Clint Mathis..... geez.... was this draft day or high school fan appreciation day?

Also Dempsey looks more like Jim from the Office than himself.

Apparently, that's Chad Marshall with Clint and Ned.

Still an awesome picture.

So 4 teams made offers and Minnesota traded away their #1 to one of them? Well today just got interesting.

I think the story is that MN is playing them off each other and trying to get max value by waiting.

Saunders + Mix (if he agrees) + GAM for the Number 1 pick.

And it would be more to unload their salary than to draft #1....
Doesn't this take us back to the no trade clause?

That would be Mana From Heaven if it happened. Well we can all dream, can't we...

Hence the "if he agrees" parenthetical, presumably.

Which is why I said, "if he agrees." I'm sure that in the contract is says the player has final say on all trades, not that it's a no trade clause.
