Min and Orl

Min get Fournier and 25th pick

Orl get 6th pick and Pekovic (exp)

Min do it as thibs is a play to win now coach he will be pushing for the playoffs with Lavine working back from injury adding Fournier gives them a starting sg who helps spread the floor and I'd expect his shooting percentages to increase with wiggins and towns drawing double teams. As their giving up a lottery pick I gave them the 25th pick as mocks have them taking Issac to develop into a stretch 4 at the end of this draft theirs a few guys floating like lydon, Swanigan and Leaf if he falls who could also fill that need.

Orl need to find their star so landing another top 10 pick gives them two chances at finding one taking pekovic expiring contract can be flipped later on and I think Vucevic will be moved as they seem to wanna play smaller and faster so their won't be a log jam at Center before people start commenting on that.

I was going dog your trade idea, than u think Issac will drop to 25th pick. So at that Point I just gave up.

He means that the Twolves are projected to pick Isaac at 6.

Shizzee, I think he was saying that most mocks had them taking Isaac at 6, and was looking at comps to Isaac like Lydon, Swanigan and Leaf at the 26.

Thanks for paying attention NBA16 and soxfan893.
Min are projected to go for Issac at 6 as they want to use him for stretch 4 potential in most mocks but in this trade they can get a stretch 4 around 25th pick as this is a loaded draft and the 3 ball is becoming more of the modern players arsenal so in this trade they add the floor spacing their lacking in Fournier and a potential stretch 4. Hope this helps clear it up for you shizzee.

Yeah I think that he was saying if Leaf drops not Isaac, cause lately in mocks Leaf has been raising. But I don't think that Fournier and the 25th is enough for the Timberwolves to trade the 6th pick for. And I also think that Pekovic is eligible for an injury void on his contract so they won't have to worry about him effecting their money.

If Thibs was truly a win-now coach he shouldn't have gone to Minnesota, he knew what he was getting himself into with all that young talent. I think Issac is perfect for Minnesota as he doesn't just project as a stretch 4 but with the defensive ability he flashed he has unicorn potential. Thibs is a defensive coach so I think he'll value Issac's upside on this end.

Peks contract isn't a issue for Minnesota as he'll likely go into medical retirement as he hasn't played in over a year. I think it would be foolish for them to deal Issac and his upside for Fournier and #25 pick where they'd be getting a "stretch 4" by definition but a very one dimensional player who'd be a liability on defensive end (Thibs is a defensive coach) . Fournier's is a good shooter but his stats are a bit inflated on the Magic and although he is young because he doesn't contribute much outside of shooting/ scoring I don't think his upside is that high.
