A lot satisfied with this trade. It actually points towards playing our youth, and, dare I joke about It, big game hunting

Yeah But at rookie scale contract deals - only guys being kept to a 4th year being dudes that either have no market, that might not even get a second contract, or too good to be traded, at least for peanuts - not near max rookie extension

Aside from the obvious Ace, my major curiosity revolves around Flip and Hendricks

As much there's work to be done on defense, he could use some work on shooting efficiency You know, there a reason why some players gets minutes despite minutes limitations, they help their team get buckets. But If you're gonna struggle to reach 40% fg and 35% fg3...

I'll be okay If we be keeping one of Nurkic or Collins, not for trying to win, but to provide competition, accountability and a functioning system for the young players to grow. But If It gets just about prioritizing vets that have no business being a core part of a future contending team, then...

So we traded up for... Another guard They might really like him.

That's my biggest fear in any trade talk for him. Could he make us give a 9~14 pick of a loaded draft to a Championship team (already loaded in young talent and high upside picks) that plays in our own division ?

I wonder If Filipowski will be up for a leap next season. Kinda voting for him. Not sure I believe in Key at this point. Collier can be good, but his shot doesn't look like a one offseason thing. We were hopeful for Hendricks at the start of last season, but who knows how much the injury finna...

Only one I could be okay keeping on a cheap would be Sexton, but what's the point for both sides ?

The tinfoil hat in me would name the Mavs by the generational talent they gave away rather than the ones they have right now.

I wonder If there's a Lakers fans comments topic in a Wolves board

As It was stated, the Bucks don't have control over any of their picks till 2030. I think any discussion for a Giannis trade from our perspective would have to include whatever young players we think we could be okay partying ways with, be It Collier, Key, Sensabaugh, Cody, Hendricks, Kyle and...

That should be Randle's best playoff performance of his life. Putting the work within the Wolves physical defense, scoring along the flow of the offense, being a reliable enough secondary creator behind Ant. Nothing too flash (still some highlights, but not being defined by some crazy moment or...

And Lauri's contract doesn't really concerns me. Jazz ain't using cap space to get game changing fa signings, nor do they currently have any young players to be getting max to near max rookie extensions in the next 3 years outside of Kessler (whom I fear much more being someone we could be...

I'd feel more pressured to trade Lauri If his presence alone was driving winning.
