Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could keep lies from conquering the minds of the weak. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.

Afternoon talker: Should the Wolves try to trade Derrick Williams? You guys can't seem to decide
Posted by: Michael Rand under Wolves news Updated: June 27, 2012 - 3:51 PM
Our latest crowd-sourcing attempt on Twitter a couple days ago was to ask whether you would -- as a Wolves GM -- attempt to package Derrick Williams and the No. 18 pick to Charlotte for the No. 2 pick. The exact question is moot now, of course, because of the Chase Budinger trade. But the overall premise remains the same: Should the Wolves trade Williams, a player with great promise but who might be playing out of position in Minnesota, for a shooting guard (or a pick that will become a shooting guard) or does he have too much potential to jettison now? A few of the VERY mixed responses:
YES
Yes! Dwill = marcus fizer RT @RandBall: Would you trade Derrick Williams and the No. 18 pick for the No. 2? Guaranteed Bradley Beal.

@RandBall Yes. Been willing to deal D-Will for months. It would balance out the roster, too.

@RandBall In a heartbeat

NO
@RandBall No way in h-e-double hockey sticks. With full-time minutes, Williams will be a borderline All-Star by year three.

@RandBall No thank you...and politely hang up the phone.

What would you do?@RandBall what sense would it make trading last yrs #2 & a extra pick for this yrs #2? #stupid Dwill's better #TWolves fanch.at/terMTW
