Report: Isaiah Thomas injury could void Kyrie Irving trade
If this trade gets voided I think teams jump at this opportunity
It doesn't seem like the Timberwolves owner wants to give Wiggins a max deal. I wonder what it would take for us to get him. Should be less than what it'd take to Kyrie right? Wiggins isn't a great defender but he would provide the scoring we need.
That's not bad I think if we stand pat our starting lineup will be Vucevic, Gordon, Simmons, Fournier, and Payton. I think this lineup gives you the most balance offense/defense wise.
If so then I probably wouldn't do it. I'd say offer Payton, Fournier, Biyombo, Hezonja, and the Thunder's first rounder we acquired. If they don't take it then move on.
So right now we're looking at a depth chart of:
PG: Payton, Mack, Augustin
SG: Fournier, Afflalo
SF: Ross, Simmons, Hezonja, Iwundu
PF: Gordon, Speights, Isaac
C: Vucevic, Biyombo, Birch
This is crazy
Who would you guys rather have; McCollum or Irving? I would take McCollum for two reasons! 1. He has less of a diva attitude to him and I wouldn't see him being as selfish as Kyrie on the court. 2. I think Irving would get back to missing games if he came here cause I think he'd be pushing to hard to shoulder the load. Irving has a history of missing games with nagging injuries.
Let's look who has the upper hand:
Scoring: Equal
Shooting: Irving: Better three point shooter and would space the floor better
Defense: McCollum
Size: Equal
Health: McCollum
Age: Irving: 1 year younger
