And then what? Al Jefferson got us to the playoffs, and we saw what happened when other teams utilized his lack of defense. Opposing SFs, SGs, whatever will have absolute field-days against him. Can he put up a lot of points? Yeah? Well so can CJ Miles. The Wolves would be much better off aiming for a 2 who can hit the shot at a good clip (which he can) but also be a competent defender. Instead, they have added yet another defensive sieve to their lineup. Yes, they might make the playoffs, but you will never be a contender with Chase Budinger as your starting 2 (rofl). Instead of going BPA and possibly trading a player like Sullinger to swap him for a good 2, you have just created another liability. So, the Wolves will still have to be searching for a better 2 if they ever want to be western conference contenders.

You are overstating how bad he is at defense. He isn't a good defender, but he his defense isn't that detrimental to the team.

Also, comparing every role playing scoring wing to CJ Miles is getting old.
 
Givony broke the Tyreke for Lowry rumor, was challenged but is not backing down.

Jonathan Givony ‏@DraftExpress
Sources say Houston has an offer of Lowry, the #14 and #16 picks for Tyreke Evans and the #5 pick on the table. Up to Sacramento to decide.

Worst thing that can happen to a team is a trade being reported prematurely. Agents, players, families start freaking out. Deny deny deny...

Yep, having an opinion that differs from other people (or from a select few people) is a terrible thing.

No having an opinion is fine. Trying to make everything a debate because you feel the need to give your opinion on everything is stupid though.

Especially when every one of the debates is LOOSELY based on the thread in any way, and spans multiple pages with back and forth. Tiring.
 
I'm with Cy and Margo here. Buddinger (with a great contract) for #18 seems fair to Minnesota. It's ONLY a steal for Houston if they manage to use their three mediocre picks to move up for something better. But by itself, I think the odds for #18 to reach Buddinger's value is slightly below 50-50.

Maybe next year we'll be the team in a position to stockpile mid-first round picks and then maybe move up.

Say your name three times really loud.
 
I am really starting to think that Cy is S2M/InGameStataskdjfas....When does he break from his reformation and start breaking down every quote into 100 pieces. LOL.
 
Let it be known that while I agree with Cy's notion that this is far from a bad deal for Minny, I do not however agree that debating about whether or not Budinger is a SG or SF for multiple pages was warranted.

According to Hollinger the Israeli player they got should be a rotation player as well if he comes over.
 
Mark Deeks: Wolves may well start Rubio, Ridnour, Budinger, Love and Pekovic next year. The first all white starting lineup for about 800 years.

Please let the Jazz stereotype die.
 
The Jazz could offer more. Jefferson, Hayward/Burks, Millsap/Kanter, GS pick...not a bunch of mid-teen picks. But Howard's a bitch.
 
Glad Jazz are not busy pandering to this......

Stefan Bondy: Nets are really underselling this Deron birthday thing. They couldn't at least get him a magician?
 
Speaking of DWill, apparently he refuses to go to the Rockets even if Howard is traded there.

Good for him :)
