Damn the demand for Ben Howland's players is incredible. Mbah a Moute was like the 5th best player on that Final Four squad and now T-Wolves are giving up a #2 pick for him. I hope he does well in Minnesota.

lol and six of those players you just named play for Clippers and T-Wolves (T-Wolves would've had 4 Ben Howland proteges if they didn't give away Malcolm Lee)

Williams was a bad pick up for the 'Wolves the year he was taken, because he was behind K.Love. The 'Wolves should have traded his rights that year and dropped in the draft, because he was going #2 no matter who was in that position. They did try to make him a #3, but that never worked. Now the 'Wolves do get a defense presents on the perimeter which they sourly needed and the Kings get a player with lots of pure athletic talent who has yet to translate that to the NBA game. A good trade for both and I think it fits were both franchises are. The 'Wolves are looking to make a playoff run this year and they'll need that defender to go against Durant and Kobe, and the Kings get a player they can develop and help build for the future.
