Knicks get Town
Wolves get Rose (waive), Fournier, Quickley, Sims, Dallas 2024 1st, Milwaukee 2025 1st, New York's 2027 1st and New York's 2029 1st.

If Charlotte wants to add a all-star caliber player next to LaMelo, a trade for Towns might be doable, especially if Minnesota loses on Friday and Charlotte's 1st round pick drops a couple of spots.
So, Charlotte gets Towns
Minnesota gets Gordon Hayward (to make money work), Mark Williams, Charlottes 2023 1st round pick, and maybe a future protected 1st or a couple of 2nd round picks.
Charlotte gets the 2nd star to pain with LaMelo that they need and Minnesota establishes that Edwards is their top guy going forward.

I don't know why but I see KAT in OKC next season.

I saw this trade idea on that nba analysis site.
Brooklyn gets Towns
Minnesota gets Bridges, Harris, and a 2027 1st round pick
As a Wolves fan, I am hesitant to trade Towns without giving the Towns-Gobert pairing a little more time (I think they were starting to figure it out before Towns got injured) .
That said, I think Bridges would be a great fit next to Ant. Bridges could be the Robin to Ant's Batman.

Gobert-Ant-Bridges seems alot like Ayton-Booker-Bridges.
08 Feb 2023 19:11:22
two trades:
Minnesota trades Prince and Reid to Philadelphia for Melton
Minnesota trades Russel and Forbes to the Clippers for Kennard, Covington, and Coffey.
06 Feb 2023 18:14:37
Clippers get Russell, Reid, Nowell, and Rivers or Forbes
Minnesota gets Kennard, Covington, Coffey, and Mann.
1.) 06 Feb 2023 19:18:14
So wolves give up the two best players in the deal why?
2.) 06 Feb 2023 20:22:34
Should they swap stadiums and mascots as well?

Holiday to Minnesota
Teague, Culver, future unprotected 1st round pick, and 2 future 2nd round picks to New Orleans.

Now that Minnesota has re-signed Rose, I think they should do the same with Bjelica.
And as much as I would like for them to move Wiggins, I just don't see it happening.
One free agent I would like them to bring in is James Ennis. More of a 3 who can also play small ball 4, would be a nice addition for the Wolves.
Drafting Okogie and KBD, re-signing Rose and Bjelica, and bringing in Ennis would go a long way to improving Minnesota's bench.

What do you think is a realistic trade for Andrew Wiggins? I know he probably has some value, given his age and potential upside that is still there. But his contract and lack of improvement have hurt him. But he has proven that he can be a lead scorer and sometimes plays good defense.
A few teams that he could be traded to:
Miami, but only as part of a complex three or more team trade
Charlotte, maybe in a swap for Batum, since they have equally bad contracts, but Charlotte would have to offer Minnesota something because of Batum's injury concern.
New York, they are always looking for a star type player, and Wiggins, even with his issues, is close to a star level player.
Brooklyn, would give them a ready made lead scorer and young talent, since they have not had their top pick for 3 years and have missed out on a lot of top level young talent
Orlando, both Wiggins and Orlando might need a fresh start
Sacramento, they could use a go to scorer and Wiggins can be that
What do you think?
1.) 30 Apr 2018 15:51:37
I think it might be hard for Minnesota to get equal value back for him, but teams that could make some sense imo are Detroit, Miami, New Orleans, Indy, and Portland.
Detroit could offer Griffin or find a 3 way trade for Drummond.
Miami could offer something like Winslow, Richardson and Olynyk.
New Orleans could offer Hill, Mirotic and maybe some combination of picks and younger players.
Indy could offer some cap savings, picks and role players.
Portland could offer McCollum, but would probably need more back than just Wiggins.

How about just hold on to him and fire thibedou then trade jimmy for a 3 point shooter and a pick cause jimmy is not staying in Minnesota and if he does that team is a first round exit every time but if you trade Wiggins what incentive does kat have to stay. butler for Mccollum something along that.

