To clear up the Laker-Minnesota trade talk once and for all: the Lakers asked what it would take to get the second pick. The Wolves said Pau Gasol. The Lakers said no. The Lakers countered with Lamar Odom. The Wolves said no. End of discussions. Laker-Minnesota的交易rumor終於明朗化：湖人隊詢問他們要如何才能得到2號籤， 灰狼隊回答要丟出Pau Gasol才行，湖人則否決這項提議，接著湖人隊轉而提出 以Lamar Odom為替代方案，灰狼隊明確的表示不接受這項提議，這項討論嘎然而止。 http://www.twincities.com/timberwolves/ci_18346130?nclick_check=1 Shooter Now: Wolves' Johnson 'happy' with choice of Derrick Williams WES非常高興選了個鋒線球員....................................。 Wes Johnson, who could get minutes at shooting guard as well as small forward after the Timberwolves made Derrick Williams their top pick in Thursday's NBA draft, said he's pleased with the choice. 再灰狼隊用NO.2選擇D.W.後，WES還是能在SG獲得時間外在SF也能獲得一些時間， WES表示他對這個選擇感到非常愉快。 "I'm happy because I work out with him and have grown a friendship and know him," Johnson said. WES非常快樂與他一起共度試訓的那段時光，這也讓WES更了解他是什麼樣的人也 更增進了他們之間的感情。 The 6-foot-7 Johnson has been working out with the 6-8 Williams, a small forward, in Los Angeles. 6'7"的WES與6'8"的D.W.一起在洛杉磯共築試訓的時光。 "He works real hard, pays attention to everything on the court, asks questions - 'Why are we doing this, should I be doing this?' " Johnson said. WES：「他在試訓的時候對任何測試都非常盡力與注意，不斷詢問著我們為什麼 要做這些動作，也非常懇切想明暸該怎麼去把它做到最好。」 Johnson said Williams, who plays against other NBA players in the workouts, does well against them. WES：「D.W.在試訓對抗其他NBA球員時表現的非常良好。」 "His whole mindset is that he doesn't back down from anybody," Johnson said of the 249-pounder. "His fearlessness about going against anybody will help us." WES：「他的觀念就是決不甘落於人後，決不因阻礙而放棄，決不畏懼任何對手給 的難題，這一點將會讓灰狼隊實力大幅向上攀升。」 Johnson said Williams' basketball IQ is "pretty high," and added he believes there will be enough minutes for Williams, Kevin Love and Michael Beasley next season. WES：「D.W.的IQ非常之高」，WES也相信在下一季D.Williams、K.Love與M.Beasley都 能獲得足夠的上場時間(A.Randolph沒你的份XD)。 "I think they can slide him in and figure it out; that's what (coaches) are there for," he said. "He's shown me a lot of versatility." WES認為任何人都會深陷在他的能力當中並理解到他是怎樣的球員，這也就是教練團們 都在那觀察他的理由。 WES：「他也在我眼前展現出他的多項能力值。」 Johnson and Williams have the same agent - Rob Polinka - and that's how they ended up working out together in Los Angeles. WES與D.W.都是僱用同一個經紀人-Rob Polinka，這就是他們如何在一起試訓的原因了。 "It's been pretty cool," Johnson said. WES：「"這整個就是非常酷"」。 --
