We began hearing about the Wolves working to move up in the draft a week or two before June 20th. Those rumors proved true when the Wolves finally traded Dario Saric to Phoenix to move up five spots to number six a few hours before the draft.
I don’t think we’ve talked enough about the loss of Saric, and it’s reasonable to ask whether it was worth the cost.
