SAC wins the lottery, NJN comes in third.

#2 MIN
#3 NJN (RUBIO + ADDITONAL CAP SPACE for Harris ... if NJN fell to #3)
#4 GSW (LOVE .. Did you know that GSW's rebounding margin per game was close to -10!)
#5 WAS (Harris + Iguodala for Arenas + #5)
#6 PHI (Kirilenko (exp) + #16 + $9 mil cap space for Brand + Iguodala + Speights + #6)
#7 DET (JEFFERSON .. Prince + #7)
#8 LAC (Speights + SESSIONS for #8 + cap space)
#9 NYK (Prince (+GOMES) + #23 (UTA pick return) + $4 mil in raw cap space for Kirilenko + #9)
#10 IND (FLYNN completes their young 2011 rebuild)

Throw in Pekovic where I'm short.

MIN: Arenas + Brand + Picks 2-10.

Don't fear the guys in the white coats, Shink. They're here to help you.

Fun with shrink ...

-- Deals 3, 5 and 7 seem rock solid

-- I think we may need to add Pekovic to Deal 1
-- Deal 2 seems iffy but isn't necessary for Deals 5-8 (just means not having one of Cousins/Favors)
-- Deal 4, don't know if Flynn is enough here ... maybe adding Ellington would do it
-- Deal 6, seems like we might need to add Brewer but I don't know enough about the situation
in Philly
-- Deal 8, seems good to me but I haven't followed Speights closely and don't know his value

I think the key question is, which teams would be willing to trade away the #2 pick?
Probably nobody, unless a team absolutely falls in love with cousins or favors.

I think most of those teams would be pretty happy to add kevin love or jefferson, except maybe the clippers or Utah. Do we take Favors or Cousins if we are stuck at 3 or 4, then trade Al or Love for 7 and wesley johnson?

so the rookie VS sophomore game for the AS break will be like the entire T wolves minus Arenas against the sophomores?

and i guess we then have multiple shots to win the ROY award....

LOL! I hadn't thought about the rookie-sophomore game!

Of course, to be sure win the ROY, we'll still have to injure Wall.

Four years from now, when they all come off their rookie deals, I hope Glen has saved his pennies.

Your scenrio isn't complete, though. We need picks #1-#10.

Wall
Turner/Henry
Johnson/Aminu
Cousins/Favors
Aldrich/Whiteside

Motiejunas or Vesely stay overseas

Throw in Pekovic where I'm short.

MIN: Arenas + Brand + Picks 2-10.

only problem with trade #3 is that we wouldn't have additional cap space until free agency so it'd have to be completed later... and we need to move Harris later on in the Arenas trade... I guess both trades could be put on hold until free agency
