Summary

Let's take stock of the Andrew Wiggins-D'Angelo Russell trade and regrade it one year after it came together. On today's pod, we go into the details of that deal, including: the draft pick compensation; Wiggins' fit in Golden State; DLo's fit in Minnesota; the Omari Spellman and Jacob Evans luxury tax wrinkle. What was the overall cost to swap out Wiggins for Russell. We also get into a few observations from the loss in Golden State, including: how both Anthony Edwards and James Wiseman are now both coming off of the bench; the impact on the Wolves' offense of not having Rubio being an at-rim scorer; why Jordan McLaughlin might not be the Timberwolves' best point guard but why he fits the Timberwolves system best.

0:55.3	And tonight was round one of Andrew Wiggins versus the Minnesota Timberwolves.
0:58.2	It wasn't exactly a heavyweight billing.
1:03.3	Golden State was coming off of losing back-to-back blowouts against the Knicks and the Jazz.
1:07.0	And the Timberwolves had gotten blown out in about half of their games this season.
1:13.4	So even without DeAngelo Russell, who was out with a bruised quad tonight, this was a game the wolves could compete in. But the result was another blowout, Warriors 130, Wolves
1:20.0	108. I feel like this matchup, this Warriors Wolves matchup, is more about their history, though,
1:28.1	and that obviously dates back to when the wolves selected both Ricky Rubio and Johnny Flynn
1:33.3	over Steph Curry back in the day. That's not super relevant to the recent history,
1:39.4	as that's more of a David Kahn story that's kind of already been chalked up as an L for the wolves.
1:45.3	Their more recent history, though, is in the Gerson Roses era.
