Possibilities
Dave2138's point is well taken. It is not likely that we are going to keep both Lee and Nate. But let us not lose one or the other without something in return. With a sign and trade after the draft, we can also take back a one year bad contract, such as Cardinal's, without damage to the 2010 plan. Minnesota has several picks this year and is a good target for a potential deal. Mullens will likely be availabe at 18.
Mullens was a disappointment in his first year in college, but he apparently has some promise. I do not believe, however, that we should give up an 8 pick for him and whatever else we are likely to get simply for moving further out.
I like that idea too Anu with BJ Mullens.
Maybe this can work out: Draft Stephen Curry/Jrue Holiday at #8. Have Minnesota draft BJ Mullens at #18. Whenever it is legal to do so, sign and trade Nate Robinson for draft rights to Mullens and Brian Cardinal.
