, he's worth rolling the dice on. At he very least he gives our PG's a nice lob target. His length and athleticism could provide a nice complement to Al or Love no matter what position he plays in the frontcourt.

No kidding, especially on defense. :lol:

I really think Aldrich is going to be a monster and think that with our 2 later picks we should do everything to get him. He challenges every shot in the paint. He looks huge out there, Jeff Whitey(KU's backup center) is supposedly 7 foot but he looks so small compared to Aldrich..

Have two picks in the 20's ever been traded for a top 10 pick? How about in the last 10 years?

The Charlotte pick won't be in the 20's. It will be 15-18.

Has a 15-18 pick and a pick in the 20's ever been traded for a top 10 pick (most likely top 8)?

Krapinsky · Post #1033 » by **Krapinsky** » Tue Feb 16, 2010 7:05 pm

Not trying to be a dick, just curious. Seems unlikely that a team would want to drop down so far in the draft since chance of getting a star in the top 10 is much higher.

Post #1034 » by **Worm Guts** » Tue Feb 16, 2010 7:08 pm

If Aldrich falls and Charlotte and Utah stumble down the stretch, I don't think it would be impossible to trade up for him. I don't think it's likely, but maybe Aldrich falls to 11-12 and the Wolves have picks 15 and 22.

Closest thing I can recall is the Eddie Griffin(#7) for RJeff(#13)/Armstrong(#18)/Collins(#23) in 2001 between Houston and NJN.

Nice one. Interesting that the team trading back made out much better too.

The two picks alone might not do it but one or both picks combined with another asset (Pekovic, cap space, Gomes, Sessions, etc.) might get it done.

*Obviously those other assets have varying return values, I'm just listing a few.

Krapinsky · Post #1038 » by **Krapinsky** » Tue Feb 16, 2010 8:15 pm

I'm really drinking the Pekovic Koolaid. I don't want to trade him at all. I think he is going to be a force to be reckoned with.

me too, he finishes w/ monster jams, but has touch around the basket too.

I think that Charlottes should be in the teens, Utah's will pry be in the 20's but we could find someone to take on Sessions/Gomes/raw capspace perhaps as well?
