Woj: DLo to Minny for Wiggins

[Johnny Bball]

you must not follow basketball that much

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 ?

[OrangeBlueSkies]

Knicks miss out on a competent guard again. Effin shame.

What could we have offered though that would interest GSW?

Mitchell Robinson and a first rounder (plus filler like Portis, Payton, etc.). That was probably discussed but I guess Minnesota decided it wasn't worth it. Other than that yeah, not much. As a Warriors fan, I would have far preferred that.

The Knicks decided it wasn't worth it? Is that what you meant? Because I wouldn't give up Mitch Rob and a first for DLO.

Bad trade for GSW . Great trade for Wolves. They finally got Towns little bestie to come along. But why in the world would Warriors take on Wiggins and his contract? They should of just went after Covington and a pick instead. Wow this makes no sense.

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.

Wiggins has the 3rd worst contract in the NBA and DAR is more valuable than anyone in this draft. Warriors got raped in this trade. They should have at least got one first rounder for Russell and another for taking on Wiggins.

DeAngelo Russell has the 4th worst contract. He plays worse defense than Wiggins.

Highway robbery for Minnesota. Fans should celebrate.

[LibertyPrime]

First of all, any Golden State fans, feel free to skip the spoiler below:

Spoiler:

:lol:

Thank you. Back to your regularly scheduled noise.

I'm dying to know what happened here. How did they go from signing him 6 months ago to trading him for Andrew Wiggins and a pick?

They never really wanted him; they just wanted some kind of return for KD going to Brooklyn.

[Dupp]

Warriors basically gave up on trying to build a contender anytime in the next few years. Weird move.

[hongdayuan]

i'm actually intrigued to watch steph come back this year playing with wiggins and green. just to see what kinna potential is there.

[LibertyPrime]

All the trade does for minny is replace one hyped wing for another, they'll still suck. And what will gsw do with Wiggins? Goodness

It might help them keep KAT for a while longer.

It addresses the lead guard position, for which we have been relying on the likes of Shabazz Napier and shooting guards Jarrett Culver and (hee, hee!) Andrew Wiggins.

[clyde21]

so, we ended up trading

Andre Iguodala
a 2024 unprotected 1st

for

Andrew Wiggins (a negative asset)
Top 3 protected 21 first

Bob Myers ladies and gentlemen

[reflex35]

While we are discussing this imagine how happy are both guys.

D-lo is already dreaming about late evening dinners with his BFF Kat.

And Andrew is clapping his hands and packing things to go to Cali. Good weather, nice city, still a lot of cash left to be paid...

Happy for both of them!

Me too. For different reasons.

[GreatWhiteStiff]

Warriors trade a big asset for a big negative asset!?

Wiggins is TOP5 player in category "most improved player" this season, but that is still not enough to be the "max worthy".

I'm not sure if you should be in consideration for "most improved" if you're having your third best season in terms of O-Rating and PER and you're still a young player who should be getting better anyways. Not really efficient either. Nor with significant defensive improvement.

[gorz]

Horrible trade for golden st. They are done. Should have kept Russell.

Devin booker to Minnesota coming soon.


My 0.02

[israelfirst]

i think a change of scenery and playing with guys like curry, klay, draymond will be beneficial to wiggins

[RUN T M C]

How many coaches has Wiggins had since he got to the league? 4-5?? Its pretty tough to establish yourself with a rotating staff and players.

I think a fresh start is exactly what he needed. An already established staff, with very vocal leaders as teammates. I mean, he came out of high school, and is still young enough to be a true threat for the Warriors.

I may eat my words in a few months, but right now, my thinking has been Wiggins has been their focus. Trying to squeeze another Draft pick and/or Covington was just an added bonus.

Add Wiggins to the list of players the Warriors have been able to resuscitate... Hopefully.

'change of scenery' trades almost never actually work out...usually turns out the dude just actually sucks

[dakomish23]

LoL (Lots Of Light-years)

I feel bad for the GSW fans, I await a Myers is a fraud thread.

Lots of light years

[clyde21]

Feel bad for clyde. Hang in there bud.

might as well ban me now Dirk let's cut to the chase

[JN61]

Warriors are light years ahead of the competition.

[MagicBagley18]

At least KAT can be happy losing now and delay the trade demand for at least 2 years
