The T-Wolves just traded their #16 pick to Memphis for their #25 and #28 picks. That means Minnesota is picking at:
4
23
25
28
They could just be stocking picks to trade, or maybe they really want to build through the draft. Either way, if Larry is going in the 20's as I think he will, Minnesota has 3 picks from 23-28 and Larry could easily end up going there.
On the other hand, Memphis did also show interest in Larry and had him scheduled for a workout which Larry's camp cancelled and Memphis media reported was due to Larry thinking he could go higher than 25/28 and had a promise from Milwaukee. It could be that Memphis is moving up to get him ahead of Chicago who reportedly likes him at 17 since they don't think he'll be available at 25 or 28. :shrug:
One thing is for sure...it looks like there is a lot of movement on the board. It's really crazy that Minnesota has 4 first-round picks to me, I gotta think they are using some of these picks as trade-bait for teams looking to move into the first-round like the Knicks, Mavericks, and Cavaliers.
