Around SBN: Dissecting Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

Mega Deal Monday (On a Wednesday)

Used-car-salesman_medium

I'd like to highlight an interesting trade idea brought up by Kurosawa over at the TWolvesBlog Forum:

Here's a three-way trade I like that's been floated on another board:

Clippers give: Cuttino Mobley, Tim Thomas, Pick No. 7, Future Wolves pick
Clippers get: Michael Redd, Pick No. 37

Wolves give: Pick No. 3, Pick No. 31
Wolves get: Pick No. 7, Pick No. 8, its own future pick owed to Clippers

Bucks give: Michael Redd, Pick. No. 8, Pick No. 37
Bucks get: Pick No. 3, Pick No. 31, Cuttino Mobley, Tim Thomas

Yesterday I mentioned the idea of trading the #3 pick (if it were Beasley) to the Milwaukee Bucks for Andrew Bogut and the 8th pick, this deal would land the Clips the shooting guard they are looking for as well as giving the Wolves picks 7 and 8 in this draft and the future pick owed to the Clippers. 

If the Wolves really do value 8-10 players in this draft, then this trade makes a whole lot of sense.  I'm guessing that Joe Alexander would probably be one of the selections and the other one would go to someone like Danilo Gallinari or...well, here's hoping that they have a level head about really thinking that there are 8-10 players worth their while in this draft.  

I'm not sure the Bucks would want to take on 2 relatively bad contracts with Thomas and Mobley, and this is probably the sticking point that would tank the deal, but it is an interesting idea if you buy into the idea that the draft is a pretty even affair after the two top picks.

Yeah...

...but good lord, we’re running out of things to talk about in Wolves land. You guys are hogging all the good stuff :)

BTW: Flip would be a great coach for you guys.

another three-way deal...

I agree that that deal would be great for MN and Milwaukee, but not-so-great for LA.

How about this one, in keeping with my Derrick Rose obsession:

Chicago gives: Derrick Rose
Chicago gets: Michael Beasley, Rashad McCants

Miami gives: Michael Beasley
Miami gets: O.J. Mayo, 2009 1st Round Pick owed to Minnesota

Minnesota gives: O.J. Mayo, Rashad McCants, 2009 Miami 1st Round Pick
Minnesota gets: Derrick Rose

If Gordon leaves Chicago, McCants is a logical replacement, and they’ll likely want something in addition to Beasley if he’s regarded as worse than Rose on Draft Night. Miami apparently loves Mayo (or at least he’s hitting it off with D-Wade). Minnesota gets a point guard.

I guess everyone gets a nice player...

...but I don’t know if Minny needs to part with that pick to get Rose. I don’t think he’s that far a head of Mayo and he’s behind Beasley. The Wolves can stay put and get Mayo or Beasley no matter what. That much is done. If they move, I think it will have to be down in order to get additional players/picks. I don’t think there is much incentive for them to move up because they’re going to be getting a guy that will only increase his standing as these workouts continue.

I doubt Minnesota would do it...

but it is a relatively simple trade that potentially gets each team what it wants (if Minnesota did want to draft Rose, which I haven’t heard or read anywhere, yet). There are seemingly credible reports that suggest Chicago wants Beasley (Joey Dorsey’s “insider” report, as well as the common sense idea that they need a power forward scorer) and Miami would like Mayo. Since a lot of experts have Rose labeled the top prize, this draft would require us to pay a premium (albeit a reasonable one) to land a franchise point.

Are we going to invite Rose for a workout? I would think so, but I keep hearing we’re going to invite 8-10 “potential 3rd picks” which would not include him.
