This trade idea was posted on the SI Fan Nation Atlanta Hawks site:
Atlanta gets Karl-Anthony Towns and Marcus Smart
Minnesota gets Dejounte Murray and Bodgan Bogdanovic
Memphis gets Clint Capela and Sacramento's 2025 1st round pick (top 12 protected in 2025, top 10 protected in 2026, else 2026 & 2027 2nd round pick) .

A hawks fan posted that. I would have never guessed in a million years.

As a Hawks fan I can tell you we have some of the dumbest fans on the planet. They know nothing about basketball they just root for the team. Weirdest bunch I've ever seen. You would be hard pressed to find a Hawks fan that is disgruntled about the Hawks given Bogdan Bogdanavic 7 yrs worth of contracts totaling 140 million fans of teams like Boston, Mavs, NY teams would cuss them out if they signed players like that to those types of contracts.

Just going to throw this out there:
Minnesota gets Brandon Ingram, Herbert Jones, and Larry Nance Jr
New Orleans gets Karl-Anthony Towns, Jaden McDaniels, and Wendell Moore Jr.

This is so horrible for wolves.
02 Feb 2024 15:27:26
simple trade between Minnesota and Detroit
Minnesota gets Monte Morris
Detroit gets Shake Milton, Wendell Moore, and 2025 2nd round pick from Utah that Minnesota owns.
18 May 2023 18:57:50
Knicks get Town
Wolves get Rose (waive), Fournier, Quickley, Sims, Dallas 2024 1st, Milwaukee 2025 1st, New York's 2027 1st and New York's 2029 1st.

If Charlotte wants to add a all-star caliber player next to LaMelo, a trade for Towns might be doable, especially if Minnesota loses on Friday and Charlotte's 1st round pick drops a couple of spots.
So, Charlotte gets Towns
Minnesota gets Gordon Hayward (to make money work), Mark Williams, Charlottes 2023 1st round pick, and maybe a future protected 1st or a couple of 2nd round picks.
Charlotte gets the 2nd star to pain with LaMelo that they need and Minnesota establishes that Edwards is their top guy going forward.

I don't know why but I see KAT in OKC next season.

Holiday to Minnesota
Teague, Culver, future unprotected 1st round pick, and 2 future 2nd round picks to New Orleans.

Now that Minnesota has re-signed Rose, I think they should do the same with Bjelica.
And as much as I would like for them to move Wiggins, I just don't see it happening.
One free agent I would like them to bring in is James Ennis. More of a 3 who can also play small ball 4, would be a nice addition for the Wolves.
Drafting Okogie and KBD, re-signing Rose and Bjelica, and bringing in Ennis would go a long way to improving Minnesota's bench.

What do you think is a realistic trade for Andrew Wiggins? I know he probably has some value, given his age and potential upside that is still there. But his contract and lack of improvement have hurt him. But he has proven that he can be a lead scorer and sometimes plays good defense.
A few teams that he could be traded to:
Miami, but only as part of a complex three or more team trade
Charlotte, maybe in a swap for Batum, since they have equally bad contracts, but Charlotte would have to offer Minnesota something because of Batum's injury concern.
New York, they are always looking for a star type player, and Wiggins, even with his issues, is close to a star level player.
Brooklyn, would give them a ready made lead scorer and young talent, since they have not had their top pick for 3 years and have missed out on a lot of top level young talent
Orlando, both Wiggins and Orlando might need a fresh start
Sacramento, they could use a go to scorer and Wiggins can be that
What do you think?
1.) 30 Apr 2018 15:51:37
I think it might be hard for Minnesota to get equal value back for him, but teams that could make some sense imo are Detroit, Miami, New Orleans, Indy, and Portland.
Detroit could offer Griffin or find a 3 way trade for Drummond.
Miami could offer something like Winslow, Richardson and Olynyk.
New Orleans could offer Hill, Mirotic and maybe some combination of picks and younger players.
Indy could offer some cap savings, picks and role players.
Portland could offer McCollum, but would probably need more back than just Wiggins.

How about just hold on to him and fire thibedou then trade jimmy for a 3 point shooter and a pick cause jimmy is not staying in Minnesota and if he does that team is a first round exit every time but if you trade Wiggins what incentive does kat have to stay. butler for Mccollum something along that.

