NBA: ***Official NBA Draft and Offseason Thread***

Kyrie is 25. Your not going to get him for a box of scrubs... if they can trade Wiggins for Kyrie you do so in a heartbeat.
Is he worth the max contract he's about to get? A lot of the advanced metrics have a pretty unfavorable view of Wiggins game, basically a volume scorer who adds little else. The young excuse starts to go away once you get off a rookie deal and onto a max deal too.
The super max deals are what is shaking up the league, lots of teams are trading players before they have that option because they dont think the players are worth it to their teams. Who in their right mind would give Boogie 40 million yet he may force the Pelicans hand next summer. Just like Wiggins to a lesser extent, you sign him to a close to 30 million contract and your team is never going to be great because he's just a scorer and does nothing else above average.
Wiggins is the fourth player age 22 or younger in NBA history to score at least 40 points in back-to-back games, joining LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Allen Iverson.
I love how the Timberwolves have been in the gutter for the past decade+ and we go from not even talking about the playoffs to which all-star is more worth the money to have in Minnesota. This is fun, I'm having fun.
Thibs made it sound like they have a few guys they want to add but are still waiting on decisions from them as well.
Agreed, I don't like it, but it's not something I was expecting to see on Twitter today
