Is Shelden worth more than #11 in this trade??

[DavidSomerset]

I'm surprised Ric Bucher said that Shelden might need to be substituted for the #11 for the deal to get done...Personally, I would LOVE that because then we could maybe luck out and take either Noah or Hawes.

We would need a back-up PF/C with 11.

Heck, or maybe we could talk the Sonics into Ridnour and Wilcox for 11...That would be a pretty good trade, IMO.

If this is true, then I think this validates the talk that Minnesota was set to take Shelden Williams if the Hawks had passed on him or traded down.

I like this more because then we would have #11 to get a starting pg like acie law without having to give up a versatile 6th man in chillz.

Solo and Blo Wright aren't the best backups, but they could get it done.

At 7 we still have a legit shot at getting Conley. 7 would be good value for Shelden considering his draft position last year and the stats that he put up when healthy.

I would NOT substitute Shelden for the #11 though.
