Couldn’t he have done a sign and trade to Minnie?
Brooklyn wouldn't have wanted whatever trash contracts Minnie would have needed to trade to make that work.

He might suck on defense when the team is requiring him to score 20+ per game. When he will be asked to score 15PPG, I'm sure he will be able to expend more energy on the defensive end. All he has to do is fill the role of being a more expensive Barnes, who wasn't an All NBA defensive type anyways.
He was trash in 2017-18 when he had a smaller role playing behind Butler and Towns.
Agreed.
I'm just looking at him to be a Harrison Barnes, who I don't think much of, rather than the guy who was drafted 1st overall and is making 30 million a season.

Awful trade for Minnesota. Trading for a no defense playing chucker to go with a disgruntled superstar who already has to be begged to try hard on defense. So he'll have his club buddy for another year and a half and when they still suck and don't make the playoffs he'll still want out.
So they are saying it's top 3 protected? Wolves are #5 right now in the tank race. The 4th - 6th pick has so much more value than MeAngelo Russel on that deal. This is an insane haul for GSW.
Think about this, they have a chance if the ping pong balls cooperate to have traded a one legged corpse of Kevin Durant for the #4 pick in the draft and the Wiggins project. PLUS by enacting the tank with MeAngelo leading the brigade have their own possibly #1 pick this year. Just insane how quickly they can reload.

Def wouldn’t do this without the wolves 1st and top 3 protected in 21’ unprotected in 22’?
Dis gone be gud

Barnes was on a rookie deal and was responsible for losing a championship so if he's like Barnes he sucks hard.

Should of done that with Russell then who is a better player
Has Russel ever played on any team that has won anything? Even a team that's won 30 games? There's a bit of emptiness to that as well.
you must not follow basketball that much

zimpy27 wrote:Protection aside, Minny has a good chance of putting together a decent team next year. Wouldn't be surprised if they make the playoffs.
They have DLo, Beasley, Okogie, Culver, Layman, Juancho, KAT, Dieng.
They can open up a max slot in the off-season.

Nope just gapped, and BRK hasn't relevant for so long it's easy to forget.

ironic coming from a fan of the most irrelevant NBA champion ever
when Fun Guy left he took all the relevancy with him
does Drake even attend games anymore ?

Because DLo and Wiggins are both awful contracts that the teams wanted to move off

But you must agree that he is a better potential fit than Russell. I like Curry/Klay/Wiggins a lot better than Curry/Russell/Klay.
