Good trade for both teams. Wiggins feels like a better fit for the Warriors alongside Steph and Klay. I have a feeling he's going to blossom now. Not sure exactly what Minny's plan is.

Initial gut reaction is not good on this one. Expected a MUCH better set of assets for DLo. However, I anticipate Wiggins to be decent if not actually great with us. The contract is gnarly though for what could become new Harrison Barnes. I bet we keep our high pick now and ride it out next year.

Warriors have to have something else in mind... Is Green heading out in some other deal?

Not enough assets. The Suns should have got DLO if they wanted to reunite the 3.

Oubre , Kaminsky , and 1st 2020 top 3 protected for DLO
Ayton, 2021 1st for KAT

SUNS have the assets to make it happen, but didnt

Wolves FO should really explain why they traded Covington in the first place. Towns/Covington/Russel was legit.

Looks like they really wanted the pick(s). Wiggins doesn’t fit well at all on a healthy Warriors team, so I truly expect him to be moved eventually.

Toronto boy moving from Minny to the Bay

That's exactly how Wiggins is feeling right now.
All the haters better keep that same energy when he turns into a star in Golden State.

And with that, the warriors have now closed Steph's window. Imagine a franchise trying to lump this on Lebron.

Honestly they just need Wiggins to play like the Black Falcon the next 3 years which isn't a very high bar. With that said they are on the hook for alot of $ and outside of draft picks will have limited flexibility to improve their squad the next few years due to their salary situation.

i'm thinking Wiggins "breaks out" with the Warriors.

he needs guidance and mentorship to improve that drive. I think Dray Klay and Curry can do it for him. it will be a steal if put up the numbers in terms of efficiency when he started the season with.

Amazed that people think D'angelo Russell is a positive asset - he literally had a minus 48 rating yesterday. Isn't he the equivalent of Marco Bellineli on defense?

At least Wiggins could play D - and hasn't been terrible on D this year - although, I don't know the whole story here.
