Martin and Rudez aren't positive assets, and Conley is clearly better then Rubio. Mem doesn't do it with a gun to their head

What's the risk there? It's basically a Rubio for Conley trade. I do that trade every day of the week twice on Sundays.
Conley can leave at the end of the year and the wolves end up getting no value out of rubio or kmart

If Conley leaves at the end of the year I think they might. If the grizzlies max out Conley (what it would take) that is there team and that is not good enough to win a championship

Well Martin has no value, and you make that trade with the mind set that you'll do whatever it takes to get Conley resigned. They would have plenty of money freed up from Ricky and Martin to do so .

Kmart has no value, Rubio's value is plummeting with each passing day

His shot was going down tonight, which yes, made him the best player on the floor. I'd love it if someday we could say he's the best player on the floor when his shot isn't falling, but I'm not sure that will ever be the case with him. He's not a "do shit" kind of player. He had 2 rebounds and 1 assist tonight, plus some lapses defensively.
If he's not scoring efficiently, he's not really helping much.

I have to disagree here. Wiggins efficiency could improve no question. But to say that he isnt helping when he is not scoring efficiently is not true. We are a better and more competitive team with wiggins playing. He is the only guy worth doubling for the opposing team.

He's like the only person who can score in the 4th quarter. If he doesn't go for 30 it's usually means the Wolves got blown out

Yeah its really hard for me to get down on Wiggins when he's really the only offensive threat not name KAT .

How does he only get 1 assist tonight? Towns got 3 and he's not getting nearly as many touches. I agree that Wiggins commands a lot of attention defensively, which is a good thing, but that doesn't tend to translate to easy buckets for other people. Harden had way more of an impact on the game because even though he didn't have the best shooting night, he was making plays for others left and right.
