Not to beat a dead horse, but did the Timberwolves pass up a deal from the Knicks for Wilson Chandler?

The T-Wolves reportedly turned down an offer from the Knicks which would have netted them Wilson Chandler and the 8th overall pick for the #5 pick. The Knicks would have grabbed Ricky Rubio, and the Timberwolves could have grabbed Stephen Curry, and then still had the chance to get Jonny Flynn at #8, since the Warriors were not interested in Flynn at all.

Minnesota's starting lineup, if they had made that trade would have looked like this:
C: Al Jefferson
PF: Kevin Love
SF: Wilson Chandler
SG: Stephen Curry
PG: Jonny Flynn

Not too shabby, right? And the ceiling would be ridiculously high, as well.

So... why did they not do this?

** NEWS FLASH **

In an un-announced move, the Minnesota Timberwolves hired a consultant to assist them with their draft strategy and execution. This consultant came with an extensive playing & 'general managing' background. Until now, the consultant's name was kept secret, but sources have now confirmed that it was Matt Millen who assisted the T-Wolves.

This.................wouldn't surprise me !!! lol
