While the draft hasn't always been kind to the Wolves it is still the best way to find sustained success in this league. Giving picks away is not a good idea in my opinion.
I'm not sure who exactly you're referencing with that first comment, nor do I see how it relates to Minnesota's current situation, but the bigs that I've consistently named as targets for the Wolves won't, or shouldn't, cost much in terms of draft capital. I think I'd most like to see Minnesota acquire Alex Len and he won't be moved for anything more than a pair of second-round picks.
The available bigs with first-round price tags are Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner, Jakob Poeltl, etc. I'm less and less interested in making a move for that caliber of big for several reasons, which means that we probably agree at the end of the day. Minnesota shouldn't trade a first-round pick for a big... but for a quality guard or wing? That's up for debate, I think.
