MINNESOTA GETS
Damien Lillard and Josh Hart
Lillard paired with Ant and Towns makes them a bonafide contender to win the West… that is a 3 headed monster on offense that will be difficult to slow down.
the questions would be “are there now too many mouths to feed?/how are all those guys gonna get the touches they need?” and “defense?”
Hart adds perimeter defense along side Pat Bev and Vanderbilt, and if Ant to turn into the elite defender he claims to be… they could actually turn out to be pretty good defensively.
Lillard
Ant
Hart
Vanderbilt
Towns
Pat Bev
Malik Beasley
Naz Reid
this is a very solid rotation and I think it makes the Wolves a contender to come out of the West.
PORTLAND GETS
youth movement
McDaniels
Nowell
Okogie
DLo expiring
plus a stockpile of picks to add to their war chest.
there’s no clear blue chip here for Lillard but McDaniels projects as a plus NBA starter, Nowell a solid 6th man and who knows with Okogie…
see what you have with them. clear cap space with DLo. and scout the top of the lottery...
rebuild in full effect.
