Actual McHale Redo

Mike Miller - 1 yr, 9.75 million

Randy Foye - 1 yr, 3.5 million then restricted FA

for

Etan Thomas - 1 yr, 7.3 million

Darius Songalia - 1 yr, 4.5 million then PO for 4.8 million

Oleksiy Pecherov - 1 yr, 1.5 million then TO for 2.3 million

#5

Plusses

Wizards

• Get a shooter
• Get a backup guard
• Dump money and a bad contract
• Could potentially get under luxury tax with another move

Timberwolves

• Get another draft pick
• Don't have to make a decision about Foye
• Really leaving McHale's decisions behind them

Minuses

Wizards

• ???

Timberwolves

• Less 2010 cap room
• Have to hit on #5 pick - tough to evaluate until draft is over

This trade definitely changes what the Timberwolves do in the draft. If everything went their way (really unlikely) the draft goes Thabeet at 5, Harden at 6, Lawson at 18 and Budinger/Ellington/Green at 28. The Timberwolves then end up

• Ty Lawson/Sebastian Telfair/Bobby Brown
• James Harden/Rodney Carney(TO)
• Ryan Gomes/Corey Brewer/(Budinger/Ellington/Green)
• Al Jefferson/Kevin Love/Mark Madsen/Brian Cardinal/Craig Smith/Shelden Williams(TO)/Darius Songalia
• Hasheem Thabeet/Etan Thomas/Oleksiy Pecherov

Or Rubio at 5, Harden at 6, BJ Mullens at 18 and Budinger/Ellington/Green at 28. The Timberwolves then end up

• Ricky Rubio/Sebastian Telfair/Bobby Brown
• James Harden/Rodney Carney(TO)
• Ryan Gomes/Corey Brewer/(Budinger/Ellington/Green)
• Al Jefferson/Kevin Love/Mark Madsen/Brian Cardinal/Craig Smith/Shelden Williams(TO)/Darius Songalia
• BJ Mullens/Etan Thomas/Oleksiy Pecherov
