Discuss. I’m not so sure dangling a package centered around Amen, young rotation players, and a few firsts, wouldn’t have them picking up the phones.
Kevin Durant dogged the series, Ant made the impossible return and had banged up legs..... You tell me! He is also currently the Number 4 or Number 5 Player in the League.
He’s untouchable, Minnesomalia ain’t listening but you’re right, I’m making the call and offering the farm. Amen, Jabari, Reed, all the picks, everything. (They don’t want or need Sengun but if they do, him too.)
If Ant does get traded in a couple of years, he won't need a no-trade clause to block teams that can't put good players around him. The T-Wolves franchise would slide instantly into oblivion without him.
I doubt he's going to be in Minnesota much longer...their Roster is kind of locked as is tbh. He's likely going to get frustrated and team up with someone else somewhere else, just a matter of time.
He’s definitely untouchable, but why would he want to stay in Minnesota? I’d trade everyone on the rockets for him, including amen which I would be sad to see him go. With that being said, they’re probably moving to the eastern conference, so he’ll have an easier road to the finals.
In an era where the elite teams are young, the teams stuck in the middle will definitely reconsider their position if they aren’t gaining ground.
going from Ant to Amen is such a downgrade, the entire fanbase would revolt You think the George Floyd protests got bad at times? Just you wait
Yeah but it obviously wouldn’t be Ant for Amen straight up. You’re including other young prospects and picks. He’s been in Minnesota for a long time, even though he’s still young, he’s played with other all-stars. No championships. Spurs and OKC are road blocks.
What other young prospects? The Rockets young core is nothing special Reed? Jabari? Those are just throw-ins IMO the picks will be non-lottery if I’m trading Ant, it’s for picks on the level of top 2 in this draft (so basically premium picks) or a young player so good that they’re actually worth a max extension
I guess he's technically not untouchable because they would trade him for Wemby. But, the question is more whether he wants to stay in Minny or not. It's honestly hard for me to see anyone other than a healthy OKC or SAS winning a chip in the near term. Maybe if a true superstar like Ant/Luka forces his way to another good team like the Celtics or something.
