Grizzlies/Timberwolves TRADE

[Grizzlies GM (Max)]

Grizzlies TRADE:
-- Pick 1.03

Timberwolves TRADE:
-- Pick 1.05
-- Pick 1.06
-- $3M in cash

I accept. I move back two spots and secure myself another top 6 pick. I see the biggest drop off in this draft not after pick 3, but after pick 6, so I'm getting two top tier players (IMO) instead of just one. Okafor/Russell would be really damn nice, and both are likely stars, but I'm excited to come away with two other players who I think have star potential. Good luck Greg!

I accept. Although I hate losing a pick, the talent drop after the top 3 is significant enough to do this deal. I very much look forward to adding Okafor or Russell to my squad. Good dealing, Max.

[Thunder GM (Tiago)]

Wow, what a payoff for a 2 spot drop, and one I believe is a huge mistake by MIN.

I don't think any player in this draft justifies this kind of trade, but since most people other than me seem to believe Okafor and Russell will be stars, and that there's a huge drop off after #3, I have the approve this because of that perceived value.

Approve (1-0)

[Suns GM (Roberto)]

I agree with everything Tiago said. I think that there's at least 5 rookies that will start from day 1 and 5 more will receive enough PT to have some fantasy value right away.

Approve (2-0)

[Nuggets GM (Joe)]

Approve 3-0, well, I don't need to say anything. Tiago said it all.
