With the trade deadline upon us, I’ve been thinking about one of the Wolves chief assets: The first round pick they hold from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
There has been a lot of talk about that pick, and as far as I can tell, most fans are very leery of moving it in most circumstances. This is understandable for several reasons: Nobody wants to trade it for a rental player who has an expiring contract, because the Wolves would struggle to re-sign someone truly valuable with the cap situation they are in and looking at going forward.
