Depth in a rugged west, more wing creation/shooting, more time for Naz. I think Randle has equal chance to be a good player for Wolves if he accepts his role or of being a salary trade chip. Not that they can get huge value for him but even as a vet/expiring something can happen with some redirected 2nds

The timing annoys me, the season starts in like 3 weeks. Let’s hope they don’t take half a season to get chemistry re-figured out
We traded a guy who scored 20 points a night while getting paid 50 mil a year, for two dudes who combine for 40 points a night making less…. I’ll miss KAT, but I’m happy
Shouldn’t be a controversial take at all. People just love KAT as a person and I get it, he’s a great player and dude who gave his all to this franchise for 9 years. Strictly basketball wise however, it’s the best thing for sustaining a winning team for years to come
I think we are gonna be fine. I don’t know if we will be better but I don’t think we will be much worse for cheaper and a roadmap to a sustainable future. I’m just gonna miss KAT.
With the exception of OKC (who are still young and unproven in the playoffs) it feels like the other big threats in the West got weaker. Dallas lost one of their best defenders and now has a washed Klay Thompson with their offense still heavily reliant on Luka and Kyrie (who is turning 33), Denver lost some key players and got a washed Russell Westbrook… maybe the West won’t be as strong as perceived this upcoming season? Seems like Wolves just got more fire power and depth.
My only issue with the trade is how bad is Randle’s shoulder issue gonna be?

Why do you expect us to trade Randle? We most likely got him to let his contract expire
Ditto. Donte might honestly flirt with all star status in a few years with increased usage.
If he starts this year he could put up like 18 points per game.
He’s basically a better shooting Derek White.
