3 mediocre guys don’t create interest for me, no


Honestly, I know they are sellers, but if Bulls somehow got Ayton for Vuc .. I think they'd lock up the play in.

Vuc is better than Ayton.

That's the most Bulls like move of all... awful, but definitely Bulls-type move.

Gobert certainly retired by then
Ant not a lock to stick around if things don't turn around

Not a whole lot of other upside on that team.

In terms of a trade asset for a rebuilding team, that seems like a pretty decent upside pick? More than I initially gave it credit for.

I mwan look at the league. Ant will certainly be in Brooklyn or Miami by then right?


no upside? Tim Connelly has stacked the roster with promising young players.

The Wolves core going forward:

Ant (23) obviously TONS of upside.
Naz Reid (25) will start once Randle is traded.
McDaniels (24) starting SF
Dillingham (20) a rookie & likely future starting PG.
TSJ (24) a rookie and will get minutes if/when NAW is moved.
DDV (28)
Clark (23) looks good, especially on D.
Miller (20) promising PF
NAW (26) has really improved his shooting this year.

PG Dilly/Clark
SG Ant/DDV
SF Jaden/NAW/TSJ
PF Naz/Miller

As of today, that is the core.


There are 3 older rotation guys.

Randle (30) is almost certainly getting traded.
Rudy (32) could be moved after the season.
Conley (37) has one more year as a back up.
