Wolves aren't trading Dieng for that

I have no idea how I feel about this trade. Phoenix gets solid value, but gives up what probably ends up being a late lottery pick, a heavy price.
Minny gets decent value for Martin. Not sure if they get enough for both Martin and Dieng, but it's close. I also don't see why you cut Kaman, keep the vet around to be another mentor.
Portland gets great value, but ends up needing to either flip Morris, or trade one of their other bigs. All 5 of those guys deserve minutes. And I'd love to pick up Martin on the cheap to flip him at the trade deadline for a package like Denver got for afflalo last year, maybe a mid to late first.

I would stick with Henderson and not Martin and why with Davis and most of all Vonleh you would want to have Morris?

The Wolves have said they want a 1st for Martin, Dieng has way more value than Martin, I'm not sure that return is even close to enough for Dieng, let alone adding Martin.
Plus the Wolves aren't going to give a young player for a draft pick, that defeats the purpose of rebuilding

I think no one will give a first rounder for Martin. Maybe if this pick would not be among the first 20 picks.
