Another Rumor: Ammo & 9 for TWolves' 3

Wow. If we got the three, do we go Mayo? What are the chances of Miami actually taking Mayo 2nd? I think none. Walking away from this draft with Beasley and only losing Ammo would be sick.

Who do you think our target is though if Beasley and Rose (almost certainly) are gone?

Mayo and Love?

BTW... this makes sense because Minnesota could take Lopez at 9 (who they really need) while gaining Ammo, a perimeter scorer to pair with those two.

that's who I take, mayo. I just think this trade is about as likely as Orlando trading us D.Howard for our 2nd round pick.

This HAS to be too good to be true. But just for fun...if it did happen; its probably a simple trade with Miami to get to #2 and Beasley. Let the Heat have Mayo.

Like I said in the other thread:

IF this trade went down (Ammo and the #9 for the #3), and it's a huge "if" because I doubt the Wolves would go with it, I would be forced to take back everything I have ever said about drafting Ammo and it setting us back 3+ years.

If he could move us into the top three this year and land us Mayo or Beasley then he would have done a whole lot for this franchise.

I would poop, toot, cry and fall over all at once if we traded Ammo and the #9 for Beasley, Rose or Mayo

100% agree. If the Wolves didn't get a shit load of offers better than Ammo and the #9 for the #3 then I would be amazed.

Maybe we could add more, like a 2009 pick?

I think it would take something far more significant, like Crash and #9 for #3. Problem is, that if we go Mayo, then we have no PF from this Draft. We'd be banking on May and Jermareo, and that doesn't make me feel good. If it was Beasley at #3, then we'd likely have to move up Carroll to the starting SG with J-Rich as SF, or J-Rich as SG and Dudley as SF. Trading Crash and #9 for #3 makes more sense for us if #3 is Beasley.

Slam, I saw where you went over to RGM to talk with the MINN fans about it. They definitely dont take to the trade too good with Ammo and #9. Wonder why?

man there is no way minny is that dumb....we trade ammo who is pretty much a bum and get someone like mayo who could be the best player in the draft....this is a robbery...man i would laugh at this trade all the way to the playoffs

I think you're VASTLY overrating the value the #3 pick. Mayo may be a great scorer, but he's had question marks all season. If Minnesota wants Lopez, they have to stay in the top 10-12 to get him. So, I'm not sure they can do a whole lot better than this trade and still get their guy.

From Minnesota's perspective, they'd get their coveted center, pay him a chunk of change less money, and get a potential scorer in Morrison. I think it's actually a pretty good deal for them.

Also, remember that picks have no value until after they are drafted. So Minnesota can't just trade the pick for a player unless other TWolves are going out.

Basically, this trade is not so far fetched, though I would be surprised if it happened also.

I'd want Beasley... Mayo doesn't appear to give us much more than what we currently have with Crash. Beasley is a quicker impact player for us IMO. If we do this to get Mayo we also definitely have to trade Crash as well to get a quality post player.

I just got in and saw this rumor...I'm pretty shocked. Here I sit with this big shit eating grin on my face while knowing there's no way in hell this could ever happen.

But for just one little moment I'm going to ignore that and imagine it's true.

I don't think there's a chance in hell this trade would ever happen, but IF it did then WOW! I'd pray to God that Chicago took Rose and Miami took Mayo so we'd get Beasley.
