Lavine(Would've got $100 million contract)/Towns/Wiggins would've got maxed out on the Wolves because of the Owner
Which means their money is already spent for the next 5 yrs
They wasn't gone draft Lauri..DSJ was who they was looking at but they already had 2 prospects at PG....Dunn/Jones
The Owner wanted to sell tickets & make the playoffs(After 14yrs of not making money)... Lavine/Towns/Wiggins ain't getting u to the offs...3 Max players that ain't getting u no where
2016-17 was suppose to be a winning season
Lavine gets a ACL injury & their back into the lottery
Thats when Jimmy came into the picture & Thibs said fuk it
Got Veterans who could mold the youngins into his culture
Jimmy was suppose to make money & go to the playoffs... Thats what the trade was for...
The only nikkas who was hyping this move up was Wolves Fans & Internet nikkas who thought Wiggins is the next Kobe...Talking about Rings
Jimmy did what he suppose to do.They ain't ready
Also Contrary to what nikkas say they still got a young core..Okogie/KDP/KAT/Wiggins/Jones/Patton(Was drafted with 0 injuries, then magically started to breakdown)
All the Vets have cheap 1 yr contracts that ends in summer. Rose/Deng/Jimmy/Taj/Tolliver/Nunnally
Jeff/Dieng the only 2 nikkas who gone be there next yr
They can trade Jimmy & pair him with 1 those those contracts or
Trade Jimmy to the Lakers for Kuzma/Mo Wagner & have the same team before the trade
Package Mo Wagner as the new K. Love/Lauri to those Cac Sota fans....They'll eat it up
Kuzma look like Lavine, mfs wouldn't notice a difference
Okogie is Dunn at the SG position
EveryThang is pretty much the same after that
