    You just know Morey has a thought in his head: "If _______ drops to the #___ spot, I'm pulling the trigger on a trade for that pick."

    I wonder who that player is, the one that DM is praying will slip 5 or 6 spots down, making him available for a reasonable price.

    Same, most we can hope for is a middle of the draft pick.

    Rubio, Butler, Wiggins, Towns, Dieng would've been a nice starting 5...

    If I'm Minny I call them right back after taking Dunn.

    Zach is a nice prospect but if you can get Dunn (and you can) and add Butler...I mean what else are you asking for? Is Zach worth a top 5 prospect AND a top 3 SG in the NBA? No way in hell.

    Zach Lavine being a deal breaker in a Jimmy Butler trade is hilarious. Thibs the GM might be dumb.
