idk if I can think of a more expensive 3rd option than Wiggins, but we'll see if playing with the splash bros will make him any less sucky

This seems like a typical bad Cleveland idea. Isn’t Tristan Thompson still there?
He is pretty much gone next year. Seems they see Drummond part of their future

Marcus Morris going to the Clippers is going to be a huge move in the end

Getting Andrew Wiggins was an awful move by the Warriors.

At first I thought so as well, then I remembered that FO is currently the GOAT of the NBA.

Paxson is the third longest serving executive in the NBA currently. Pop and Riley are ahead of him. They have 7 rings and 10 Finals appearances between them. Paxson has zero.

Behind Paxson is Danny Ainge (also started in 2003) and Donn Nelson (Dallas, started in 2005). They each have one ring and two total Finals appearances.

Paxson still is at zero.

Jerry really values loyalty.

They're good, but even the best make mistakes.

Wiggins is a bad defender, a streaky shooter, and doesn't offer much anywhere else. At his price point, he is extremely overrated.

Reading T-Wolves' fans thoughts about this move, they seem thrilled. A lot of comments talking about how he consistently looked lost on defense, lazy on offense, etc. I read a story about how his basketball IQ was so low that his coaches made him watch film to better understand how the game is to be played, and he was caught playing video games instead.

The guy has showed almost 0 improvement in 5 years.

I think GS fell in love with athleticism, and they're gonna suffer as a result, I'm predicting.

We'll see. I also think back to there is a reason LeBron didn't want him.
