5 players + 4 first-round picks. With such chips, I believe that all superstars in the league (except not for sale) can be traded. Today, according to the famous WOJ report, sources informed that , the Timberwolves, and were sent away in this transaction. Beasley, Beverley, Kessler (22nd pick in this year’s first round), Vanderbilt and multiple first-rounders, Timberwolves player Leandro Bormaro is also in this deal Sent to Jazz in trade.
In this trade plan, Beverley averaged 11 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game in the playoffs; Beasley averaged 8.5 points and 3.3 rebounds; Vanderbilt averaged 5.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game; and Counting the No. 22 pick in this year's first round, although the players sent by the Timberwolves do not include stars, they at least include 3D, forward, and inside players. Moreover, among the four first-round picks sent by the Timberwolves, none were awarded in 23, 25, and 27 years. Protection (that is, all the No. 1 picks belong to the Jazz), it was only top five protection in 29 years.
To be honest, this kind of trading plan can replace all the superstars that can be traded in the entire league. Even the Nets' Durant will inevitably be sent to the trading table by the Nets . Moreover, Durant+ The inside configuration of Towns is obviously more reasonable than Towns + Gobert. Although Gobert has top defense and Towns has excellent three-point shooting ability, to be honest, Gobert and Towns have poor mobility. The inside configuration is completely "giving away" against the small ball lineup.
But if Durant is traded, the Timberwolves' team configuration will be quite terrifying. Point guard Russell , shooting guard Edwards, small forward Durant, and interior lineman Towns, as long as one is traded A strong inside player with above-average mobility and defensive ability, then the Timberwolves are completely standard equipment for a championship lineup. Moreover, Durant is currently under contract and has no trade veto rights or player options. He has no choice at all. Choose your next home.
But this is so surprising. The Timberwolves used the bargaining chip to trade for Durant, and finally traded with the Jazz to get Gobert. After such a trade was born, although the Timberwolves' roster still looks good, people with a discerning eye As we all know, the Timberwolves have become the biggest joke this summer. It seems that sometimes having chips and determination to compete for the championship is not enough. The most critical thing is the management's operational ability. Of course, the new season has not yet started, and it is just that. It's on paper, but what do you think of this deal?
