I used the Timberwolves as an example of why I don't like the NBA Draft with a crazy trade scenario. It turns out they really did make a trade.
I'm just copying and pasting this from espn.com because it would take me an hour to correctly spell these names.
• Rockets get: Jonny Flynn, rights to Donatas Motiejunas (No. 20 overall pick); Chandler Parsons (reacquisition via the No. 38 overall pick)
• Timberwolves receive: Brad Miller; rights to Nikola Mirotic (No. 23 overall pick), 2013 first-round pick; rights to Norris Cole (No. 28 overall pick)
• Bulls receive: Rights to Nikola Mirotic (from Minnesota)
Are you confused? You should be!
Why get excited about your favorite college player getting drafted by your favorite team. I'm sure many were excited that Marshon Brooks, from Providence was selected by their hometown team, the Boston Celtics. All of that celebration and happiness was soon dashed when he was traded to the Nets.
