If he's there at 9, great. I personally think that Len would be a great fit with his size athleticism, international background and experience a year much like the Wolves' own injury-riddled season....

Washington is slowly becoming a team that I will have to root for. Assuming, that is that they take Len or Zeller to pair with Beal and Wall.

P.S. I am in on Muhammad if the guys we assume will...

We could be dropped to 12 :shrug:

Which really brings us back to the 2nd guessing of the Harden trade and whether they should have simply paid him and dealt with finances/trades this summer. Where the amnesty could have helped was in...

"Out of nowhere" was more directed towards McLemore. Noel gets grouped into the same boat because #1 he may have been considered a top 5 pick but Zeller and Muhammad were typically 1 and 2 to start...

1. Zeller: good hands, good feet, very active
2. Len: Javale McGee with a brain
3. McLemore: Ray Allen comparison is getting to KG levels of overuse
4. Muhammad: I could be snake-bitten on this...

Nice. I'd like to see a new take on the logo though.

This reminds me of a trade I proposed last year - Williams and #18 for Thomas and #2, but I don't have the faith in MacLemore that I had in Beal.

I'm not saying that attitude and those things aren't important. My point here simply is that I tend to trust the long term returns on players who were projected high to start the season more than...

As a SG he'd have nice size though. Sounds like he performed fairly well at the combine. My standpoint is take the bigger more highly touted player even if he didn't have a better year and you'll be...

I'd rather go with Shabazz...

It doesn't really take away any of the concerns, but I think it would improve perception since there are connotations we automatically connect to closed doors and backroom deals as it were.

Sorry for the confusion - meant to say that the computer age makes any number of things possible as far as tampering and using some sort of identifier that an auditor wouldn't detect by usual means.

Anything can be rigged, especially with computers. A live show with actual ping pong balls (that can be sold for profit as "commemorative") would help the credibility. Such a show would be no less...

I'm a conspiracy theorist who picked NOLA to win it last year (and Cleveland the year before). As I said then, a lot of these proposed "every lottery team has a reason for it to be 'rigged' for them"...

It makes Presti look worse. He's been lauded for this great team he built, but it has minimal offensive talent and the Serge and Perkins decisions become more questionable.

It's a free country, man. And I was bored :p

Thanks, man. I think the mock draft is a good idea for later in the summer assuming we can get enough posters involved from the forum and the proper set-up. Last years' became kind of lame when the...

Mine:

1. Draft Alex Len; draft Archie Goodwin
2. Trade Luke Ridnour to Boston for Courtney Lee
3. Sign Anthony Morrow (can't be more than the $4M he made this year)
4. Re-sign Bud ($4M?)
5....

I thought that this slow time (for the Wolves) between the season ending and the draft might be a good time for a fantasy thread along the lines of "what would you do?"

Play out the offseason with...

Here's some objectivity:

1. Memphis tried on several occasions to get something for Mayo, but the trades kept getting nixed at the last minute.

2. Mayo is the one who didn't want a long-term...

There is a different snippit that I read saying Saunders basically just let go whoever wasn't currently under contract - Philo and others' contracts were up and they were simply working on a...

I hate these kinds of terms. I feel like we are back to the "MVP" debate i.e. is it "best player in the league" (Lebron every year) or biggest difference with and without a teams best player (Durant?...

Splitter is an interesting idea, but I would think that the Spurs should have the inside track if they want him back. Hickson also somewhat interests me, but will probably be overpaid. No one else...

The more "realistic" option would seem to be to trade for Asik versus Gortat if Houston somehow convinced Dwight to sign. Remember, Gortat was the original Asik - bench center that teams believed...
