It's a solid look and I'm sure it will lead to wins. But I'm personally big on LaVine.
They needed to decide between Wiggins and LaVine going forward tho, because Wiggins plays his best ball at the 2. Since LaVine plays the same position, has question marks over his health post-ACL tear, and has a lower ceiling, it only makes sense to use him as a stepping stone to get a certified, elite 3.
I felt they gave up on Dunn after just one year.
Truth be told, Dunn was highly disappointing and rarely did he show glimpses of his potential, and one would've expected him to be a lot better considering his age/experience. Perhaps he will get better as he gets adjusted to the league, but you can't fault the T'Wolves for moving on from him, especially for a player that makes them unquestionably better.

Minny can't keep running in the same spot hoping players will develop.
and to me they should have been trying their best to acquire Isaac in this draft which is a good fit for them at either forward spot.
I fukks with Isaac and he's got a ton of defensive potential, but the T'Wolves clearly need to address their defensive issues right now - Isaac doesn't do that for them. Whereas a player like Butler can come in and shift their mindset and start fracturing their bad habits on defense right away.
