You made out well considering the wonky chemistry with your team with Butler. Saric and Covington will fit right in, and will become fan favorites.

Bitter sweet feeling for me because I know that we just got better, but we also traded guys that I was highly invested in. Good luck.

I hope Twolves fans feel like they got a good deal once everyone is acclimated.

Most won't because of the Lavine/Lauri/Dunn element

I am disgusted. What a terrible trade. This trade pretty much guarantys that we'll be a borderline playoff team for years to come. In other words, NBA pergutory.

If Houston really offered 4 1sts and we took this deal instead... good lord.


Not at all... lots of the nbas best players currently came after the lotto or towards the end of the lotto. Do the research and you’ll see it’s true.

Huh?

Wiggs was always better as a sg.

Wiggs
Covington

Kat

This philly deal is better than the heat one imo.

I am not a fan of the deal myself but I really don't know the two players well. Right now I am disappointed in the return that's for sure. With that said we did address one aspect of the team, we finally got a white guy lol.

The best part of this is that it's now clear KAT is the dominant player. We add 2 legit 3 point shooters to space the floor and let him go to work. Towns should be taking 20 FGA/g now. This is GOOD. We won't be a nightmare to watch anymore.

The real icing on the cake would be firing Thibs though

You have a really really young core of some really talented guys. Butler brought nothing to you this season.

Saric and KAT can be a devastating duo, both can score in and out of the painted area, use that wisely ...

Once we see Okogie and Corvington wing defense, a lot of you will change your minds about not liking this. Book it.

I do like the fit and contracts of RoCo and Saric. However, this is the lowest ceiling type trade I can think of. The fact that Patton was also thrown in and the pick coming back is only a 2nd shows that even more. The future is all on KAT and Wiggins. They have the right role players in place now.

No, they have to start Covington. The guy is one of the best 3D guys in the league. Perfect next to Wiggins. Rose should be 6th man at most at this point despite is nice game a week or two ago.
