From the StarTribune newspaper:
Timberwolves acquire Ellis and Richardson in a Multi-team blockbuster trade
"
This was definitely an out of nowhere trade for all of us. Nobody had seen this coming. The Timberwolves have just acquired star guard Monta Ellis and swingman Jason Richardson from the Bucks and 76ers respectively. They traded Andrei Kirilenko and their 2012 first round pick to the Bucks, and Brandon Roy and their 2013 first round pick to the 76ers. It seems as if they want to win now. And with this team, they have a much better chance at making a run at the playoffs because of their combo of Love and Ellis.
We interviewed the GM of the Wolves and asked him why he had done this trade. He said this when we were able to catch him on the press conference: "I have been a huge fan of Monta Ellis and I also liked Jason Richardson's 3 point shot to help us win some games on the offensive side. Both of these guys will definitely help us on offense. They make us a threat to become an even more high-tempo team now that we have Rubio and Ellis working the backcourt. With Rubio's passing skills and Ellis's scoring abilities, we can pusht the break every chance we can. And with the addition of Richardson, he can put pressure on defenses to guard the three. I like what we have right now and we'll see how this team plays on."
What do you guys think of this trade and team now? Do you think they can win more games now that they have those two? Let me know on the comments/posts below!

Yeah those 1st round picks may hurt, but that will just put more pressure on the team to make sure those picks aren't gonna be lottery-worthy. Kinda being like the Lakers where as long as the pick isn't too high, I'd rather get players that I KNOW will help me out and are proven already. But thanks for the comments guys!
