Finally it seems the Twolves made a good deal. Mike Miller is good but not great, and the Wizards have a team that doesnt need a top rookie on it

Great move by the Wizards.
Wizards, with the new coaching staff, should be at the top. (Go Jamison!)

Also decent move the Wolves. I heard they are after Rubio. They might be trying to trade the #5 for the #2. This could get interesting.

great move for Washington I believe.....Foye is going to be a superstar...

i won't lie, i have always been a big Foye fan, and i hope he can thrive with the Wizards.

interesting trade to say the least if this is official.. dont know why they didnt go after the #2 pick?

**Reggie_Miller** · 06-23-2009, 08:20 PM

it most likely will be traded along with a player (should most likely be a player, maybe 2 i guess) to get the #2 pick from either the grizzlies or whoever holds the #2 pick at the time the wolves would trade up, if they decide to. The rumor now is that the Wolves are getting very interested in trying to draft Ricky Rubio, and that's why they're trying to move up. They probably went at trading for the #5 to have a better chance at obtaining the #2 pick in a future trade.
