The Wolves can’t trade their pick before the draft. They actually can’t trade the pick at all. They can draft a player another team wants and then trade that player but they can’t just trade the pick before they make a selection. So there is a 0% chance of the Wolves trading before they see who is available.

Next time you want to talk about the NBA Draft please consult with me first so that I can check your post for errors.

I’m a little leery of Mr. Love - if playing on a big-time UCLA program with a shot at a college championship wasn’t enough to whip him in to (peak) shape, what are the odds that he’ll be staying on his $60 a day diet when the Wolves are back in the lottery next year?

That said, I love the idea of him grabbing a board and hitting Corey Brewer with a wicked transition pass for a quick dunk! (Man I hope Brew is hitting the protein shakes like crazy this summer).

Go Wolves!!

First Hoiberg will issue a press release saying Beasley was measured at only 6′4″. Then McHale will issue a press release saying, in light of Beasley’s height and the overriding importance of big men in the NBA, he wants to trade up for Kevin Love, fearing Love won’t be on the board at #3.

Riley, knowing McHale is a draft genius, will beat McHale to the punch, swap picks with Chicago and draft Love. The Chicago brain trust, knowing what genius’ Riley and McHale are, will take Brook Lopez at #2. McHale will then take Beasley and claim the original 6′4″ report was a typo. Seattle will take Rose and move to Oklahoma. Mayo - who will be in jail - falls to Memphis.

Totally makes sense. But here’s the kicker. After Boston, with the last pick of the first round, takes Dutch PF Henk Norel. McHale will immediately trade Beasley to Boston for Norel and Boston’s next three second round picks. McHale will then claim Norel was the guy they wanted all along.

This is all contingent on it being a smokescreen and McHale doesn’t actually trade up to get Kevin Love. I know he’s high on Love (who isn’t), but not even McLovin would do that. And I’m really excited about this Norel guy. They say he’s the next Rik Smits.

We’re clearly going for both Lopez twins.
