If Kris Dunn's gone at No. 5, Minnesota's Tom Thibodeau has Oklahoma's Buddy Hield next up on Wolves' board, sources tell @TheVertical.
[Edit: of course, this would be an obvious smoke screen, wouldn't it? ]
We'll see. I wouldn't hate it, but I'd be more okay with it if Murray is off the board.
I think if we keep the pick, we're taking a guard. Probably focus on frontcourt help in free agency.
If we wind up with Murray, it will have been an outstanding smoke screen from Thibs and company (especially if we trade down to do it!).

FWIW: Murray camp has no feel right now that he's going to #Twolves. Trade leverage leak, sure, but Woj intel on Hield here likely right.

Don't forget the smoke screening that could be going on. A lot of the time when a team says they need something it's just to throw off the scent. Saying they want shooting could mean that they are really interested in one of the bigs. OR it could just mean they really want shooting. I don't know
Or it's reverse psychology and they really want what they said they want, but they think no one would believe them!
I wonder what the rumor-to-actually-happens ratio is....something like 10:1 I think this time of year.
Mind blowin lol Jaylen Brown is pick then I change my vote