If Minnesota wanted to trade Wiggins, how high of a pick to you think they could get in this years draft?
1.) 17 May 2017 14:46:44
1st overall plus more.
2.) 17 May 2017 17:23:54
Um. no rkenne. just no.
Wiggins is starting to look like far less than what people made him out to be. The problem is, while he is a pretty solid scorer, at this point, that appears to be it. He is actually a negative on the defensive end. He doesn't rebound particularly well and he isn't much of a passer.
And he is already completed his third year. I don't know how much more complete of a player he will become. If he was in this draft and you knew this is where he would be after year 3, I see him going 3-7.
Absolutely not worth the 1st overall and more. Just stop.

Wiggins hasn't been and doesn't project to be the heir to Lebron like some projected him to be coming out of Kansas and has been considerably worse on the defensive end than many thought but dude is still only 22 and one of the top prospects in the league. He has been extremely healthy (playing in all but one game in his first 3 years) and has scored over 20 ppg his past two seasons. He also made a big jump this past season improving his 3pt % from 30% to a respectable 35.6%. Issue is he doesn't do much else besides scoring with only 4 double doubles in his entire career.
I see no reason why Twolves would want to trade Wiggins for a pick in this years draft but for point of reference Jackson has been heavily compared to him and many regard him as 2nd or 3rd best prospect in the draft. You have to factor in the unknown factor (Jackson could be better than expected or much worse than expected) and the contract situation as well as the adjustment period and age in the value. If Wiggins was in this draft I think he'd be minimally #4 pick and maybe as high as #2 behind Fultz due to the increasing importance of point guards and shooters in today's game.
However, for it to make sense for Twolves to trade him they'd want #1 plus more since Twolves already have a promising team and with KAT they don't need Wiggins to be the next Lebron for them to be successful. There is always the risk that whomever they trade him for is not as good (Wiggins has been pretty darn good thus far) or worst a complete bust so they'd have to be compensated for that.
I'm not sure Celtics would be willing to do that (although maybe they would since Wiggins could help them to win right now and still keep the future bright while Fultz it remains to be seen if he can have an immediate impact) .

Timberwolves off season.
Pek takes a medical retirement so his salary doesn't count for next year.
Waive Jordan Hill and his non guaranteed contract for next year.
Let Rush, Muhammad, Payne, and Casspi leave via free agency.
Trade Andrew Wiggins, Cole Aldrich, and no 6 (or 7) pick to Chicago for Jimmy Butler and 15 (or 16) pick.
Sign Serge Ibaka to a max deal and Andre Roberson to a deal.
Rubio/ Jones
LaVine/ Dunn
Butler/ Roberson
Ibaka/ Bjelica
Towns/ Deing.
1.) 13 Apr 2017 16:46:12
The rest of the core fits wiggins time line. His ceiling is probably higher than Butler's. I'm not sure if they trade Wiggins for Butler straight up let alone adding the pick.
2.) 14 Apr 2017 01:14:13
Trading Wiggins for Butler could make some sense but I wouldn't give up Twolves pick too (I don't think Bulls pick justifies it since big drop-off in talent after 11 imo) . I'd swap LaVine in for Wiggins and potentially do this trade. I believe Bulls wanted LaVine and pick that end up as Dunn for Butler last summer so maybe it could work. Losing LaVine's shooting will hurt a lot tho especially with Rubio and Dunn both poor 3pt shooters although Wiggins improved to a respectable 36% this season. I could see Thibs however pushing hard to get his man Butler back.
If I'm Twolves I'd probably just stick with what they have especially when Issac or worst case Markkanen will be available with their lotto pick. Issac would be a scary pf on the team with his versatility and ability to stretch the floor and play defense.

Doesn't sound like you are a Raptors fan.
30 May 2023 02:42:57
Minnesota ain't trading McDaniels for that.
14 May 2023 22:07:57
I think you are missing a little in this post.
11 May 2023 07:28:02
Before the Wolves traded for Gobert, I thought Isaac would make the perfect PF next to Towns.
Even if the Wolves trade Towns, Isaac would be a good pickup for them. Isaac and McDaniels could make a great defensive combo at the forward spots.

The Magic might be far enough under the cap to be able to sign FVV without having to give up assets.
