It's so hard to build around a max C who plays no defense. KAT is fools gold

Wiggins and Wiseman for KAT.

Get it done, Bob.

Nah...fool's gold. Im guessing Dray would pop a vein in his head yelling at KAT.

add in picks/swaps to balance, but in terms of cap the above trade is legal.

Dlo doesn’t help Phil . But the rest of the trade is nice .

Efficiency isn't great as a 20-year old sophomore, but he's already the type of player who can go on a run and change a game at any moment. I never want him deferring because you never know when the next shot is going to go in and shift the momentum.

That isn’t even positive value in trade for a top 20 player. Hmmmm

No to KAT.

22/7/4 on the season... as a 20-year old, nonetheless.

Efficiency could be a bit better (43/34/76), though it's not a bad as some make it seem.

Sky's the limit... this guy is gonna be a top 10 player for the better part of a decade.

They just dumped the albatross that is Wiggins contract, why would they take it back?

Absolutely, the guy can completely take over games and his team is already picking up wins in his second year. Hes done incredibly well as a number one pick who has delivered. Those who nitpick over efficiency are missing quite a show!

He looks way better this year. He plays bigger than his height would show. Not only a great scorer, but a great defender as well.

The fact that he's doing what he's doing at age 20 is impressive and a little scary. Other top SGs like Beal for example didn't look this good this young.

He is so blessed as an athlete that the sky is the limit for the kid if he works hard to improve his skill set.

Honestly in the west after the Jazz it's wide open, I don't really see any reason why the Wolves can't be the 4th seed in the west.

The Trailblazers, Lakers, Clippers, Mavs, Nuggets and Grizzlies are all dealing with their own issues.

For Edwards it'll all depends on his BBIQ at this point imo.

Idk, as long as Jokic is healthy, I don't see how the Wolves can have a better record than Denver, but yea, 5th seed is entirely possible if we stay healthy.

Ant's EFG% is fine. His EFG% currently is 50.5% which is fairly decent for a 2nd year guard/wing. His TS% is ok but it's not as impressive as his EFG% because TS% takes into account FreeThrows and Ant hasn't been going to FT line much this season. His FT attempts have infact reduced when compared to last season and only attempting 3.2 FTs per game. He doesn't get many calls but just has to keep doing what he does, drive more and will eventually start getting calls. He also needs to improve his passing in PnR

Long term who you got Ant or Cade?

What's this whole "dump KAT" stuff? Since when can you only build around one young star? Good think GS never followed that line thinking.

KAT is a max C who can't play any defense, those guys are very tricky (not impossible) to build a winner around.

If you can trade him for value, and fit with Edwards, then now is the time IMO.
