    If that's all it took to get the #5 pick, I refuse to believe that we can't get a decent pick for a song.

    Ricky Rubio is a lock to land in Minnesota.

    Memphis could end up with Tyreke Evans and Jordan Hill. Not a bad draft day at all.

    I'm gonna laugh when Rubio doesn't drop to 5th. We should trump them again and trade for the 4th pick.

    T-wolves overpaid in a weak draft. I guess the blame for their troubles can't be put on Kevin McHale anymore.

    Is this for real?? The #5 pick for a guy who is always injured, and a past-his-prime, one dimensional shooter. Granted, the other players involved are mostly salary cap ballast...but the T'Wolves have bigger problems than accumulating cap space!

    Unless they blow the pick utterly, this will be a great deal for them.

    This also means we can forget about Butler/Jamison too, since Thomas and Songaila were the contracts they wnated to dump. Whoa. First the Rjeff news, then this. Not looking good so far.

    its still a lot of talent to give up for a gamble in the draft.

    Lots of deals being made, I'm wondering what KP is doing right now.

    The Wiz must've really coveted getting rid of their bad contracts in place of getting a Curry or Rubio. I wonder how much KP was in the discussions with Washington.

    Dang, until this happened I really thought Washington was our best trade partner. Too bad, any combo of #5, Arenas, Butler, or Jamison would have looked pretty good in scarlet and black...

    There is no mention of the 6th pick, so I assume that means Minnesota now has both the 5th and 6th picks. I wonder if they will move either, or perhaps package both picks to move up even further. It might actually make sense for a team like Memphis to do a two for one swap. Rubio doesn't want to go to Memphis. So, Memphis could trade their 2nd pick and end up getting two players instead of one. Of course, their cheap owner probably doesn't want two more guaranteed contracts. So, who knows?
