Bargnani has shown every sign of being worth $10/year. After he moved into the starting 5, he average 19-6 on 47% shooting (43% from three). He’s gotta get better on the glass, but he’s also shown a lot of potential to surpass Bosh at the 4. Between that and the fact that Toronto seems to have decided Bosh is leaving, that’s a pretty good deal to offer Bargnani.

I mean, when you really think about it, Bargnani would be a perfect compliment to Rubio and Jefferson. 7′1″, athletic, a good shot blocker, and can shoot the lights out from deep. That’s basically all our needs rolled into one player.

Wall is the real deal. I would be somewhat surprised if someone overtook him for the first pick. If we get lucky enough to draft him, I can’t see us passing. He’s the type of player you build around.

Like the wolves will ever get the first pick. But our own boy Aldrich at 4ish would be a nice fit.

. . . And next year New York-centric media types will lambast the Wolves for not trading Wall for whatever dead weight the Knicks have laying around.

Come on — picture it in your head what would happen if the Wolves won the lottery next year. This board would light up like a Christmas tree. Having the chance at Wall plus Rubio and Flynn would be a pretty nice problem to have.

Someone’s stock will rise by then.

If we get the #1 so what ? More trade bait / offers coming in.

It wouldn’t suprise me one bit if the Wolves ended up with the #1 pick next year with Wall, a PG, as the clear cut overall #1. That is kind of how their luck runs.

Next year is all about John Wall. The 6′4″ Lebron James. Our whole team should be on the block to make Wall happen. Start the whisper campaign.

Remember, there was a lot of talk about the Warriors looking long and hard at Hill in the draft because the 4s they had were not bringing any muscle. As it was, Curry was supposedly number 2 on their entire board, so they went that direction. They might want some beef as a contrast to the tall thin guys they have.
