To finish as the 2nd worst team in a season that started with them having TWO #1 draft picks (in their prime, or close to it) might top all of them.
Considering where Gorgui Dieng and Robert Covington are today... more minutes for better teams... I'm thinking they're pretty happy about the trades.
All in a year where there's less value in tanking. Clearly Taylor ok'd this awesome plan.

The reality is that Towns is likely going to miss what 30-40 games...we all knew we were going to suck bad this year if that was the case. You want some good news? The organization upped the value of the biggest negative assets on the team in Wiggins and Dieng enough to move them for more valued players. That's not nothing. I bet Glen Taylor isn't happy about this season either but he may be paying a little in luxury tax for all these moves he could get a wispy hair of credit for that if you are feeling really generous. Lol

Ok. I change my take to...
The Wolves have given us A LOT of embarrassing moments over 31 years of NBA basketball.
To finish the season 1 - 18 in the final 19 games where KAT was healthy is about as damning an indictment we can have on either the Wolves foundational building block... or literally every other person involved in the organization.
It might actually be unprecedented in NBA history to go 1 - 19 in games where a former All NBA player in his prime participated. Then again, this organization is known for unprecedented levels of losing more than anything else.
