The precedent was set when they let Lowry wear 7 immediately after Dragic was dealt, seems if you're a vet with some stature they wont force you into a new number

Wiggins is a quality 2-way player and he’ll fit in just fine but I don’t see him appreciably better than what Caleb Martin was for the team.

Mitchell plays great D and not so great O.

Might be sparingly useful but when he’s bricking 3s on a regular basis, I suspect he’ll fall out of favor.


Mitchell and Anderson aren’t necessarily high IQ, but they’re passable, which is a little better than most of our guards
Long Live Winnie. Mamba siempre

Davion Mitchell is 99.7% in perimeter iso defense. Lmfao.

I don't see an issue with 22 for Wiggins even if Jimmy left on good terms, its not like the number is retired yet.

Considering Terry gives us nothing on offense and has basically been a net negative, just give him all of Terry's minutes.

Anyone remember him being a #1 pick, or close to it anyways? He was the guy who got Kevin Love to Cleveland unless my memory is off. Interesting to see him settle into being kind of a role player and still have a nice career, usually with #1 picks its star or bust.

Knowing those details would help color my opinion of the FO’s performance during this trade deadline.

As of now, I’d probably give them a D

If it comes out that KD could have been gotten for a package of players n picks minus Bam, Herro and Ware, I’d probably drop the grade down to an F


Id give us a B plus.

Jimmy killed his value. Killed it.

Wiggins and Davion fit what we do.

And we got a potential lotto pick, this coming draft.

Pretty happy.


Getting another pick was the highlight of the day but I have no idea what their vision is.

Care to try and make sense of it?

Scary turning it around recently. Might be a swing in momentum for him.

Davion is crazy good on D. Id feed him the minutes that were going to Dru.

They grabbed 2 incredible defenders. Might be our 2nd and 3rd best defenders right now.

We are super thin at point, so Davion makes sense. Hes Drus replacement. Hope he gets comfy with the offensive space he will be given and can shoot a good percentage.

Wiggins is a two way starter who many wouldnt have traded str8 up for Jimmy. He was spoken of this year as GSWs most consistent player. He replaces Butler and should be available to play RS games.

Id liked it a bit better if that pick had more lenient protection.

Other than that, Im happy.
