The talk of Jefferson AND a lottery pick for Stoudamire is completely insane. Jefferson is more valuable player and the Wolves would be stupid to even make that trade straight up. People who want to give Jefferson and a draft pick for Amare probably cheered for all the other stupid trades the Wolves have made in recent memory.

At this point, the T-wolves lack a legit 3, 2, 1. Bassy at worst could be a decent starting PG. He can drive pass anyone, create for his teammates, but his shot is still iffy. They really need to spread the floor with shooters, Curry is a real good target for them, but he’s undersized for the 2. Drafting Curry, would require them to draft a big PG/SG which Tyreke should be able to. The problem here Tyreke has a slow release on his shot along with its inconsistant. He also is a ball dominant player to be effective.

What the wolves really need is shooters with size that can hopefully run the team. Any small point guard they draft I see is redundant because the majority of them bring to the table what Bassy already does. Outside of Rubio I don’t really see anyone playing as the starting PG for the team. I say Curry and Derozan are the prime picks unless Rubio falls that far.

PG – Telfair/Curry
SG – Curry/Derozan
SF – Derozan/Gomes/Brewer
PF – Love/Jefferson/ 1of3 wizard fillers
C – Jefferson/1of3 wizard fillers

Trade the number 6 pick and Craig smith to the kings cus all they need is a pg and this draft is full of them and draft James harden at 4 and draft tyreke evans or jonny Flynn at 5

Wait and try to steal Rubio/Evans using the 5th pick, and maybe take S.Curry using the 6th pick.

If both Rubio and T.Evans are surprisingly still available by then, take them both! Outside of Griffin, I think these 2 are the potential All-Stars in this Draft. Pair them together at the backcourt and Minny will be seeing incredible ball-movements in offense for the next 10 years.

I’m torn between Tyreke Evans and DeRozan, but if you have true PGs on the floor I’d roll with DeRozan. Him and Carney (if they keep him) should be solid one two punches. DeRozans shooting percentages are shaky though

Carney has to show he belongs this year. If he sticks with the Wolves he should have a chance to start in his third year. He showed some good signs and I think he can still be a quality starter down the line.

Looking at it really Minn needs shooters I’d feel better with them picking up

Curry 5, Clark 6 and if they move up Grab Terrence Williams, while still finding a way to pick up Darko. They should be able to fish a guy like JJ away from Orlando if they really want another shooter too.

So many options with all those picks.

Flynn + Derozan. Although, Im hoping that Flynn can last until number 9 to Raptors. My fav number + my home team. It HAS to happen, lol. I also wouldn’t be mad about getting rid of Calderon and Bosh. Make it happen Colangelo!

Give Kevin love some time and he will be as good as David Lee.