If Minnesota wanted to trade Wiggins, how high of a pick to you think they could get in this years draft?
1.) 17 May 2017 14:46:44
1st overall plus more.
2.) 17 May 2017 17:23:54
Um. no rkenne. just no.
Wiggins is starting to look like far less than what people made him out to be. The problem is, while he is a pretty solid scorer, at this point, that appears to be it. He is actually a negative on the defensive end. He doesn't rebound particularly well and he isn't much of a passer.
And he is already completed his third year. I don't know how much more complete of a player he will become. If he was in this draft and you knew this is where he would be after year 3, I see him going 3-7.
Absolutely not worth the 1st overall and more. Just stop.

Wiggins hasn't been and doesn't project to be the heir to Lebron like some projected him to be coming out of Kansas and has been considerably worse on the defensive end than many thought but dude is still only 22 and one of the top prospects in the league. He has been extremely healthy (playing in all but one game in his first 3 years) and has scored over 20 ppg his past two seasons. He also made a big jump this past season improving his 3pt % from 30% to a respectable 35.6%. Issue is he doesn't do much else besides scoring with only 4 double doubles in his entire career.
I see no reason why Twolves would want to trade Wiggins for a pick in this years draft but for point of reference Jackson has been heavily compared to him and many regard him as 2nd or 3rd best prospect in the draft. You have to factor in the unknown factor (Jackson could be better than expected or much worse than expected) and the contract situation as well as the adjustment period and age in the value. If Wiggins was in this draft I think he'd be minimally #4 pick and maybe as high as #2 behind Fultz due to the increasing importance of point guards and shooters in today's game.
However, for it to make sense for Twolves to trade him they'd want #1 plus more since Twolves already have a promising team and with KAT they don't need Wiggins to be the next Lebron for them to be successful. There is always the risk that whomever they trade him for is not as good (Wiggins has been pretty darn good thus far) or worst a complete bust so they'd have to be compensated for that.
I'm not sure Celtics would be willing to do that (although maybe they would since Wiggins could help them to win right now and still keep the future bright while Fultz it remains to be seen if he can have an immediate impact) .

Timberwolves off season.
Pek takes a medical retirement so his salary doesn't count for next year.
Waive Jordan Hill and his non guaranteed contract for next year.
Let Rush, Muhammad, Payne, and Casspi leave via free agency.
Trade Andrew Wiggins, Cole Aldrich, and no 6 (or 7) pick to Chicago for Jimmy Butler and 15 (or 16) pick.
Sign Serge Ibaka to a max deal and Andre Roberson to a deal.
Rubio/ Jones
LaVine/ Dunn
Butler/ Roberson
Ibaka/ Bjelica
Towns/ Deing.
1.) 13 Apr 2017 16:46:12
The rest of the core fits wiggins time line. His ceiling is probably higher than Butler's. I'm not sure if they trade Wiggins for Butler straight up let alone adding the pick.
2.) 14 Apr 2017 01:14:13
Trading Wiggins for Butler could make some sense but I wouldn't give up Twolves pick too (I don't think Bulls pick justifies it since big drop-off in talent after 11 imo) . I'd swap LaVine in for Wiggins and potentially do this trade. I believe Bulls wanted LaVine and pick that end up as Dunn for Butler last summer so maybe it could work. Losing LaVine's shooting will hurt a lot tho especially with Rubio and Dunn both poor 3pt shooters although Wiggins improved to a respectable 36% this season. I could see Thibs however pushing hard to get his man Butler back.
If I'm Twolves I'd probably just stick with what they have especially when Issac or worst case Markkanen will be available with their lotto pick. Issac would be a scary pf on the team with his versatility and ability to stretch the floor and play defense.
24 Jun 2024 21:42:52
Which Jones? I don’t think Tyus would sign for that when he can probably get $60 million over 4 years.
19 Jun 2024 16:25:56
This is really bad for San Antonio.
02 Jun 2024 01:34:07
I'd rather this be a 3 team trade with the #2 pick going elsewhere and the Wolves getting players and future draft picks (to offset the ones from the Gobert trade) coming back.
31 Jan 2024 14:23:28
Why does Sacramento do this?
28 Jan 2024 23:35:20
Why would Charlotte do that?
