What if the Butler trade never happened? What if we had KAT, Zach, Andrew, and Ant all here right now? What if they were coached by Finch? Of course we will never know the answers to those questions, but it's fun to ponder. Congrats Wig, I couldn't be happier.
The "what if" game can get dangerous for Minnesota fans, but the Wolves are in a really good place right now and moving forward. We very likely wouldn't have Anthony Edwards, Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley, and Jaden McDaniels had the Jimmy Butler trade never happened. We're also objectively better with D'Angelo Russell than we were with Andrew Wiggins because of the different strengths and mentalities those two have, and their records next to Karl-Anthony Towns speak to this.
I'm happy that Andrew Wiggins can have this career achievement to celebrate -- even though he doesn't necessarily deserve it -- but Minnesota ended up in a really good situation without him.
