It makes sense, but I'm holding off on it on account that I still think MKG is clearly the 2nd best prospect and whoever trades up with Charlotte will trade up to draft him, not Robinson.


I'm still debating whether I think Minny should trade D-Will to move up to #2, but I'd want Biyombo back and I know that ain't likely.

thats beyond unlikely

derrick williams didn't show enough to bring back the 2nd pick in the draft and biyombo

i doubt charlotte would even give up the 2nd pick for him....he's one year closer to making a legit salary than the guy they would draft. wouldnt make sense to get d-will

Clearly I know it wouldn't be enough, just whether I'd include him to move up.

Unfortunately he's gonna have to stick around and see his value plummet at least one more year, but that's the downside to BPA.

T-Wolves should see if they can include Derrick Williams + this year's 1st round pick to move up and get Terrence Ross in the top 10.



Dunno if it's going to happen though either way (moving up in the draft). Doesn't Adelman only want to make moves for vets this off-season?

Sam Amick is saying Beal has no workouts schedule past 4. Saying that Cavs love Barnes but doing a lot of work on Beal. Looks like they may take Beal if he is there at 4.

1. I doubt the team uses Derrick Williams to move up a handful of spots. If his value has fallen that far (and that might be the case), they'll hold onto him. Either the Wolves package the pick to get a vet or they simply pick who they want at 18. Moving up only makes sense if the team's able to move up high enough. For all we know, Ross could be there at 18 (and he's expressed that he wants to play for Minnesota)

2. Adelman and Love absolutely want to add vet help this summer. I don't know if either of them will realize that it's easier said than done. In due time, maybe Rubio and Love become a duo people will want to play alongside, but I don't know how high the demand is or whether that demand outweighs the negatives. I don't think adding 2-3 more rookies will be appealing when the window of opportunity to improve is so short (I'd consider trading down simply because they can get guys that can contribute immediately, play their roles, be cheap, and fill roster spots. If they let everyone go including Darko, that's 4-5 players you'll have to convince to come from somewhere else to Minny.

Perry Jones stock is dropping like a rock.

Very much agreed. Some of it has nothing to do with him, but rather how other people have jacked up his stock.

If he's there at 18 though, it bucks conventional wisdom, but fukk it I'd pick him.

I don't know why dudes acting like Terrence gon be a bust?...he reminds me of Lamar Odom alot...

That's not a good or bad thing. He possesses many of his good and bad qualities.
