    Not saying you're wrong on anything here, and like i said i like him too, but if he was so good he would've played more than 25 minutes per game right? Regardless, there were way more expectations on him, and after 3 (point taken) seasons i don't see a player that got much better, certainly not as much as i expected. Being young doesn't necessarily mean that much, a lot of players "are young" for years but they don't end up being as good as expected, if you trade for Winslow as today you trade for what he is now, not for what he can eventually become.

    Butler is not as good a defender as Tucker. Minnesota had a trash defense last year. I understand what you're saying and usually I'd agree, but against GS far and away the most important thing is defense for us when we have Harden CP3 Gordon and Melo holding it down on offense. If Butler can guard Draymond or KD like Tucker can, then maybe. But I haven't seen anything from him to support that.

    You should win an Oscar for that portrayal of BBH. I forgot for a minute that you are topfive. How did you do that!?

    Butler was 2nd Team All-Defense last year

    guys shot 1.8% lower than their season average when guarded by him, and he’s guarding stars/the best scorer on the opposing team every night

    also, the Wolves had an above average defense when he was on the court, it was worst in the league when he was off

    At this rate Minnesota might not trade him by the 31st. It would benefit us if that’s the case, but I doubt he isn’t traded by the start of the season.

    Capela is regarded as a top 5 center on here but he only played 27 min last year btw. Justise was a 10th overall pick. He's turned out better than basically every player chosen ahead of him besides KAT and KP. He's visibly shown improvement since being drafted. He's shown he could be a productive player when he's healthy and gets minutes. A guy that can defend 4/5 positions, handle the rock and developing a reliable shot is somehow capped out on his potential at 22? And you think Brogdon, who was one of the worst guards in the league last year is better? lmfaooo

    On that Wolfson podcast earlier he said to not expect a trade until the Wolves get back from their road trip. That is the most likely time for the trade.

    If it goes past that, anything could happen tbh.

    Capela had a problem with stamina though.

    Look, it might be laughable that i said that Brogdon did better than Winslow so far, but saying that Brogdon was one of the worst guards in the league is even more laughable, for me at least ;) and don't put in my mouth words i didn't said, please, i never said Winslow has peaked already, i just said there's no guarantee he'll get better, thanks.

    For guards that played as many minutes as Brogdon, he was among the worst in RPM. His defense was especially bad. Also your claim that a team trading for a 22 year old to only contribute now and not for the future is stupid.

    To be fair, Brogdon had injuries that were affecting his play from what I understand. Not arguing one way or another.

    Sidenote: Damn, I did not know Winslow was only 22.

    Good point. In that case the same should apply to Justise.
