Hope russell gets his ass to the wolves

If he were to re-sign in minnesota, am i crazy in thinking trading wiggins for him wouldnt be so bad...
Honestly I don't like the fit and if it were up to me I'm not pulling the trigger on that deal.  A lot of that goes with what I believe Wiggins will become especially now that there is a legitimate coach in Minnesota and the fact that although I think the Wolves make the playoffs this upcoming year I still believe they're atleast 2 years out on actually being contenders.  This could all change depending upon KAT/Wiggins/Lavine/Rubio/Dunn and even Dieng's development.  It's also a good portion of the reason I'm glad that we didn't go crazy with our money in FA this year, just sit back this year and lets see exactly what Thibs can do with this team and where we actually need help.  Hell even Bjelica(former Euro League MVP) could significantly improve his play since now he'll have a years experience playing in the League under his belt.  
 
TLDR: Basically just sit back and watch it unfold

The Wolves have assembled the most impressive young core that I think I've ever seen. So many good young players. 4 potential star players (if you think Dunn has that kind of potential) and at least 4 starting quality players, otherwise. The tricky part will be figuring out who to keep and who to let walk.

Weve clearly just recently seen the thunder have 3 top 10 players on one team

Nah, I'm still confused.
 
Is Steven Adams a top 10 player now?

Hard to compare one core that we've seen develop to one we haven't, but right now you'd have to think OKC's core was better, and if you power ranked all the young players, they'd have 3 of the top 4

The Wolves should win 6 titles in a row starting next year. It is the best young core ever, after all

I assumed you were talking about the most recent Thunder team.

If we play around, lets say

Russ > dunn no matter how long we wait for dunn to develop, even tho i love his game

Harden > lavine . Truly doubt lavine would put up 28/8/6 on the rockets

Durant > wiggins. Yea wiggins will be sweet but KD is Kd

Towns > ibaka . No explanation needed

Worst case scenario they have 3 of the top 4. Towns is the only wolves player IMO that has a chance to break that top 3 of Russ KD and Harden
