WOW, Wolves just made a huge steal if this deal is correct.

 

[coltsfan23]

YES! This actually might make the Twolves watchable now in the next few yrs, with all of these early picks. They can't possibly mess this up.. can they?

 

[southeastjerome]

I am a Huge fan of Randy Foye and think he will excel if he is not the go to scoring option on a team. Thsi past season he showed the 8 fans at the target center he can get buckets when he wants. Very possible that he could be 6th man of the year nxt season if he does not start .

But wow for the Twolves dream picks for me is Steph Curry and 5 and Jennings at 6 Budinger at 18 to go with Big AL ( Most under rated player in the NBA IMO) and Kevin Love and if Corey brewer does anything it will be a bonus.

 

[nikateen]

Diehard Wolves fan and I absolutely LOVE this trade. I would love to see a Steph Curry/Tyreke Evans or Jonny Flynn/Tyreke Evans backcourt. I am loving this new GM. Wolves now have pick #5, #6,#18 and #28. Thursday should be fun.

 

[KandKCards]

Big Foye fan, and think he will flourish big time with another wing scoring threat on the court with him. Glad to see him out of the black hole that is Minnesota.
Unfortunately for the Wolves, I don't see any franchise players at those spots. I don't like Rubio as a franchise cornerstone (if they traded up) and while I LOVE Steph Curry, I think he is overvalued in the lottery. I think he will be a fantastic 6th man type, but lack of a true position will hurt him.

I hope you aren't insisting Randy Foye is a franchise player. And black hole that is Minnesota? Randy Foye was a big part of that "black hole". He never improved. He was the same player last year that he was in 06-07. Very inconsistent and can't play defense.

Maybe Flip will get more out of Foye. Like Nikateen said, Foye is very inconsistent. Not a great defender or ball handler, streaky shooter. He is still young and could become a better player in DC. But he will never be an All Star. I'd rather 10-15 other players in this draft than him.
I couldn't be happier to see Mike Miller gone.
I'm still shocked these 2 could net the # 5 pick. I keep looking to see if Wolves had to toss in 18 or 28 to get this done. A great trade by the new GM.

Now if they can package the #6 and #18 to get up high enough to get Rubio. Then use 5 to take Evans or Harden. This will be franchise make over in one night.

As a Wolves fan I love this trade!

 

[matchpenalty]

I love this trade. But it all could be ruined if the main objective is to land Thabeet. My draft night will be crushed if he is wearing a Wolves jersey Thursday Night.

This is what I think they should do:
5. Curry (no way I take Jennings, he's AI in the making, and that's not a good thing, i like Flynn but not that high)
6. Harden
18. Eric Maynor (I think he's a big time sleeper, he single handedly beat Duke his Freshman or Sophmore year in the tourney.)

AI in the making talent wise? If so your crazy to call that not a good thing...

Hedo Turkoglu ran the point for Magic in crunch time throughout the playoffs. A true position isn't THAT big a deal. It might hurt him a little bit, but he is way too talented to let it affect him that much.

A ball hog who will never lead his team to a finals victory is what I mean.

Wow, he got his team to the Finals, and yes he got a finals victory. One player will never win a title alone, we have seen this multiple times, I cannot remember Iverson having a group of good solid players around him minus his stop in Denver(people will say as soon as he left the team became a contender, this goes more to Billups being amazing, he has done this for every team he's joined/Pistons(he was hurt and never got into the swing).


A similar argument just to get your juices going, so if the Timberwolves can get a big man like Dirk, they should pass because he is soft and will never lead his team to a finals victory even though he is surrounded by massive talent and a owner that spends money like water? DUCY those arguments don't work?

Iverson brings down every team he's played on because of his style of play, Jennings plays the same way. I want Dirk gone as a Mavs fan, he's useless, I hope they dump him and Howard for some young talent.

are you kidding me...dirks useless? hes one of the best players in the league and you would rather get rid of him for young talent that normally never pans out....

Not the answer I was expecting, I guess I just appreciate players differently. Remember one player can't win a Championship by himself, Jordan couldn't, Kobe Couldn't, KG Couldn't, Shaq couldn't the list goes on and on. I can't remember a 2nd dominate/allstar type player that Iverson had in his prime years in Philly.


Also when you trade for young talent, you can only hope they achieve Iverson/Dirk status, thats the whole goal to find one of those type of players...

Sure he's good, but he's proven that he can't win, and I'd like to start over fresh, since he's said he wants to retire rather soon.

When I say young talent I mean like Andre Igudola who is proven but still young and in their prime.
