It was originally considered a huge loss in the deal, but now it makes a big profit! It saves 40 million, Timberwolves GM has a unique vision

There are many seemingly profitable transactions in the NBA, but they end up falling into losses. Such problems occur almost every season. Trading does not necessarily mean success. Take this season for example. The Pelicans traded Daniels, Nance Jr. and two first-round picks to exchange for All-Star Murray. At that time, Daniels was still a parallel product who did not realize his talent. Who would have thought that he became the league's steal king this season and won the fastest-progress player in the league. On the other hand, Murray made the Pelicans suffer from the season's reimbursement.

To talk about the two most popular deals this season, I think one is Doncic and Davis swap the boss, and the other is Randall and Towns swap the boss. As for Doncic's deal, it's hard to say who makes money and who loses it. After all, neither team has met expectations this season, and it's a mid-season trade. The team has not fully reacted. It seems that the Lakers have made money now, but it's hard to say in the future. It's possible that the Brow will help the Mavericks win the championship.

Randall and Towns swapped their bosses. This deal is a win-win situation now. In order to reduce expenses, the Timberwolves chose to trade the second leader of the team. Towns once said that he was willing to live for the Timberwolves, but they were traded. The Timberwolves were also helpless. They were in a small league market, and the team could not bear the pressure of high luxury taxes, so they could only trade Towns. In order to reduce luxury taxes, they also re-signed a contract with Gobert, causing Gobert to give up the big contract for the last year and re-sign a multi-year contract with a lower annual salary.

When they sent off Towns, they got the chips given by the Knicks for Devincenzo, Randall and the first round pick. At that time, I remember that some US media said that the Timberwolves were to get Devine, after all, they had always been interested in Devine. The total salary of these two people is 9 million less than that of Towns, and the team also saved nearly 40 million in luxury taxes. The Timberwolves also achieved their goal, but their actions made the outside world think that the Timberwolves have lost their competitiveness.

After all, Randall's style of play seems to be in conflict with Gobert, and Randall's franchise protection and space ability are not as good as Towns. Towns can be said to be one of the best second-in-commands in the active league. Everyone has seen Randall's performance during the Knicks. Although he was able to score in the All-Star in the regular season, he was overused in the playoffs and his performance was very inefficient. Randall's performance and team's record during the regular season this season are indeed not ideal.

It seems that the Timberwolves lost this deal, but everyone seems to have forgotten that it takes time to integrate any star to join a team. Randall is a player option contract in the next summer. For his next big contract, he will try to get better. After gradually adapting to the team's system, Randall played his value at the start of the game. He led the team to the playoffs at the end of the regular season, ranking sixth in the West.

In the first round of the playoffs, when the Timberwolves were not favored, Randall and Edwards led the gentleman to sweep the Lakers. When Gobert often sat on the bench because he was targeted, Randall supported the team's inside line. He not only performed well on the offensive end, but also performed very well on the defensive end. Randall won 20+ in 4 of the five games of the series against the Lakers. The team now leads the Warriors 3-1 with a big score. The news today is that the Warriors will not play in G5, which is good news for the Timberwolves.

In other words, the Timberwolves have a good chance of sweeping the Warriors in the next game, so they can reach the Western Conference Finals again. Last season, the team was just ranked in the Western Conference Finals. Randall has averaged 23.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6 assists and 0.9 steals per game so far in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 48.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 34.7%. He integrates well into the system. Gobert is on the court, so he is a space shooter. If Gobert leaves the field, he will hit the inside and his defense is still very tough.

This season, Randall is a bit like a version of the dream of strengthening offensive ability. His organizational ability is also excellent. Relying on his outstanding performance, Randall has also been recognized. According to the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves intend to sign a contract renewal with Randall in the offseason, but the current goal of both sides is to focus on the playoffs. Randall proved himself, and their president Connery proved himself.

Many fans may not be familiar with this. The Nuggets won the championship in 23 years. Their winning lineup was created by Connery. After getting him, the Timberwolves reached the Western Conference Finals last season. While saving money for the team, they also have the ability to win the championship. They have to praise Connery for his operational ability and talent selection vision. His vision is really unique. There are probably many teams interested in him this summer. Can the Wolves keep him?
