I don't know, I think the Wolves made a good move for the franchise. We weren't keeping Lavine/Wiggins/Towns together and it was inevitable one of them would have to go and LaVine was the "easiest" of the three to trade. But winning is important and players around the league need to see the Timberwolves making a concerted effort to win because we aren't getting any top tier Free Agents to sign here but we still have to be attractive to the mid-level players. I think there will be real discussion on moving Wiggins this summer or next year and keeping Jimmy. I would prefer that because I don't see enough in Wiggins to make me believe he's gonna push himself or his teammates to be better while Jimmy has clearly done that.
There's no way you can sit back and wait and assume your team is going to run the league because other teams fall off. Teams are improving themselves every year, players are teaming up more so it's not like the Sixers are guaranteed to be the best team in the East in 3 years, the Wolves couldn't count on the Warriors falling off and none of the other teams leveling up. LaVine/Wiggins/Towns had not shown enough together to assume they would all of a sudden become great defenders and a winning team. The only criticism I have of the trade is the Wolves traded the wrong guy
