Minnesota Timberwolves Acquire Anthony Randolph & Eddy Curry

The Minnesota Timberwolves traded Corey Brewer and Kosta Koufus away for Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry for the New York Knicks earlier this week. Randolph has been a player that David Kahn has coveted for awhile now as it has been well-documented. He is long and athletic, which Kahn admires. He has potential, yet that is exactly what it is right now, potential. Randolph needs to turn his potential into talent, proving he can be a solid player in this league.

Brewer was traded to the New York Knicks while Koufus went to the Denver Nuggets in the 3-team trade. Oh, and if you didn't hear, Carmelo Anthony was involved in the trade to the Knicks. Randolph averaged 11 points a season ago for the Golden State Warriors, who drafted him out of LSU. He is still young, at age 21. Let's see if Randolph can live up to his potential. The team is expected to payout Eddy Curry's contract.

Minnesota Timberwolves Rumored in 3 Team Trade

I was working out yesterday in the gym when across ESPN came a headline "Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and New York Knicks rumored in 3 team trade." I figured right away it was probably something to do with Carmelo Anthony, which it was. The rumor has it that Minnesota would depart with Corey Brewer and a 1st Round Pick and receive Eddy Curry and Anthony Randolph from the New York Knicks. Brewer and the pick would go to Denver. My initial reaction: I'm sure we would buy out Curry, but giving up a 1st and Brewer for Randolph seems a little much. I know Randolph is talented but can he really make a significant impact for us? For some reason I see a lot of Martell Webster in his game. I would be suprised if this deal follows through.
