OK, let me try to clarify.
 
Of course Westbrook, Durant, Harden, Ibaka was great, and the sum of that is greater this young Wolves core, but what I'm referring to with the Wolves is that they've assembled 8 quality young players in Towns, Wiggins, Lavine, Rubio (if you still consider him young), Dunn (if he pans out), Deing, Bjelica, Muhammed. These are all players who belong in today's NBA, at least 3 of which I think will be all-star players, with Towns as an already established superstar, Wiggins approaching that level, and Lavine (who I get to watch play regularly) who has that kind of potential if his development continues.The guy is not just a dunker. He's developed a great shot, can attack the basket, and can create his own shot. Zach Lavine has everything needed to become a star player, including the work ethic. He's often been heralded as the hardest worker on the Wolves team. 
 
I've never seen a team assemble so many quality young players. It's almost unprecedented to not flop on any of these guys (they didn't know that Wiggins would be the offensive threat he was when they traded for him).

D-Mo still hasn't signed with any team. He is still in touch with the Rockets and a couple other teams as well. The Rockets will have the opportunity to match. 
Dmo da goat

"he would have commanded". had that trade worked out, he would have taken all of the money we spent on three different players.

I'd say Leuer is only slightly worst than a fully healthy DMo

No doubt. He takes the smaller pfs to town in the post and takes the slower pfs to the three point line. Very versatile. Dude has nice skills for a 7 footer.
