    Hell no.

    What an overrated team. They have two above average NBA players and an awful bench.

    Crawford is an efficient chucker that can't defend. Muhammed is the same. Dieng is their only solid piece off the bench.

    Teague will get lit up in the Western Conference. He's an average starting PG at best. Wiggins is the most overrated player in the league, and I've been saying this for a while now. Taj Gibson is nothing special at PF. I think Nurkic is near Towns level.

    Does their stink and elevated sense of entitlement come with the team as well?

    That team is one less Nurk than I need it to be to switch. There's also this fella who 1stNBA player to wear a letter instead of a number. He's better than everyone on that team.

    I'm like Dame. I would go to war with my guys. Minnesota definitely improved this off season. No doubt. I like our guys though. I don't have any scientific basis for this, I just like our guys better. I get a sense that Jimmy Butler is kind of a prick and hard to play with. I've heard rumblings from past teammates about this. Now that he has been traded he is going to go into alpha mode and I could see him butting heads with KAT, Wiggins, and Teague. I also suspect that 3 point shooting is going to be a weakness for them as well.
    I suspect they finish right around .500 , which is definitely a huge improvement for them. I see them fighting for the 8th seed with Denver, Utah, and Memphis.

    I'd do it if after the teams switched players they would also switch team names and locations. Then I'd root for the Portland Trailblazers with Dame and CJ and Nurk.

    That's kind of forward of you.

    I mean, i'll think about it. But i'll have to see a picture of your wife first before any commitments are made.

    Possibly. Only because I believe KAT is the best player on either team and I would gut the wolves except for him and build a better team around him.

    Nope. I wouldn't swap our players with Golden State's either.

    I wouldn't trade our entire roster for any other team's entire roster. It wouldn't feel right.

    Your principles are what we should all shoot for. We have players who want to be here and tirelessly recruiting others to join in instead of jumping ship ( minus LMA ). I was just bored and looking over fences but it doesn't get any greener than in Portland.
