Myles Brown says:
Beasley.

Jun.26 at 11:04 am

BETCATS says:
They take OJ and trade him and Telfair for Beasley. Everybody wins and looses at the same time.

Jun.26 at 11:05 am

Gerard Himself says:
BET, sounds like a good move for both, actually a trade that would make some sense.

Jun.26 at 11:05 am

BETCATS says:
But a Beasley/Jefferson front court will be sick in 4 years from now, and mildly ill in 2 years.

Jun.26 at 11:06 am

BETCATS says:
Gerald sometimes i make sence.

Donn says:
Isn’t Kevin McHale trading this pick to the Celtics for Brian Scalabrine, Dee Brown, and one of Red Aurabach old cigars.

Jun.26 at 11:08 am

Benoit Benjamin says:
Nope Donn, he’ll pick robin lopez whon he confused with his brother and perpetuate the overall suckiness of the Wolves drafting since KG. Mchale’s the man.

BETCATS says:
a Lopez/Jefferson front court has a lot of potential to be good. But i heard Brook Lopez talk at some press event, he sounded like he rode on the short bus…

Keith says:
Mayo. It’s a slight gamble but one that I think will pay off.

Jun.26 at 11:19 am

TADOne says:
Myles, I thought you were buying a coat for Mayo?

Jun.26 at 11:21 am

Myles Brown says:
Id still rather give it to Beasley, but Im happy with either one. Just no Lopez or Love please.

Jun.26 at 11:22 am

BETCATS says:
Darrel Arthur?

Jun.26 at 11:22 am

Myles Brown says:
Cause it would make sense for the Heat to just draft Mayo and go after Elton Brand rather than spending time on Beasley, who Riley reportedly doesnt like anyway.

Jun.26 at 11:42 am

DP says:
Love doesn’t even make sense. Al and Love? Lopez sounds a bit more exciting even though both him and Love are stiffs.

Jun.26 at 11:57 am

Jukai says:
I’m for Lopez. All the stars in this draft wont work out in the T-Wolves’ system. They might as well draft a seven foot role player who’ll be able to play right off the bat and ride the lottery next year. Or trade up. Just no Mayo please.

Jun.26 at 11:58 am

Jukai says:
Brooke Lopez will really help Jefferson cause then Al can play at power forward and not have to worry about guarding people twice as big as him. I like it.

iLL wiLL says:
Trade the 3rd overall pick to the Raptors for Joey Graham, a new Gatorage jug, and a dozen cases of headbands for Telfair and McCants.

Jun.26 at 12:11 pm

Mendel says:
do not hold the MAYO

Jun.26 at 12:20 pm

Snowda says:
I’m hoping we can somehow get Beasley. If OJ can play point then thats cool, but if not then it wouldn’t make since to get him. We already have one of those (Foye) who is more of a two guard but they’re trying to make a pg. Unless they planned on making some kind of a trade if they got Mayo.

Jun.26 at 12:24 pm

Jukai says:
How would Mayo fit in with Randy Foye who plays exactly the same way?

Jun.26 at 12:24 pm

Jukai says:
Not to mention that Mayo is going to take away precious baskets from Antoine Walker. I’m not having that.

Jun.26 at 12:35 pm

Snowda says:
I have an equally important question. Will Mr. Cheez Doodle be doing the draft? And will “The Steven A. Smith Heckling Society of Gentlemen” be making a video of the draft again?

Jun.26 at 12:36 pm

DP says:
Ju, just trade Randy Foye, He hasn’t done sh*t in two years and Mayo is clearly greatly than Randy dog.

Jun.26 at 12:39 pm

Holy Baller says:
I wouldn’t take Mayo. He’s going to become the NBA’s version of Rickey Williams. Drugs and trouble and actually playing basketball in his spare time.

Jun.26 at 12:43 pm

Jukai says:
DP, ’sota was pretty keen on keeping Randy Foye, but if they do ship him, then I’m all for the Mayo deal..

Jun.26 at 12:49 pm

DP says:
They can kick Telfair’s a*s to the curb to if they please.

Jun.26 at 1:02 pm

Jukai says:
I didn’t mind Telfair too much this year. Jaric I hated, but that was mostly cause of his super model girlfriend!

Jun.26 at 1:14 pm

Alain Elie says:
Mayo

Jun.26 at 1:32 pm

BETCATS says:
Telfair seems to be doing decent now.

Jun.26 at 1:55 pm

iLL wiLL says:
If by decent, you mean crappy, yes, he is doing decent.

Jun.26 at 2:00 pm

Arthur Rimbaud Jr. says:
BROOK LOPEZ !!

Jun.26 at 3:08 pm

Captain America says:
Myles is right, it’s Mayo. What happens afterward, who knows but Mayo has the highest curb value after Beasley and Rose. If they keep the combo guard, they need to dump McCants (and his tats). I can see McCants teaming up with Buckets somewhere in NBA hell.

Jun.26 at 3:09 pm

Captain America says:
At the 31st pick (or earlier if a trade), the wolves will be finding a mate for Big Al. Someone with the demeanor of Mike Tyson who will take a bite or two.

Jun.26 at 4:39 pm

The Promise says:
I dont think you can go wrong with either, but I would take Love and have a nice 1-2 punch inside with Al Jefferson.

Jun.26 at 4:51 pm

B. Long says:
Word on the street is that Kevin Mchale is trading the pick to Boston for Sam Cassell.

Jun.26 at 6:33 pm

The Biz says:
Sam I am Can play center with his kick@ss post moves

Orange Juice Mayonnaise

Dacre says:
Brook Lopez runs up and down the court like Elden Campbell did, didnt kept his back straight and slight lent forward…(think Napoleon Dynamite for visuals…).

Jun.27 at 1:32 am

Kevin Love says:
Fire Kevin McHale! He has single handedly ruined Minnesota Basketball.
