Now it sounds like the Knicks are aiming for Minnesota’s other pick at No. 18. Could be a cash deal or maybe it costs the Renaldo Balkman trade exception, which expires in July. Regardless, these are believed to be a few of many options Donnie Walsh and his staff are trying to set up going into draft night.<\/em><\/div>\n That way, the Wolves could take 7-foot-3 center Hasheem Thabeet of Connecticut or flashy point guard Ricky Rubio of Spain.<\/em><\/p>\n Kahn, who also has the Nos. 6, 18 and 28 overall picks, wants both players.
