Wolves Fantasy: Who Would You Take?

If you could add one player to the current Wolves roster on a long-term max contract, regardless of how realistic, who would it be? Pick one of the following:

Good poll Lip. I wouldn't have said this a few years ago but I would say Harden. But i was also seriously considering Lebron and Curry.

The end of this OKC-Hou game is exactly why I wouldn't take Westbrook.

I actually think I'd still pick LeBron despite his age. Think about what we need most right now?

- A big strong SF: Check
- A small ball PF: Check
- Veteran leadership: Quintuple Check
- Size and strength: Check
- Another ball handler: Check
- Defense: Check

LeBron will still be a good player 4 years from now and will increasingly play more and more PF.

42 shots tonight for Westbrook. That's just terrible.

I picked GF because he can do a little bit of everything and would solve some problems but I will say here Harden's game this year passing the basketball is really impressive. I remember him being talked about as a guy that could create for others when he was being drafted but obviously he has continued to take that to another level. I've always been high on his talent.

I really love the Greek Freak, but he doesn't belong on that list yet.

The Greak Freak was my outlier choice, Cool. I didn't vote for him, but he's an intriguing choice. I think he'd fit well on our current roster because of his multiple skill set and toughness as well as his age. I'd take him over Curry or Durant. I love Westbrook's toughness and competitiveness as well as his multiple skill set. I think he'd really inspire our young guys and make them better. But he wouldn't fill our need for 3-point shooting and tends to be pretty inefficient as a scorer compared to Harden. For me, it's between Harden and LeBron with Westbrook and GF runners up.

If it's a matter of adding one of these guys to our current roster as the question is posed in this thread, I think I'd lean slightly towards LeBron for the reasons given by Q. But if the question were posed as trading Wiggins for one of those players, I'd go with GF because of his age, all--around game, toughness and how well I think his game would complement Zach's.

I don't see why not even though he hasn't arrived...yet. Dude is 22 and is putting up insane numbers and we are talking long term here. Plug him in at SF or PF on the Wolves and it would be sweet. Leonard should be on the list he would've even more perfect to plug in here.

Whoops, forgot Leonard. I definitely should have included him on the list. He's another guy I'd trade Wiggins for. If only that were a possibility. :(
