And they overpayed in the process more than what other teams were going to give up to get him and bid against themselves essentially. They did the exact same thing with the DLo. Again I’m not criticizing the move because I was one of the few people on here defending Gobert when everyone was talking shyt about him out of bias.

PG went for 4 FRPs. Murray went to ATL for 4 FRPs. These are probably late round. if not then oh well.

We don't know if they're late rounders until the draft happens as one of those PG picks ended up becoming a lottery one with injuries to both Kawhi and PG or have we forgotten that already? As I will say again with the Gobert trade and the Murray one, the picks themselves aren't the problem but the unprotected portion is.

The whole basketball world know owners gonna put a foot on the shyt that’s going on out there.. Coli nikkas know it ,NBA media knows it ..it’s an open secret .They were just talking about how the shyt they doing gonna fukk it up for future stars on ESPN …but let’s say by some miracle the owners don’t do anything and Kat and Ant demands a trade some years from now ….the wolves could literally get major assets flr
Them in return .

99.99% of the NBA players are not going to pull a Kyrie or Simmons, so the owners could easily throw them a bigger bag and they'd say yes to whatever proposal they draw up to prevent that situation from happening again.

Should definitely do the latter. Mitchell is an undersized 2 that just happens to be a volume shooter that doesn't play defense. It'd be different if he was a Trae Young-type that combines world-class playmaking with his volume shooting, but as it stands, he's not moving the needle in a positive manner.

He should be able to command 3 first round picks.

Real shyt ..

the nikkas they traded away were former late first round picks ..Ain’t nobody crying about trading Leandro Bolmaro :dead: that’s the type of nikkas you will usually get in the 20s which is where these bum ass firsts gon be at .

Ppl love the idea of late first round picks without actually taking into account what them shyts turn into .
I don't think anybody really complaining about trading 1st rd picks away, its that the T-Wolves had all those 1st rd picks as ammunition and decided to unload it for Gobert
