My initial thoughts were: Is Dejounte Murray two first-round picks better than D'Angelo Russell? Is he even a good fit next to Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns? I have respect for Zach Lowe, but that hypothetical trade doesn't interest me much despite acknowledging that Murray is a highly-talented guard. If Minnesota was going to go that route, I'd rather them pry Shai Gilgeous-Alexander away from Oklahoma City.

We suck at rebounds and 8 rebounds per game out of your pg is pretty impressive. Excellent defender and distributor, the only real flaw would be his 3pt shooting so we would miss the one out of 10 games when DLo is hot. Shai is an excellent scorer, but is that what we need playing with Ant and Towns? Shai isn't a particularly strong passer or 3pt shooter. Shai takes a lot of tough horrible shots, but they do go in. If we traded for him and those tough shots aren't falling all of a sudden, Wolves fans would turn on him pretty quickly.

Yep it's good they are looking at these options. I think that Capela is a guy that the Wolves might be able to actually land.
