Trade rumor and Mock

First- the rumor:

http://www.examiner....-big-man-coming

NBA trade rumors suggest a Minnesota Timberwolves trade for a big man could be coming soon. The disappointment that the team has had in Derrick Williams is continuing and according to a report from Friday (Jan. 18), Wolves president David Kahn is looking to make a deal....The reason Williams is being brought up is because he is one of the main players that the Wolves have been shopping. It's possible that they could work up a deal that sends Williams and center Nikola Pekovic in the same deal.

Trade Machine:

Bobcats get Nikola Pekovic and Derrick Williams

Timberwolves get Hendo, Biz and Reggie Williams, (Portland 1st Rnd from Bobcats)

It is also believed that there could be an effort to bring in Phoenix Suns outcast Marcin Gortat but that is yet to be official confirmed. The club without a doubt are most likely to chase a forward or center before the end of the trade window.

Wouldnt mind taking a shot at Derrick Williams. Play him at the 4 and see if he works out, from what I've seen of the guy he just isnt a SF and the Wolves have been killing his trade value by playing him there. He can already hit threes about as well as Mullens and there is simply no way the rest of his game is worse than Byron

Don't think Charlotte wants an underachieving bust taking minutes away from MKG or JT and the only way to get Pek is to take on D-Will.

A more realistic scenario would be

Charlotte Receives

C- Marcin Gortat

2013 Top 10 protected pick

Suns Receive

DeSagana Diop (huge expiring contract)

Would do this yesterday, now, tomorrow.... make that happen.

I love CP8789's deal... BUT, I think Williams still has a lot of potential at the 4 and I don't see that interfering with MKG's development. Add to that, Pekovic is a legitimate big man. He is basically Gortat only younger. If we could swing a deal for Williams and Pekovic without giving up a pick, I'm all over that.

1st of all Williams plays the 4, so you dont have to worry about MKG/Taylor's minutes

2nd- you can keep dreaming that Diop and a pick will get us Gortat..

3rd- Pek is more than just a younger Gortat

Pek - 6'11, 290 lbs = a muscle bound, road graded of a beast child

avg 16 pts and 9 rebs

Gortat - 6'11 240 lbs

avg 11 pts and 9 rebs

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
