What if these (legitimate) rumors came to fruition?


Trade 1-Trade Al Jeff, #16, #23, and filler (Gomes?) to DET for Prince, Wilcox, and #7

Trade 2- Trade Pek, Both 2nd Rounders to HOU for #14

These trades leave us with #4, #7, and #14

At #4 take Cousins

At #7 take Aminu

At #14 take Henry/George

This scenario accomplishes so many of our goals going into this draft. We take the BPA with Cousins and set up a nice tandem with Darko. (no longer have to worry about room for Pek) Also we address our need for athletic wing players to run the triangle offense. Our new lineup would look like:

PG- Flynn, Sessions (Rubio)

SG- Henry/George, Brewer, Ellington

SF- Price, Aminu, Brewer

PF- Love, Wilcox

C- Cousins, Darko

Dont get me wrong this is not a playoff team right off the bat but its sets us up as one of the most athletic and entertaining young clubs in the league. (Call us OKC Thunder Lite) We set ourselves up for the next 5 years as we keep almost all of our cap-room intact and an electrifying playmaker waiting in Europe. Now for the sad truth that as much as this makes sense and could feasible happen, it will never happen because we are and will always be the Wolves.
