Giving minny the 5-6 18th and 28th picks? are you F'ing kidding me

Except that this is widely regarded as one of the weakest drafts in recent history. Behind Griffin there isn't a single guy that is solid bet to be an NBA All Star. There are a lot of projects and a lot of guys that will be solid role players but there are very few guys that you can build a franchise around.
I think it is a trade that makes sense for both sides. Washington is in the weak East and got guys that assure they will be a playoff team next year. Minnesota is in the much tougher west and had no chance of making the playoffs in the next couple years with those guys so need to luck into some draft picks that pan out and make them contenders again.
