Can the WOLVES make a competitive offer for Trae Young? Dillingham/17/Randle/Donte/Swaps? With Randle and DDV a contender for value/prospects?

What makes him available?


yea that part was weird. He's not available


Not right now, but I could certainly see IQ becoming available at the TDL if 2 things happen
1. TOR drafts BPA at #9 -- and it's a PG who needs minutes (does Fears drop?)
2. One of Toronto's bench kids pops and demands rotation minutes at PG (maybe Walter or Shead)

Gobert LAKERS
Poelt/IQ/Hachimura WOLVES
Naz/DDV/Vincent RAPTORS(Selec Draft Maluach)


Hate this for the Raptors

If TOR moves IQ for Naz, it would be beyond pointless to throw in Poeltl for DDV/Vincent -- the last thing TOR needs is more shooting/combo guards and make the front line even weaker
In a no-win argument, the first poster to Let It Go will at least retain some peace of mind

(they are probably wrong) but the justification behind this.. the Raptors strong core would have Barrett/Ingram/Barnes 3 wings that can handle the ball and are good creators/passers, with the same "defect" 3 point percentage/volume... I thought they don't need a typical PG, with a 3D guard that doesn't need the ball much... and a 5 that can stretch the floor and give space for their talented Wings to operate
