June 24, 2008 Wolves general manager Kevin McHale isn't tipping his hand heading into Thursday night. When asked if he had a gut feeling about if the Wolves would keep or trade the No. 3 pick, McHale tells the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, "I've got one of those. I'm not going to share it with you... Up until now, there have been a lot of people throwing some stuff out there. It'll get more serious today and tomorrow. On Thursday, you'll get a good offer."
Our View:Chances are pretty good the Wolves will trade down, as some team in the No. 4-10 range will begin to get itchy about their favorite guy not falling to their spot. We have the Wolves targeting O.J. Mayo at No. 3, but they aren't short on needs and could still get a very good player after moving down a few spots.
June 14, 2008 Next Monday and Tuesday, the Wolves will entertain a bunch of draft prospects. The list includes UCLA forward Kevin Love, Texas A&M big man DeAndre Jordan, and French forward Nicolas Batum, Ohio State center Kosta Koufos, and Nevada forward JaVale McGee, according to NBA.com.
Our View:Most of the guys on this list are expected to be available later in the first round or in the second round, with the exceptions of Love and Jordan. The Wolves hold the No. 3 pick, and we'd be surprised if it's one of the guys on this list.
April 15, 2008 Al Jefferson led Minnesota with 30 points as the Wolves get closer to closing out a disappointing season.
Our View:Jefferson wasn't efficient (12-for-26) from the floor but added nine rebounds and a helper in the loss.
