It's the Wiggins thing that ya'll might hate. As far as MIN, their getting punked for their future picks. GS don't want HOU or Brooklyn picks, they want more Minny picks. That said this deal so f***ing good for MIN, I don't blame them for taking up the butt for this one. They might have two 1sts for this draft and up to 30 million. They are looking like a trade force for the summer. We should keep our Brooklyn pick if we have to take Wiggins. Minny should just walk away from GSW - DLo isn't worth that. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I understand this, its Len, Parker, Parsons for Capella, Wiggins? + whatever other moving pieces per team. Am I getting this right? Parsons ain't in the deal. Turner and a shitload of filler from our end. Also, this trade has to be broken down so that ATL-MIN-HOU can work first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just saying I think the guy can maybe change once he humbles himself that he isn’t the guy but I’m not saying we should get him. trust me I can’t stand inefficient players but maybe a change of scenery would be great for this kid. I will say, just like I did with Evan Turner, that I don't know the guy personally and maybe he can turn his approach to the game completely around. However, he will need to check his ego and do things he refused to do in Minnesota to actually help this team and there is nothing he could ever do to get earn his pay. Just like with Turner, I'll hope for the best if we get him but Turner was every bit as bad as I predicted on the floor and was even worse than I predicted in the lockerroom. I have a seriously hard time seeing Wiggins getting paid his $30M/per and being content playing a much more limited role. I'd bet heavily on him being unhappy unless he can keep shooting without a conscious and the risk/reward just isn't there. Brooklyn, Len and Parker for Capela is fair by itself. Add in taking on Wiggins without getting something extremely valuable and that is not a fair deal. And I don't think Minnesota's unprotected 1st is on the table or valuable enough to justify this. We are already in line to get a lottery pick from this draft. We don't need a second so much that we block ourselves from being able to recruit FAs in 2021. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted February 4, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Wiggins is having his best year in the NBA but I wouldn't take him on a max contract. Taking him on would kill our cap space and jeopardize our wing development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBASupes Posted February 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 @thecampster, the Hawks are working on a long term small deal with Goodwin as well. That will also impact this trade. It's going to be like three trades in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecampster Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 I need the pieces so I can see how this works with the cap? Turner and Teague are the only other pieces over 7 million we have to give. If Hunter, Reddish or Huerter are included....I'm befuddled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough call. And his best year is the 10th best player on a really bad Minnesota team according to WS/48. he's definitely not the 10th best player on the Twolves. These advanced stats aren't telling his story. The Wolves had KAT out a month plus, they traded Teague and like us don't really have much of a NBA roster at this point. Wiggins is forced to shoot more than he probably should. The guy will never live up to that deal. This is kinda like the Joe Johnson situation. Ignoring that Wiggins has improved his year and is playing his best ball because of that albatross contract is not really fair to his play on the court. That being said DUE to his contract no way I would want him on the Hawks. The only Twolf I want here is KAT. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree lol I’m definitely not trying to make it seem like Wiggins is ok ....I just think thats how these things work out sometimes when trying to acquire a player you really want but hey maybe Schlenk need to just walk away if capela HAS to bring along Wiggins too. theres other options...go back to okc even . I just think capela is the type of big man you want by JC and is a bit of a better fit over Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been hurt. He's ok. A good shooter off the bench for the wing. Not remotely worth taking on Wiggins deal just FYI. I know I watch the most Twolf games of everyone here and I assure you that Minnesota is desperate af to dump Wiggins to try and lure or trade for someone to put next to KAT. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzard Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 We aint buying Wiggins just to get Capela. Can anyone here not recognize BS when they see it? Its a four team trade with Wiggins involved and that is to get another pick so GSW would be willing to take on Wiggins for Russell. Quote The Minnesota Timberwolves continue to try to orchestrate a four-team trade that would allow them to acquire D'Angelo Russell from the Golden State Warriors. https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/257059/Andrew-Wiggins-Likely-Would-Need-To-Be-Included-In-Any-Trade-For-DAngelo-Russell 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just need to have his mental game checked and explained you are not the guy anymore . I have exhaustively contemplated this scenario. I have carefully weighed all the potential variables of what Wiggins and Trae could do together. I have pondered how much of a weight off his shoulders being traded from Minnesota would have on Wiggins mental health and confidence as a player. After careful consideration this is the only acceptable response our GM should give Minnesota about any scenario with the Hawks taking Wiggins on: 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to take on Wiggins for DLo. I think this trade between these teams will fade out soon and be dead. the only scenario I can see maybe working is hawks taking on Wiggins ONLY if we can get minnys first rd pick unprotected in 2021 and an additional protected first td pick in the future 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
