Knicks take on salary but get the #1 pick...

Minnesota gets #8 and a 3rd Kentucky guy in Randle...

Philly gets rid of Hortford for 2 serviceable boom/bust players and possibly a 2nd rounder from us but that's a maybe

Lord you gave up a lot for such a questionable pick. The absolute most I would offer is the 8th, 27th and Dallas 2023. I can’t give up any players for this years first.

Is this a joke? Why would the Wolves do this?

I would do this trade in a heartbeat but I don't know why Twolves like Randle so much?

I haven't watch Horford much recently but think he can play some 4? I like him because he is a spacer and I think he can start next to MRob and help him out. I know his contract is gawd awful but feel he could be movable again ala same reason GS took on Wiggins.

From what I read, Minny wants to trade their #1 pick for an impact player. If this is the case, we don't have a shot

The Minnesota Timberwolves have interest in trading down from the No. 1 overall pick or out of the drat altogether for a win-now player, executives around the NBA tell Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer.

Towns can't become a free agent until 2024, but the Wolves have an accelerated timeline of contention. Russell is signed through 22-23. The Wolves last reached the playoffs in 2018.

Gersson Rosas took over the Minnesota front office in 2019.

The Golden State Warriors also are believed to have interest in trading down from No. 2 for a win-now player.

I think minn would give us #1 for Barrett straight up as he would be a great fit there, but I wouldn’t dare do it. Barrett would go #1 in this draft.

From the insider Smackeddog occasionally cites on the Atlanta fan board. Take with a grain of salt.
Minny wants a pick swap with a top 8 team and a 2021 lightly protected 1st like Atlanta got from Dallas. I was told, no one was interested. Minny offered Atlanta the pick for a pick swap and Hunter and was quickly declined and they did the same for Kevin H and was quickly declined as Atlanta had no interest in trading anyone in their core. Atlanta did counter with Bruno and #6 and was declined. As of right now, i am told a sitting offer of 1st/James Johnson for #6 and OKC 1st 2022 is the standing offer. They tired the same with NY. Wanted Robinson/#8 for #1 and was declined. NY offered 8/27 for 1st overall as a standing offer

True...This draft isn't that strong at the top. Doubt anyone bites.

Really thought Hornets would be all over moving up to target Wiseman. But they may just feel comfortable with taking Onyeka Okongwu.

No thanks. Don’t want the #1 pick unless Wolves are also offering KAT which ain’t happening
