幾則消息，僅節錄重要部分。 http://tinyurl.com/2u76svx The Timberwolves went into Tuesday night's draft lottery with the second-best chance to land the No. 1 overall pick. They ended up tumbling down to No. 4, the latest in a long line of hard luck in the NBA's annual drawing. But team president David Kahn made it clear that the Wolves, who own pick Nos. 4, 16 and 23 in the first round, will be looking to move. "I'd say the likelihood is that we do do something before the night of (June) 24th," Kahn said. "I'd be very surprised if we are at 4, 16 and 23 on the night of the draft." In 13 tries, the Timberwolves have never improved their position in the lottery. They have fallen seven times and picked where they were slotted on six occasions. Kahn很明白的指出，球隊在選秀會前夕會有行動。如果選秀日當天的順位還是留在4、 16、23，他會很驚訝。 灰狼過去13次參加抽樂透，7次順位下滑，6次留在原處，還未曾順位上升。 http://www.twincities.com/timberwolves/ci_15112696 "I know the first reaction is one of despair and consolation," Kahn said. "It's just not that kind of night for me and the organization. I tried to say before the lottery that we have enough arsenal and maneuverability to move around in the draft with the other picks we have, and the assets we have. Nothing tonight makes me feel our plans have been greatly disturbed. It's too early for that." Kahn表示，絕望的反應難免，今晚不是屬於他與球團的日子。不過，抽樂透之前他就 提過，球隊握有足夠的籌碼，能進行想要的操作。他不認為這個抽籤結果會造成球隊 在未來計畫上的影響。現在講那些還言之過早。 Kahn appears to be making it known that he's willing to deal to make improvements. The Wolves have two other first-round picks as a result of trades — No. 16 and No. 23. The value of those picks, however, depends on how NBA executives rate the depth of this year's draft. "The more you move down (in the draft), the more you can look for a specific need," Kahn said. "We have needs everywhere, especially for wing players." Kahn有提到特別需要補強鋒線球員這一環節。 --
