The Minnesota Timberwolves were awfully busy on draft night. So busy, in fact, that it took the NBA until Friday afternoon to approve all the wheeling and dealing that was done by president of basketball operations David Kahn.

The deals that were officially announced:

-The Wolves traded point guard Jonny Flynn, a future second-round pick and the 20th pick - Donatas Motiejunas - to Houston for center Brad Miller, the draft rights to No. 23 pick Nikola Mirotic and No. 38 Chandler Parsons and a future first-round pick.

-Traded Mirotic to the Chicago Bulls for the draft rights to No. 28 Norris Cole and No. 43 Malcolm Lee and cash.

-Traded Cole to the Miami Heat for No. 31 Bojan Bogdanovic, a future second-round pick and cash.

-Traded Bogdanovic to New Jersey for a future second-round pick and cash.

-Traded Parsons back to Houston for cash.

The Timberwolves also traded with Portland for the 57th pick, Tanguy Ngombo of Qatar, but said the deal was still pending and contingent upon a trade the Trail Blazers made earlier in the draft.

All in all, it was a dizzying night for the Wolves after taking Arizona forward Derrick Williams with the No. 2 pick.
