No set rumor, just throwing it out there... But makes sense for both teams...
Min needs a true playmaking pg (Ball).. Celtics would get that young scoring threat

Wiggins is slowly rising as a star, still only 22 and averaged over 23ppg last season...

Not a fan of this trade. And why would they take Ball? Wouldn't they rather get Fultz who is a playmaker AND a scorer?

As a side note though, if we could somehow land Wiggins (like for Crowder and Bradley), I would be down for this. Especially if Minny wants some quality vets to stabilize the team and really build around KAT and Lavine.

Right now Wiggins is light years above Brown... as much as I like Brown but he is still a project

No.



Celtics would want more and the Wolves would think it was too much.

Would rather have Fultz. Wiggins is one-dimensional and takes too many bad shots.

Pass.   

Fultz can score also plus wouldn't you rather have him cost controlled for the foreseeable future rather than having one year of Wiggins before he's RFA and dealing with that down the road on top of all the other decisions the Celtics will be forced to make soon?

Wiggins played a lot of minutes last year, actually. And he scored a lot. But some of that is because Towns is amazing, and anyone playing with him is going to be freed up to score.

My issue with him, if you watch him play, is that he always looks like he just woke up from a nap. His uniform looks like pajamas on him. His hair is in disarray and - more substantively - he doesn't run back on defence. Sometimes, he doesn't run on offence. Just standing around, waiting to receive the ball. ...I went to that C's game against Minnesota, and they were helping off him all the time. He just didn't cut!

Bradley's numbers aren't as gaudy, but he moves without the ball, plays great D, and seems like he has been awake for more than 20 minutes when he plays.

I'm hearing that Fultz has a high motor. So although I like the idea in theory, I think we could do better.

Not the biggest fan of Wiggins.  Volume shooter who doesn't provide much else.  Doesn't make his teammates better, and he hasn't developed as a defender despite having great tools for that end of the court. 

Definitely rather have Fultz.  KAT, on the other hand, would be one of the few players for whom I'd surrender the #1 (and then some), but I already know the answer to that proposal.

No, and I'd take a lot of players over him including any of the top 10-12 prospects in this draft and Jaylen Brown, who seems to have a clue.

High usage scorer who’s efficiency is average and a defensive turnstile who doesn’t rebound. Type of guy you want coming off the bench playing against scrubs.

No. It doesn't make sense for us. Maybe if he was KAT or even a PF...

Fultz is a better prospect than Wiggins and has more years of control. Not happening.

Wiggins can score, but he doesn't provide any value outside of that. I think I'd rather have Fultz, Ball, Tatum or Jackson than Wiggins.
