"The Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento Kings, Charlotte Hornets, Minnesota Timberwolves and Phoenix Suns are all open to offers for their lottery picks, according to sources."

Oh boy.

Wilby over Schweddy. Wilby plays better D, better quickness, not a bad shooter, I saw some of his range in the tourney. Wilby seems a little erratic and like Shved, a little turnover prone, but that will improve. And we haven't seen him face NBA talent yet so let's not give Schweddy the edge there.

I'm tired of hearing about his Olympic stats, time to move on without him.

Cam, glad to hear they brought him in for a workout.

I just want another option and competition. We better be looking for a backup PG/PF in the 2nd round

You almost always don't find players in the 2nd round. a 2nd rounder who can come in year 1 and contribute positively never happens

I understand this, but if you draft correctly you can pick up people and figure out in Summer league if they can give you something in year one or if you need to find a vet 1 yr rental. You just want competition.

Maybe or never which is it? Lol I guess just give up. Wait I thought we wanted to be a championship level team like maybe the Spurs. The 2nd round is a place you can get some pretty nice players. Chandler Parsons and Lance are 2 of the top RFAs in basketball this year and both were 2nd round picks. Yeah just sell em for cash nobody will turn out.

One guy I think I'd like to see invited to camp is DeAndre Kane. If Fred actually fixed his shot and he can hit 3s he might be one of those UFAs that end up being useful in the league. He plays and looks bigger than his measurables which are pretty good to begin with.

SPENCER DINWIDDIE!

If the Wolves go with a big man early, I'd hope we can land this guy and start him

I brought him up the other day. I like him a lot, but he probably wouldn't contribute right away. Coming off a major injury. Play it slow with him and make sure we get a steal.

Are they still going to have the draft or did the wolves hiring a coach cause the NBA to cancel this?
