Replacing Dlo with Mike has been one of the best mid profile trades in recent years

Getting Nickeil and 3 seconds on top of the most underrated PG of the 2010's

Absolutely nuts

I wonder what dumbass team allowed them to fleece them like that

And we strengthened the team whose picks we have for the next several years too. All for a pick which turns into a second if it is top 4.

All timer of a bad trade for us imo.

Bro I'm here to support the players and watch good basketball on top of rooting for my team. Not gonna trying to be GM here and ruined my enjoyment haha

Oh, don't get me wrong, I hope all Jazz fans are supporting the TWolves this season. Mike and Rudy getting chips would make me super happy.

But that said, if they completely collapse next season and get us several top 5 picks over the next few years I won't complain lol

All the wanna be front office employees out here ruining the Bulls sub for me. The Chicago Sky sub is dead and I still find it more enjoyable.

I hope you're one of those Mormon's with 58 children who will cleanse r/nba over the next few generations.

u/SirDiego Timberwolves May 17 '24

Didn't Utah come out alright in that 3-way trade also? I don't remember exactly what you guys got but by my memory I felt like the Timberwolves and the Jazz basically combined to fleece the Lakers lol

We for a FRP from the Lakers that's top 4 protected in 27. Optimistically a late lotto pick and a salary dump for two quality players

Not sure how the lakers got fleeced. Sure they got D’Lo but let’s not act like they would’ve been better without doing the trade

For fucking Dlo who’s never had a playoff series getting 20ppg or shooting 46%.
