I think the face of Minnesota's franchise is Karl Anthony-Towns. He has the personality and the game that can represent a ballclub.
Kris Dunn could be another, with his aggressive oncourt style.
Andrew Wiggins? I think he's a bit too shy. Not enough moxie in his game. Doesn't look like he'll be the top dog on his team.
With their current record of 1 - 4, if they continue to play poorly, I wonder of Thibs will think about getting different players onto his team.
Would we be interested if it happens?

I think Thibs isnt one to pull the trigger too quickly. Wiggins has alot of talent and with a year of coaching under Thibs, you could see him get as aggressive as Jimmy Butler even. Thibs is inheriting a great roster so I think he'll take a year or two to get to know his players before he does anything. And lets not forget they also have Zach Lavine another promising player who is averaging nearly 18 PPG and 45% 3P shooting this season!

I'd be shocked if the wolves made any sudden moves this season. That team is so young that it's going to make a ton of mistakes, but the future is very bright. i doubt anyone from their core gets moved anytime soon.

Thibs, being a defensive minded guy, might appreciate a tough nosed defender like Jae Crowder, who can bust 3's as well.
Would he be someone Thibs would be open to trading Wiggins for? Of course, we'd have to add more to the pot, but so far Wiggins has not looked like the elite transcendent player he was supposed to be coming out of high school.

Wait why then would we bring Wiggins here? If he is a defensive liability then surely he would be an issue here too? |

Jae is a heck of a lot more physical than Wiggins, which could possibly intrigue Thibs.
We, on the other hand, need an upgrade in talent, and you could argue that Wiggins helps us in this area.
But of course, we have Jaylen, and he and Wiggins both are SF's primarily.

No thanks on the Jae for Wiggins trade. I'd keep Jae. He's more versatile, more tough, and a better defender. Wiggins for maybe one of the Brooklyn picks, especially next year's and maybe one of the guys down the bench. But not for Jae.

We scored 100+ points with 2 starters missing . Offense isn't the issue.. We need to get the defense tight.. And boards.. |

I'm reading that Willey Cauley-Stein isn't being used much by the Kings..predraft he was touted as a rebounder/rim protector. Might not hurt to roll the dice and trade for him. Wouldn't take much to grab him..
