2020 NBA Trade Deadline thread (Russell to T-Wolves)

[SilenceS]

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.

He fits next to Curry and Thompson better then DLo. At worst, he becomes offense off the bench but now the Warriors can package their 2 first round picks into another player that has them competing for a championship again.

Wait, they have two first round picks this year?

Jerry really values loyalty.

Jerry values guys that know their way around a tackle box.

No, they a top 20 protected pick this and the first rounder they got is a top 3 protected next year. If protected next year, they get it in 2022 and it is unprotected.

There top 20 protected pick this year is going to a second round pick in 2025.

They have built up draft capital to trade for another higher tier player IMO.

Nice for Steve Kerr to come out and say that there were questions on how he was going to fit with the warriors.

Guys gonna get a reputation.,
