Honestly, this trade doesn’t really make sense to me, Wiggins is ok, but I would rather have Russell personally. Protected 1st round picks are essentially useless depending on the protection. I believe the heat got by far the best value for their trade today.

Doesn't do much for either team in terms of winning. Both have been massive disappointments.

GS tanking and reloading with draft picks for when Steph and Klay are healthy.
I agree but I think it’s about fit. Judging Steph and Klay get back, Wiggins fits better.

Wiggins is not a good player, he has quite a few deficiencies in his game, some mental ones even, but I do wonder if being #4 in GS will help him settle on a role and become a good NBA player

fair enough, Russell wasn’t a fit with those two all on the court together, as he has to have the ball in his hands. But Wiggins is a notorious loafer, and not efficient in any aspect of his game. Both are meh. Lol. But you’re right, Wiggins fits better as he doesn’t always have to have the ball in his hands.

Russell is a gunner that brings nothing to the table but scoring , no defense , no passing and that was a bad contract that Gs got out of.
Wiggins is still young and is a good player, long , athletic and plays d. He’ll be a third or fourth option next year and is a better fit if you’re trying to make a deep run. He won’t have to be the main ball handler and the guy there.
This also frees up money for Gs, they’ll sign five minimum guys and will have money to blow next year while getting a high pick.The cherry on top is Wiggins contract ends in 2022, if he leaves that’ll leave enough money to go get another max guy or close.
I’m shocked they found somebody to take Russell’s contract , that’s hilarious.

the wolves have wanted him bad for a while. They were trying to figure out how to get him last off-season

Yeah you’re right , it was down to Gs and Min in fa.
Gs took him just because there was nobody left , all the insiders said they’d trade him before the all star break, I never got that.
