We’re either at (or near) the nadir of the NBA offseason. The biggest trades (well, maybe) are completed, free agents are mostly signed, and rookies are finding their way after June’s draft and first summer league.
But I think I can speak for everyone that even after the Gobert trade, I was still working the trade machine pretty heavily, even though the Wolves’ work was pretty clearly done.
Around that same time, Bill Simmons released his seasonal league-wide trade value list. Always a hot button topic in the season of speculation. In particular, Anthony Edwards was put under the microscope, given his salary, age, and obvious talent level.
