Grantland: What about Wiggins and the Wolves?

http://grantland.com...and-the-wolves/

 

Pretty much sums up my earlier thought on what may be the best situation for Wiggins' development as a potential star. The Wolves might be a nice sleeper team for everyone's League Pass lineup.

[BSLMikeLowe]

So now it looks like the Wolves will get Young AND Bennett. Minnesota will send Alexey Shved, Luc Mbah a Moute, and Miami's 1st Round pick in 2015 they're getting from Cleveland to the Sixers. Kudos to Flip Saunders for getting what he did out of this....and as for Philly, I know they had to move Young or lose him, but I think they undersold. They got nothing of value for a productive player.

Cleveland gets: Kevin Love from Minnesota

76ers get: Mbah A Moute, Alexey Shved and a future first-round pick (likely Miami's 2015 first-rounder via Cleveland)

Minnesota gets: Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and Thaddeus Young

 

Via Espn. That's great value for Minnesota. Don't know why Cleveland would trade so much. He isn't worth all of that.

[Dupin]

I disagree. For the rest of Lebron's prime, Love is giving that team more. In a long term sense you may be right, but if Cleveland wins a championship who cares?

That was an interesting read.

Flip: He made a shot out of the corner against Sacramento in Game 7 [of the conference semifinals], and he did his little Big Balls dance, and from that, he created a little avulsion fracture in his hip. No question, I think about that dance all the time.

Anthony Bennett, Greg Oden, Kwame Brown....who is the biggest #1 overall bust of the 21st century so far?

[Pedro Cerrano]

Bennett.

I alluded in the general thread, but if the improved shooting he showed the other night is really improvement and not just a small sample size vs a poor defensive team, then Minnesota could become something special in the next couple years. Among non-playoff teams, they'd be #1 on my League Pass list.

If drama and mayhem is your thing, the Kings might be the cream of the crop among the entire league. I kind of like following teams on the rise, and the Wolves are my buy-low team right now. And it's even kind of fun to see guys like Garnett, Miller and Prince tutoring their young players.

Seems like this is the job the big names want the most.

Some real talent up there.
