Ruff Draft

How do you handle it all?

Resign Bassy to a moderate contract. He played well here, and still has potential.

Sign Gomes to a deal, but a little less than the full MLE.

One-year deal for Richards.

Craig will probably be gone. It'll cost too much to keep him, and I think Gomes is more valuable to our team. If a S&T is possible I say we explore it.

Hopefully a deal can be made of our garbage. Jaric, Snyder, Walker, etc. I expect Snyder will walk. His contract is just nickles & dimes.

Draft Mayo with our first. Look at someone like DeVon Hardin in the 2nd. Or package both of them up for Robin Lopez.

Foye/ Telfair
Mayo/ McCants
Gomes/ Brewer
Jefferson
Lopez/ Richards

--

My 2nd option if Mayo isn't available us...

Draft Brook Lopez. Get another big-man with the other picks. Hardin or the other Lopez.

Foye/ Bassy
McCants/ Jaric
Gomes/ Brewer
Jefferson
Lopez/ Hardin or Lopez/ Richards

Although I think Lopez would be a nice pick-up for Minne. I prefer someone with the talent level of Mayo. He could be our 2nd star with Jefferson.

Mario Chalmers & D.J. White are two good picks to consider also.

I completely agree on Mayo (unless he pulls a rookie kobe and only wants to go to certain teams). Hes got the highest potential in the class as far as i can tell.
Id look at signing patrick o'bryant, hes obviously done in GS, and hasnt shown a whole lot but the potential is there, and there arent aexactly a stack of options at teh center spot.

I dunno though, if a guard is drafted whether all 3 of telfair/foye/mccants will be kept, i really think Shad will start getting held back if hes left on the bench, and next season really could be his break out year.. dudes one of my favourite players but if hes not going to start he may have value in a trade. (maybe he and Jaric to the nugs for nene (depending on health)

Trade the 2 second rounders, and possibly a resigned craig smith for a 20's ish pick, get r.lopez, ogilvy etc.

Foye/Telfair
Mayo/ FA?
Brewer/Gomes
Jefferson/ FA?
Nene/Lopez

-EDIT- lot of holes in the above theory, but its early, ill look into it a bit heavier later lol

Very true about McCants. He plays now as a star 6th man, but could do more on another team. I really like Nene and he would be a nice pick-up here. I totally forgot about POB. He hasn't proved much but for the price it would be worth a shot.

I definately think if we get the number 2 pick and rose is gone it would be worth trading Beasley, not sure exactly what he would fetch but chicago definately seems like a candidate.... even trading him + a bad contract to whoever gets the 4/5 pick for Mayo

And yeah, with POB i just figure the wolves have enough time to try and develop a 7 footer, him, Sene etc... see if they cant get one of them to turn out to be a steal.

I would love to have Rose, but hate to see Foye go.

:-\

Rose/Foye may work temporarily to at least let Foye gain some trade value, Rose/Mccants would be an insane back court in the future IMO

Yeah. Foye would be gone quick for a decent big-man.

I absolutely love the idea of Rose/McCants. Those two would be tanks out there.

I think with the forgone conclusion the wolves wouldnt get the number 1 pick (call it a hunch) i decided on Mayo, but on paper Rose/Mccants has the potential to be one of the best back courts in the league in a couple of years..

Rashad McCants is garbage, I don't know why you guys think so highly of him.

And why is that? He obviously deserves a "Damn" in your user title.

Lol I should probably get around to changing that, since I put that on there at the beginning of the season when I still like Shad, and wanted Beasley over Rose.

Anyway, McCants can fill up a box score (scoring only really) decently, but he is a terrible team player. Countless times, he will dribble the ball for several seconds only to put up a terrible shot. He's a chucker. He plays like he's never played team basketball before. I went to around 10 games this year, close enough to see the expressions on players faces, and I've seen fellow teammates roll their eyes at some of the things he does.

That's not to say I have no hope for him, just not enough for me to want him on the team. If his attitude would change and he would accept his role on the team as a sixth man, he could be one of the best sixth men in the league, a valuable asset for any winning team. As it stands now, a guy like McCants is not the type of guy you want around if you want to be serious about winning games.

McCants absolutely must control himself with the ball. I'm with you on that one.
