The Wolves wouldn't trade Kevin Love straight up for Pau, let alone Love & the #2 pick.
Still pissed the Rockets took Royce White and then the Celtics picked Fab Melo over Draymond Green. |

Dubs got Green in the 2nd round, love that pick. I love everything about our draft actually.

But they're not gonna play Pau at center..He struggles too much & is much more natural at the 4 spot..No telling what Minnesota was thinking

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
Umm yes they will play Pau at center.
Remember, this is Minnesota you're talking about.
Chris Bosh has officially withdrawn from Team USA so this is the remaining list of finalists:
PG's: CP3/Deron/Westbrook
SG's: Kobe/Gordon/Harden
SF's: LeBron/Durant/Melo/Iggy/Gay
PF's: Love/Griffin/Davis/Odom
C's: Chandler
4 gotta get cut. Thinking Odom, Iggy, Gay, Harden.

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
Minnesota would probably start Gasol at the 4 next to that P guy

I don't know what the Celtics were thinking taking Fab over Draymond Green. I, personally, thought that Doc would want to coach Green after all the praise Izzo gave him.
As far as trading Love straight up for Pau, I am going with Notorious on this one, that is a joke; also agreeing that Pau and the #2 pick wouldn't even be close to enough.
PG's: CP3/Deron/Westbrook
SG's: Kobe/Gordon/Harden
SF's: LeBron/Durant/Melo/Iggy/Gay
PF's: Love/Griffin/Davis/Odom
C's: Chandler
I am thinking Iggy, Gay and Odom will be cut. I just thought about it and Harden does have a good chance of getting cut as Westbrook could easily fill in as a two guard. We are definitely going to be playing small compared to a normal NBA 5 man, but I have no idea the size of other countries, but I know we, without a doubt, have a disgusting advantage in talent.
It is too bad Wade had to have surgery and Bosh dropped out as winning the Championship and the Olympics in the same year would have been cool.

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
Bosh dropped out because of his abdominal injury.
As for the Wolves, their plan is to team up Pau with Rubio & Love. So they would likely trade Williams, Pekovic, Barea and Martell Webster.
They then turn around and sign Jamal Crawford.
Rubio/Ridnour
Crawford/Johnson
Budinger/FA
Love/Tolliver
Gasol/Darko

Very decent lineup though Pau's game has diminished in a lot of ways, in my opinion; it will definitely improve the Timberwolves. |

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
I cannot agree with the Sullinger sleeper/steal of the draft talk.
The dude just doesn't have an effective NBA game. The parallels between him and Sean May startle me. I see his ceiling as someone who produces off the bench but never really becomes starter material. But I'm no scout, or a GM. So, we shall see.
I like the Fab Melo pick more. At least Melo can be a defensive stalwart.

I worry a lot about Fab Melo's 'Basketball IQ' (I hate to use that atypical phrase). It has always been discussed by the 'experts' and is pretty evident on the court. |
