New York turned down Atlanta's offer of #8 and 10 for #3 according to information. What do the Wolves ahve to offer?

Re: Wolves possibly looking to move up for Garland
I don't see moving up unless we go to 6 or 7 for White. That means giving up at least one future first round pick and I doubt that they will let us have extensive protection on it. Like top-8 protected dropping down to top 3-4 protected. WOudl you do that to take Colby White?

Re: Wolves possibly looking to move up for Garland
I looked at a 2020 mock draft from a reasonable site, and in their first round they have 11 point guards.
Lets take this one step at a time. Save our first round pick for 2020 and look PG then, and take the best player available at 11 this season.

Re: Wolves possibly looking to move up for Garland
Fuck no. This team has a real chance to be inside the top 10 next year. If you are going to trade for a PG, it needs to be Garland. That's a moot point because we don't have the pieces to outbid other team's.mlhouse wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2019 9:17 pmI don't see moving up unless we go to 6 or 7 for White.

Re: Wolves possibly looking to move up for Garland
Not White. Garland or Culver yes. But they won’t be there at 6 or 7. We’ll, maybe Culver lasts until 6.mlhouse wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2019 9:17 pmI don't see moving up unless we go to 6 or 7 for White.

Re: Wolves possibly looking to move up for Garland
I can support this. Beyond Ja Morant, the PGs in this draft don't do enough for me to sacrifice anything to move up. I liked Coby White at 11, not at 6.

Re: Wolves possibly looking to move up for Garland
Am I missing something on Culver? I think he is a good prospect but I would cringe taking him int he top 5 or even top 8. Someone probably will, but I don't see it personally. I think Sekou is a much better pick than Hunter or Culver. Im not sure Culver is that much better than Hachimura, but he probably is. I just can't see it.KevinBaconIsNotMyHero wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2019 9:36 pmNot White. Garland or Culver yes. But they won’t be there at 6 or 7.

Re: Wolves possibly looking to move up for Garland
I think he’s the 3rd best player in the draft. He can create for himself and he’s the best non PG initiator and playmaker. But not everyone sees that. So disagreeing is fine.mlhouse wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2019 10:13 pmAm I missing something on Culver? I think he is a good prospect but I would cringe taking him int he top 5 or even top 8.

I'm guessing moving up for Garland means no D'Angelo Russell.

Re: Wolves possibly looking to move up for Garland
I actually think they want both. Neither are pure point guards. Both are above average shooters. They would be able to play off of each other nicely, presumably.

Re: Wolves possibly looking to move up for Garland
Rosas would be an instant legend in Minnesota if he could pull that off.
