標題[外電] Wolves 18 pick to Houston for Budinger

The Timberwolves today traded the No. 18 pick in Thursday's draft to Houston
for swingman Chase Budinger and prospect Lior Eliyahu, a source has confirmed.
The deal reunites Budinger, a former second-round pick who can play
both small forward and shooting guard, with Wolves coach Rick Adelman,
who coached him at Houston.
"I'm very excited," Budinger said from his home in San Diego this morning.
"Rick Adelman was a great, great coach for me. I have much respect for him.
I love his system. I feel like it fit me very well. I'm excited
to get up there and see all the coaches."
It also would appear to take the Wolves out of most of the fun
for draft night,unless, of course, his deal is a precursor to another.
Budinger, you might remember, scored a career-high 35 points
against the Wolves in the 2010-11 season finale at Target Center.
Might there be more 35-point nights there for him now?
"Let's hope so," he said. "I do always play well in that gym.
That's another good thing: I love playing in that gym."
When asked for his memories of that game, he said,
"Just how it felt everything I shot, every time I went to the basket,
I couldn't do any wrong."
The Wolves have until Saturday to pick up a team option on Budinger's
contract that will pay him $942,000 this coming season.
He'll be an unrestricted free agent next summer.
"I hope so," Budinger said when asked if he can see a California kid
staying long term in Minnesota. "I've just got to go buy more warm coats."
The trade now gives the Rockets -- and a guy named Kevin McHale --
the 14th, 16th and 18th picks Thursday and allows them to package
those picks for a higher pick in the draft, which presumably they could use
to then deal to Orlando in a package for superstar Dwight Howard.
The Houston Chronicle first reported the trade.
