what is the fascination for dumping a very productive player for yet another draft pick? I don't get it. no one at #7 is close to guaranteed to be as good as AB is right now no matter how long their career is nor should this team (or people following this team) be banking on a rookie coming in an playing major minutes (never mind starting) and producing at a high level when on the court.
just boggles my mind.
if you're that concerned about trading AB because you're worried about paying him on his next deal, I get that but the point of trading a player of AB's caliber is to either get a better player than AB (sending AB out as part of a package) or to get future assets that free up cap space this year to ensure being able to offer a max contract while still retaining some of our current players who are FAs this offseason. Trading AB for yet another pick this year does not accomplish any of that.
The point is what if this is the best deal in the table for Bradley. You get a cost controlled high upside player for four years who happens to be a big Man.
I'd love to trade Crowder instead but funny think Minny has any interest in him.
Minnesota is the most disappointing team in the league to me every year. They don't need another rookie. Best young Bug man in the game Town's, Andrew Wiggins, Lavine, Dunn, Rubio, Shabazz, Dieing.
And they stink? They need Leaders bad. They make Avery a Happy man and pay him ft I've years 100 million plus and he takes that team to the next Level no question about it
