Fingers crossed.
Have to assume this blows the "Rui promise" rumor out the water?
Fingers crossed.
i think he was referring to Keldon Johnson. but there is only one KJ - Kevin Johnson.
This.
Phoenix allegedly has wanted Tyus for awhile. Though would be weird if he was traded away from his Brosef Ryan.KATMANDUDE wrote: ↑Tue Jun 11, 2019 2:59 pm A guy on another site pointed out that
1. Phx just worked out Brandon Clarke, who is not expected to go Top-10
2. Minny has Coby White & Sekou coming in, both expected to go Top-6 or 8 now.
Maybe a trade comin'?

It doesn’t have quite the same ring as Doodie Ebi, but unlike him this Doumbouya kid sure as hell looks like an NBA talent.j2j wrote: ↑Tue Jun 11, 2019 4:16 pmSEKOU!!!

11 and Tyus isn't enough to get to 6.
Damn, no.

We've had the #1 on a great year to have it. We've had top 5's multiple times. Almost all of them we had no certainty to who we'd take with the franchise on the line that high. And yet this year is the most intriguing I can remember. It's not just the player we pick but the method by which we do business. Move up? Move back? Get and extra pick? Move an existing player? A future pick? We get to see how our future might run.Moses Scurry wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 10:13 amWho knows, that's why it's so exciting!witljon wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 4:53 amKevin Porter Jr?Moses Scurry wrote: ↑Tue Jun 11, 2019 3:13 pm I can't wait for Rosas to make a WTF pick and then the guy turns out to be awesome.

Players they take of course determine the outcome but surely it's more interesting to watch the new FO operate. And while draft won't determine it by the end of FA we will know what they think of the current roster and when they think we can compete.
Seems so hard to move up in the Draft, being 11th is pretty unattractive I would think for teams on the top 7 or 8 right now.KATMANDUDE wrote: ↑Tue Jun 11, 2019 2:59 pm A guy on another site pointed out that

I don't know what the Wolves are thinking, but I think there isn't much if any difference in picks 4 through 12 or so.Thrillkill wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 10:52 amWe've had the #1 on a great year to have it.

I have a feeling we make some kind of splash on draft night. Rosas comes from an organization known for moving for their guy and worrying about recouping the assets it costs later. Known for getting additional assets by sliding back if their guy isn't there. Also know for knowing well the international game.
I believe they will attempt to use a future 1st or Saric to slide up to take Doumboya. If they can't they will sit and pray he falls to 11. If he doesn't we will slide back a few picks. Just my guess but even if everything falls right and we get our guy at 11 I still think some kind of move comes later. Saric move has been my guess.
The difference between 4-12 can be a huge difference to different teams. Fit with style and roster are huge when talent is similar. What it's worth to move is TBD and may be too much but as you said the talent is not that different. Add paying less in salary and a team may be willing to move down cheaply.witljon wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 5:54 pmI don't know what the Wolves are thinking, but I think there isn't much if any difference in picks 4 through 12 or so.Thrillkill wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 10:52 amWe've had the #1 on a great year to have it.

Its kinda a weak draft, but we should get just as good a player where we're at as the Lakers, Bulls, Suns....
I agree with this. You get the pick of the litter. The 12th pick might be as good as the 4th pick, but doesn't fit as good.Thrillkill wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 7:49 pmThe difference between 4-12 can be a huge difference to different teams.
