NBA Draft Coverage
 
6:01
Adam Holt -  Welcome to live chat coverage of the 2009 NBA Draft. I'll provide some commentary and info on all the first round picks tonight, with a focus on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
6:04
Adam Holt -  The Star Trib's Jerry Zgoda says the deal to watch is for David Kahn to try and move up to the No. 3 spot in a trade with Oklahoma City.
6:08
Adam Holt -  If a move up is made, Kahn said that Kevin Love is staying put.
6:11
Adam Holt -  ESPN is comparing the Shaq-to-Cleveland and Vince Carter-to-Miami trades
6:13
Adam Holt -  "Oh, by the way, there's a draft tonight." Not as dumb a statement as it sounds, with those two trades, as well as a possible move of Amare Stoudemire to Golden State. Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson died today as well. Big day today for the media.

Adam Holt -  Curry must be bored. They just showed him messing around on his phone
6:21
Adam Holt -  Memphis reportedly wanted the Wolves' No. 5 and No. 6 picks in order to move up to No. 2. Understandably, Kahn balked at that offer.
6:23
Adam Holt -  My feeling is that the Wolves will move up - either with Memphis or Oklahoma City - to grab Thabeet or Evans. They have players and other picks to dangle as bait and I imagine it'd be hard for Kahn not to get a deal done if he wants to.
6:27
Adam Holt -  2:30 and counting

6:39
Adam Holt -  Griffin goes first. Now the excitement begins.
