Since the Timberwolves traded for his good brother Russell in order to satisfy the wishes of the leading star Towns last season, their desire to go further in the new season is self-evident.
This year they have the No. 1 pick, which players they will choose has become the focus of many media.
However, as we all know, this year is not a draft year in the traditional sense. If you only rely on drafting players, you may not have much immediate combat power to help the team immediately improve.
In the west of the strong like Lin, the current configuration of the Timberwolves is definitely not dominant, so signings/reinforcing is essential.
Today, Timberwolves reporter Darren Wolfson talked about the team’s trading rumors that they intend to trade Magic forward Aaron Gordon.
Currently, Gordon and Magic have two years left on the contract, and the two-quarter salary is 18.14 million US dollars and 16.41 million US dollars. Last season, he averaged 14.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. He missed the first round of the playoffs with the Bucks due to injury. Z1z
US media reporter GRANT HUGHES proposed a reference trading plan. The Timberwolves sent James Johnson + this year's first round of the 17th pick, and even added the first round of exchange rights in 2022 in exchange for Gordon.
As the representative of the "fauvism" power forward after Griffin, Gordon's athletic ability is very good, the rebounding awareness is among the top players, and the body is strong enough to defend from one to five. Although the outside world criticized him for his slow progress, his three-point ability really grew out of nothing. Based on this, he is very worth training.
By the side of Towns and Russell, Gordon can eat more "pie", or rely on his own ability to complete the second attack. At the same time, Gordon can use their three-pointers to attack the basket or shoot more.
is not black, they are worth looking forward to!
For the Timberwolves, this deal is profitable. They have three draft picks this year (the 1, 17, and 33 picks), and they made a first-round pick in order to reinforce them.
For the Magic, they can get a first-round pick this year and a draft pick that may be valuable in the future. More importantly, the Magic has gradually put the focus of training on Vucevic, and it is reasonable to let Gordon go.
is now more worried about the Timberwolves. They do need a 4th position that can attack the frame, but the inside barrier composed of Tangs and Gordon is not afraid of being stabbed by the opponent?
