Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Jonathan Givony reports on Twitter that the surprise Qatar player that the Timberwolves were after (using Portland's 57th pick) may have been lying about his age:

"Uh-oh, looks like our guy T'Wolves draft pick Tanguy Ngombo has been busted for lying about his age: http://bit.ly/kfxzqp (hat-tip @sJacas )"
http://twitter.com/#!/DraftExpress/status/84330036089466881

He says this is common practice in Qatar to nationalize players. The fact that Ngombo is 27 may mean that his is ineligible to be drafted:

"NBA should invalidate it. Not that it matters, but he was ineligible to be drafted. RT @kpelton: So what happens to the Tanguy Ngombo pick?"
http://twitter.com/#!/DraftExpress/status/84334539895357440

All of this would be really funny if it were simply another KAAAAAHHHNNNN moment, but this time Portland is involved because the Blazers are supposed to trade the pick to Minnesota.

I have no idea what happens to the trade if the pick is invalidated.

I believe Liggins was drafted by the Magic

Wouldn’t mind taking a chance on Lighty though, let him and Diebler compete for being our 3 point threat. Or just the biggest possible body we can draft!

This shouldn't be Portland's problem

Dallas made the pick. Minny wanted the pick.

Kahn better do the right thing and just send the agreed upon compensation to Portland, then eat it for trying to pick an ineligible player.

That makes sense to me

At least if you want to be a good trading partner, that’s what you do.

If you’re still bristling over the idea that Portland sold you a damaged Webster, maybe you’re difficult about it.

But I think you’re right. That’s what should happen. It will be interesting to watch what does happen.

He is still mad about martell's back injury. no way he does the "right" thing here.

He should be mad at his own training/medical staff

that had every opportunity to check out Mary before the trade.

does that mean we are getting "that pg from NOLA?"

his 3 letter moniker needs to go in the way of Princes name-as in the PG formerly known as *! or just “that PG from NOLA!”
