I actually think MIN loses this trade.
DLo is NOT good defensively, and whatever you think about KAT's defense, he's not the type of player you seek out to make up for another player's defensive deficiencies.
Wiggins and DLo are 24 and 23, respectively, and are owed $93M and $90M, respectively.
Neither team gained or ditched an albatross contract. Except one team gained a pick that's only top 3 protected. If the DLo KAT pairing doesn't work out (I don't think it's going to go that well), that pick could be top 10 in 2022.
And if any team is going to refine the natural physical abilities Wiggins has failed to truly capitalize on thus far, it will be the Warriors.

I think Minnesota knows that DLo isn't actually very good, but they also know KAT is unhappy and is good friends with DLo. Plus now they've now acquired 2 out of 3 pieces of Exodia, in the friendship between Russell, Towns, and Booker. If Booker decides he is fed up and requests a trade from the Suns any time soon, Minnesota is going to be at the top of his list.

Agreed on the Wiggins points with the Dubs— if any team can extract full effort from this guy, it’s them, and if he still fails, well...there’s no saving him. I do think what can’t be underestimated though is if adding DLo buys the TWolves another season or two on KAT, they had to do this. It’s not like they’d ever get fair value for him, even trading him in year 2 of 5 if he had demanded a move this offseason, but at least they can say “we got one of YOUR guys, now shut your mouth and play”

Absolutely agreed with you both. It's something the Wolves kinda had to do for KAT. I just don't think it will work out for them lol.

Wiggins is going to be 32 and people will still be touting his "potential" and saying he just needs the right situation to succeed.
He sucks. Full stop. His contract is probably the worst in the NBA.
The draft pick is nice and I'm not even a huge fan of DLO but the warriors get completely destroyed here value wise

I think Wiggins is great. As a 3rd option with other good playmakers and defenders on the team.
His contract is awful and he is a huge disappointment because of his hype. But he'll be playing next to Steph, Klay, and Draymond. He'll be a more capable Harrison Barnes.

Giannis picks D5 teammate Kemba Walker over James Harden, says "I want someone who's going to pass the ball"

Eh, it's not like Wiggins is good on defense either and DLo is much more creative offensively.

streamable.com/8rdtlKAT looks so happy. Maybe they will succeed through the sheer power of friendship. And I mean that 100% seriously. Chemistry boost 1000%

Have you heard Woj news about possibly not having a Combine? Puts a lot of questions Marks into this draft

Puts a lot of questions Marks into this draft Nope, but this draft was already shaping up to be a crapshoot— probably doesn’t change the outlook a ton, especially at the top of the draft. Where it’ll hurt is the lack of scrimmages for those mid to late 1st types that could move up or down.

Jazz are picking Mitchell for sure. Capela went to Atlanta so I think this is a crapshoot

Giannis could very well be the MVP with the fewest minutes played in NBA history. He played less than the leading 6th man of the year.

Meanwhile a team with Gary Harris at PF and Jrue Holiday and the Sioux Falls Skyforce are cruising to winning records and playoff berths.

That's one of the biggest reasons I'm against a drastic reduction for us. It just further overpowers and rewards the teams that unrealistically tanked for years when rookie contracts are already OP to begin with

It just further overpowers and rewards the teams that unrealistically tanked for years when rookie contracts are already OP to begin with Are our rookie contracts really more powerful than real rookie contracts though? The "5th Year" that we have is practically the equivalent of if a player were to sign their qualifying offer instead of an extension. Which is a situation most teams try to avoid with core young players. We might even have less control over our rookies here than in reality because we only get a guaranteed 5 years as opposed to 4 plus a potential 5 from the first extension. If anything, I think 2nd Round contracts should actually have an extra year. Aside from that, the only other really big difference is draft pick cap holds, which I do think we should implement. It's minor but it does hit pick value a little by slapping on the rookie contracts during OSFA as opposed to after.
