Timberwolves are strongly considering taking Enes Kanter

Yep, JazzFanz has been living right for quite some time now.

But seriously...if this were to happen, I would be ecstatic. At that point, I would love to see us package some combination of Millsap/Harris/12 to get back into the top 6-7 and take Brandon Knight. I am a big fan of his.

Of course, if the organization is sky high on Jimmer, we might just stand pat at 12.
 
I really think people are sleeping on the fact that getting Irving is a real possibility and we may not have to even give up anything to get him.

What would people prefer: Kanter/Jimmer or Irving/Motiejunas?
 
Smokescreen to get CLE to trade up with Minny? Otherwise it could go;

- Irving
- Kanter
- Williams
- Not an ideal draft for CLE's 1 and 4 picks.

CLE may be forced/scared into trading their 4 and other assets to Minny for #2 in order to make their draft dream. Problem with this is Minny ends up with Knight? as well .. and not a need. Nevermind.

I'd trade 3 and 12 for Irving .. so Irving and anyone. I just see ZERO chance of this happening, none.
 
Just curious: They talk about this being a weak draft. Where would Williams be projected if all of the expected players were still in the draft?
 
Yeah.... Having read that we're more interested in Kanter than Knight at this point, that trade leaves Minny out in the cold.

If we get Irving or Williams at 3, I'd be astounded by how well this draft worked out for us. If we take Kanter at 3, I'd also be happy.
 
It would be very interesting if Williams did fall to #3 and Kemba fell to #12. I would much rather have Irving or Knight instead of Kemba, but for a #12 pick he would be an absolute steal. In the other threads today with links to ESPN they keep talking about Kemba's likely slide in the draft so it is at least a possibility unlike Irving or Knight falling to #12. With those 2, I'd say we probably would have been the most successful (and lucky) team in the league on draft night.
 
It's pretty clear that the Wolves do not really want to take Williams at #2. Kanter is a better fit for them. Even if the Cavs take Williams at #1, the Wolves will likely try to trade Irving or take Kanter at #2. This being the case, the Wolves really should make a deal with the Jazz to swap 2 and 3, assuming Kanter isn't taken #1 by the Cavs. That way the Wolves get a good player that suits them and a little extra from the Jazz.
 
Also, I think it could be 50-50 that the player who drops to #3 is Irving, rather than Williams. The Cavs could still take Williams #1 and Knight #4.

Personally I think he'd still be in the 2-3 range. I'd still see the top tier as Kyrie Irving, Derrick Williams, and Harrison Barnes with guys like Jared Sullinger, Enes Kanter, Brandon Knight, Perry Jones as second tier.

If you were Cleveland and you couldn't trade the 4th pick, would you rather want Williams/Knight or Irving/Vesely or Irving/wait on Valanciunas? If Cleveland is really high on Williams I could easily see this happening.
 
If some crazy situation pops up and Irving isn't taken 1, I bet teams would trade up to get Irving at 2. I would trade up to 2 to get him for sure
 
If for some crazy reason Irving isn't taken #1, unless if we trade up to the #2 slot, there is no way that we get him. Minnesota is looking to trade badly and teams will give up a lot to get Irving IMO. I just don't see us landing him.

We also have to realize that with the draft being tomorrow, teams are literally just throwing crap out to the media to throw everybody off. I don't believe much of what is being said, I mean yesterday Pau Gasol was gonna get traded for Kevin Love and the #2, I'm just gonna wait until the draft and not worry right now.
