How did everyone enjoy today’s finals preview?

No, Rox can't go to the Finals with Jalen Green coming back. Management should John Wall him.

While I'm happy for the fans that they're winning, as terrible basketball is never fun to watch/follow (I'd know, as a Wolves fan) I don't think it's a good thing.

It'd be one thing if it were the rooks leading the charge, but winning games on the backs of Gordon and Augustin? There isn't much point there...though they're probably improving their trade value so I guess there's that.

Sengun and KJ both contributed to the big run in the 4th. also Josh had good mins. So I think its all good.

Gordon can get you some assets now, there are good teams there who could definitely use him.

True. His salary might make it tough though. Not a ton of good teams with 20mil lying around that they're not using.

Yes, looking at it now and it's not that easy.
Almost every team could use him, but very few have contracts and assets for it.
Dallas could try to build something around Powell
Phoenix around Saric and Smith (but it wouldn't be their priority)
Overall I suspect the best would be the Clippers for Bledsoe + a (very in the) future 1st round pick

I mean, I'd honestly take him on the Wolves especially if they move Beasley in some other deal. But I wouldn't be comfortable giving up a 1st for him, so we'd probably get outbid.
