Wolves Updates 6/17 Part 2 E-mail

From Chad Ford/ESPN:
Rubio, however, may not be there at No. 4. While it seems clearer that neither the Grizzlies nor the Thunder will select Rubio for themselves, the Minnesota Timberwolves are making a strong play to move up in the draft to get Rubio, according to sources. The Wolves have tried to do it by packaging their three first-round picks (Nos. 6, 18 and 28).

There's also been talk about Minnesota trading Kevin Love to Memphis for the No. 2 pick, a rumor that one source insisted was far-fetched. If that happens, it will have to be a deal that's consummated no earlier than June 28, because the Wolves have to wait a full calendar year to trade Love back to the Grizzlies (Love was traded to Minnesota for O.J. Mayo on the night of the draft last year).

If they don't get the No. 2 pick, sources say the Wolves will their No. 6 pick to select either Stephen Curry and Tyreke Evans. Evans seems like the best fit at first glance, but there seems to be a higher comfort level with Curry. We've had both players going to Minnesota in recent mock drafts. Hopefully by the last one we get it right.



Brian in Chaska MN:
Any coaching candidates for the Wolves. Was leeting McHale go the right move
Steve Kyler:
Nothing yet, but I have heard David Kahn started talking to coaches last week... have not gotten names... I'd offer up Mike Moreau - he'd do a better job than anyone the Wolves are gonna snare this late in the game.




So, indeed: major credit and thanks to Brewster for carving some time out of his schedule this morning to accept his prize of one RandBall T-shirt from his victory in the RandBall Twitter Challenge and to answer a few questions. Things learned:

Brewster actually has ties to Wolves basketball player Brian Cardinal, his competitor in the race to 1,500 followers in the RandBall Twitter Challenge. We had no idea this was the case when we invented the challenge. Small world. “This is the deal,” Brewster said. “Rod Cardinal, Brian’s father, is an extremely close friend of mine. He was a trainer when I was a (football) player at the University of Illinois. When I knew it was Brian and the Cardinal family, I knew it was a great opportunity to have some fun.”
