The more I have watched of Dunn the more I am a huge fan. If the Wolves can get a package together for Noel, or get toughness and hustle for Martin, or 2nd rounders picks with potential (31-40), then I'm in. I like the lineup you have PorkChop.

Be nice to have a athletic, lengthy and aggressive lineup ala Westbrooke types.

I don't know if I like that trade for the wolves first off, I like ricky better than noel. (I understand ricky limitations and they worry me) Also I don't like the trade because it puts us in a bad spot in the draft, first what happens if the wolves get a top 2 pick next year, so we pass on a top 2 prospect for Dunn because we don't have a pg. Also what happens if the wolves get like the 6th pick and Dunn is not available. We are left out to dry. I don't want to go into next year with no pg because of ping pong balls. Also putting huge faith that Dunn is good (I like him). What happens if he sucks, the wolves lose 2 years of development/playoff hopes, because of 1 trade.

I am a fan of drafting Dunn and keeping Ricky. Why can't the Wolves have 2 point guards worth playing? Other teams do. Having extra ball handlers is always good. Let Dunn establish himself before exploring Ricky deals.

Bazz and Martin for Gilchrist. Charlotte is a game out of the playoffs and Martin and Bazz give them scoring.

Guys I like....Myles Turner, Allen Crabbe, Jerian Grant, Nerlens Noel, Rondea Hollis Jefferson,
Aaron Gordon

I like this idea if we can't get Simmons or Ingram. Dunn is the real deal and Ricky is pretty valuable. Would be nice to have both.

With Rickys lack of confidence as a shooter I would worry about his physique if they bring in a pg that's a high first round pick and a potential replacement . Is he able to handle that? Ricky has a role, it's a matter of if he's willing to accept it .

I think you mean his psyche. Would drafting Dunn be a good idea? Absolutely yes!!! Would it hurt Ricky's psyche? No, Ricky's been playing professionally since age 14. He's not exactly weak-minded. And if by chance drafting Ricky would negatively impact his psyche, then so what. You draft the best player available with a high lottery pick and you let the chips fall where they may.

But let's keep two things in mind. First, we don't and can't know now whether we will even be in a position to draft Dunn. Second, although I'm a high Dunn fan, there is no telling how good Dunn will be as an NBA player. So let's not trade a proven solid PG font the assumption that we will be able to draft a guy who may not be available to draft and who, if drafted by us, may not be good much less better than Ricky.
