The T wolves would get the 4th pick, and Detroits 8th. And Cleveland would get our second pick

I actually think it might be a good move. Neither of the supposed top two picks are projected as superstars in the league. Why not drop down and get a few picks in the first round and get a few guys. I think Kahn is sold on Rubio coming to play for the wolves. I even heard that if they pull this trade off, they might even get rid of the 8th pick to get even more picks. It sure can't make them any worse then they were last year!

Supposedly 4-6 teams are in talks with the TWolves. I have no problem trading it, as long as the deal is good!!!! Good Vet could go a long way with this team.

I am pretty sure whatever they do it will end up being the worst thing they could have done.

Draft BPA, Williams or Irving, whoever Cavs didn't take at #1, if draft Williams at #2, trade him for BIYOMBO plus veteran/assets/2012 pick.

That's why Taylor should ask Kahn at the last minute what he plans to do, override him and do the opposite.

That would be one of dumbest trades in wolves history, meaning it will probably happen.

i saw a report last night that the deal is in place with the lakers, but it needs to be approved by the twolves owner. i haven't seen any other rumors on it though so take it for what it's worth.

It was a Twitter post from an unreliable source. Not saying it isnt true, but I think the Timberwolves owner (Taylor) would be involved with the process.

Well one thing is for sure, the media is sure having a good time talking about what MN is going to do with the #2 pick. I think they have MN linked to trading the #2 pick with Beasely to every team. One thing for sure, this #2 pick will most certainly help the Wolves in the future. Whether we trade it, for a proven vet, or if we keep the pick, and get Williams/Irving. I would be just as happy to settle with the pick, as long as they take on of those 2, and not pick someone else.

One of the rumors floating is the #2 pick and Beasely for Andrew Bynum, I would love to have Bynum on the Wolves, but I just dont think if we give up Beasely, we will give up the #2 pick as well, nor do I think the Lakers would want both. If this deal was to go down, I think it would have to be a multiple player, and 3 team trade.

Many exciting rumors flying around, cant wait to find out what they are actually going to come up with.

When Bynum is healthy, he is one of the best centers in the NBA. Problem is, he always seems to have something ailing him, and he has an attitude. But thats not always a bad thing.

Injury prone, Bynum cannot stay healthy at all. No to Bynum. I heard Lakers offered Odom straight up for #2, ridiculous; Lakers are saying Gasol and Bynum are untouchable. With Lorenzo Romar as a candidate for the coaching job, I would not mind us grabbing Williams at 2. I read in a wolves' site that Romar runs a lot of G, G, F, F, F and G, G, G, F, F lineups. I would not mind seeing this...

The wolves turned down a deal for Odom for the #2 pick, then the lakers turned down the #2 pick for either Bynum or Gasol. And Rambis is being fired smile

I would take Bynum for the #2 if we could get it. Yes he is injury prone, but he's 7'2", plays defense and would dominate most centers if he was the focal point of an offense. Plus, he's only 23 compared to Gasol and Odom who are both over 30.

I would also accept that rumored deal with Milwaukee where we get Bogut and their #13 pick or whatever it was. Not a lot of true centers in the league. The Wolves need someone to help defend the rim to make up for their defensive shortcomings at other positions.

Well the Wolves took D Williams, I have no problem with that. Even if they keep him. We have a great young core, I just hope we can lure a center here with free agency.

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!

      St Cloud Fishing Reports

      By Rick G · Posted

      Been out couple times this last week. Between the rain and wind there really was only one day this past week where it was actually warm out fishing.  Water temps are low mid 50s yet, not much change from last week.  Fish are still holding out off the first break on some area lakes and right up in the boat channels and back bays of others.   Been keeping it pretty simple as far as tackle used. Having the best luck with the lil hustler tubes under a small float or throwing the Bobby Garland baby shads with a 1/32 jig head.  The Bobby's have definitely been my big fish catcher this spring.

      The water looks low but appears to be on the rise. We will be there  the week after opener. I have been going since 1981 and enjoying the experience. We love the variety of fish we catch and release each year. Ice went out a bit earlier than in years past. Water may be warmer and plan to target some crappies. We fish predominately in Sand Point as we camp. Good luck all and tight lines. We may consider the hike to Lake Lucille which we did 2 years ago.

      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year
