In his Mock Draft, Version 3.0, Chad Ford/ESPN has the Wolves taking O.J. Mayo with the 3rd pick.
This is the most difficult team to peg right now. I made a number of
attempts to get something out of the Wolves in Orlando, and frankly, I
didn’t get much. There’s a list of guys they like but little indication
which way they’ll lean.

The Wolves have a need at center, and Brook Lopez would be a good fit.
Size sells in the draft and Lopez is the only big man who looks like
he’s worth a pick this high. However, he doesn’t have the upside of
many of the other players in this draft, and some scouts believe he’s
going to be a bust.

That could lead the Wolves to roll the dice on a more talented player, such as O.J. Mayo or Danilo Gallinari.

Bill Reynolds/Providence Journal on Ryan Gomes:
One minute you’re
teammates with Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins, the
next you are sitting in the Garden in Game Five watching them play
against the Pistons, a restricted free agent, your NBA career as up in
the air as a deep 3-pointer.

Is it any wonder Gomes watches these playoffs through a swirl of emotion?
“One side of me
is very happy for them,” he said. “I’m happy for the organization, the
legends. I know what it means to everybody.”

The other side?
