Hey guys,

I wanted to see what the rest of the forums opinion was if this off season we traded for Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins has a bad rep (rightfully so) of being a player that doesn't "try" and justs gets by on using his athleticism and talent. He's also on a massive contract for the next 4 years. He's only 24 and is a career 19 point scorer which is something that this team desperately needs. I think he would fit in extremely well with our young core and has the potential to be an excellent defender if surrounded by a coach and teammates that play hard every game. If we traded for him in the off season a combination of Dion & James Johnson or Goran & James Johnson to Minnesota for him without giving up any picks I think it could work out us going forward.

Let me know what you guys think?

They’d have to take JJ and Waiters (they wouldnt) and even then Wiggins albatross contract would cut into our future flexibility. He’d have to be a 25 ppg guy to live up to that contract and I have no reason to believe he could do that.

There are better players in the draft that's will be available at the Heats pick

Oh he could EASILY be a 25 ppg scorer. He'd just have to take 30-40 shots a game to get there though

i am sure with the right environnment he could become a good player but not at that price.
I saw games of him this season, they are not playing for him, it's KAT first and later when there is few seconds in the clock for Wiggins

I thought about this but his contract is too long and people don't seem to like him.

Lol we have a guy named j rich that gets the same amount of points and plays 3 times better defense on a 4/42 contract. Not worth it

Take Whiteside and give us this years first and another second

And yea

Just for fun imagine Westbrook and Wiggins on this team. Can Spo change them or will they make Spo leave?

i approve of trading expirings for Wiggins. nice young player imho.

Make the fans leave lol

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Looter in a riot stats + insane contract that makes Whiteside look like value. No bleeping way. No. Uh uh. Nope. Not in this lifetime. **** no!

They're paying him $33 mil in 2023?

If he comes with the 10th then I’m fine with trading for him. It pushes out FA shopping back to 2021, but gives us 2 picks this year and incentive to tank next year.

Wiggins's contract would need serious incentive, at least two FRP, this season's and lottery-protected 2021. I doubt if the Wolves, who really have a piss-poor chance of building a serious team again in the next few years would accept such a deal. James Johnson and Dion Waiters have great value juxtaposed with Wiggins.

Wiggins hasn't shown anything over the past couple years to warrant taking this gamble. That contract is too scary to be worth rolling the dice on. It's a no from me.

He took Nerlens Noel out with force.

he’s only two degrees removed from being an aussie mod wilts. plus he’s a former #1 pick in draft like ben simmons.

canadian -> brit -> aussie
