Accept We've been looking to upgrade at the power forward position since the beginning of the season, and this gets it done. With the west so weak this year were going all in. We feel with a little help from the Sim gods we can challenge Denver for the western conference title this year!

Wow Sacramento might be in trouble this summer but they are absolutely stacked now. And great value for Walt on moving Gallo, about the best he could hope for

Power move from Sacramento, though if my cap math checks out it’s dicey that Drummond could be signed to a full max if he opts out...

Well, this is the end of this season, at least, for me. Very likely the beginning of the end of my run at making the Timberwolves one of the best in the league.
A couple of years back, I told myself I was going to at least be one of the more competitive teams in the league, even if I might not be a truly contending team for the championship. We gave it a run, we traded our (pretty late) 1st round pick last year to get Gallinari to try to push it, but couldn't quite make it. We traded for Wall this offseason, hoping that the rest of the team would at least keep us in the playoff hunt until (hopefully) John could make it back, and things were very much on track. Even added Redick to be a perfect SG option, tons of shooting on the team, tons of space, etc.
But, alas. Blake's season-ending injury has convinced me that this season is going to be a lost cause. Our depth is not what it was previously, and we have been selling young pieces off for too long to have enough to hope on before this trade. Blake out of the season, and now Danilo is traded away. Wilson Chandler was actually one of my favorite players years ago while on the Knicks, but I'm happy to see him go to a competitive team for the rest of this year.
So, here we go. NAW is someone I'm very excited about, and (this could be the Knicks fan in me, again, talking) I think Ntilikina has a chance to turn into something. I think he's already a very gifted defender, and has shown signs that he at least has a useful offensive game in him somewhere, including this off-season while playing for the French national team.
Suffice to say, I've said enough here. I'm at the very least trying to get a better pick this year, and will re-evaluate if/when John Wall works his way back from injury.
Pleasure dealing with you, Amare.

I'm surprised you can't get more for sim-demi-god Gallo, but I accept.

Walt Frazier this trade actually requires you to drop a player before I can process it Amare Stoudemire I'm going to hold up your signings until this deal goes through and you clear roster spots.
