There’s been a lot talk about the team’s recent trade, and really, it’s not a shock. It’s been speculated for months and now the local and national media is getting their chance to weigh in on the matter.
While the Cleveland Cavaliers may have acquired the best player (for now) in the trade, most experts seem to agree that Flips Saunders and the Wolves did pretty well for themselves considering the circumstances.
This wasn’t a trade where the Wolves got a boatload of future draft picks. They received the last two season’s No. 1 picks and a top-15 power forward in the NBA. That’s impressive. Let’s see what the experts had to say:
