    Hmm...interesting. Obviously would have to wait until after July due to Wiggins' PPP. Meaning Cleveland would have to pick for us at 8 in anticipation of such a deal.

    I'm not really down with just a straight CJ for Wiggins swap, but CJ/24 for Wiggins/8 has merit.

    Sounds like Neil has options to restructure the roster... if no major deals happen it’s because Neil said no and his ego will not let him admit his mistakes

    Get enough filler involved, and it actually is possible before the draft.

    Imagine if Porter falls to 8 or Mikal Bridges is there at 8 in that scenario. We HAVE to do it.

    We could roll out a starting 5 of:

    Dame
    Wiggins
    Porter
    Collins
    Nurk

    Is Wiggins really capable of playing the 2? I've never really gotten the impression that he has a guard's skillset (although I have admittedly not watched much of him).

    I think he is more naturally a 2 than a 3.

    Thing is, I don't see Minny being all that interested in reversing the Love/Wiggins trade. You think Butler/Love/KAT is an imposing big 3?

    I think it meshes better together.

    I think his most natural position is the 1, as in 1-dimensional chucker.

    Was it Wiggins that had some troubles in minny fitting in? If I remember correctly he was unhappy with his role and thought he should more than just the 3rd option.

    What's his new contract 145 mill? How does that fit?
