What Would It Have Taken To Get Kyrie Here?

We all know that Kyrie Irving named the Wolves as one of a few teams he wanted to play for. Obviously, he's thriving and likely happy in Boston right now. And we don't know whether Thibs made any effort to get him. Would Wiggins straight up have been enough? Probably not, but who knows. How about Wiggins and Tyus? Or Wiggins, Tyus and Gorgui?
I think Wiggins, Tyus and Gorgui might have been enough, but I doubt it. If we still had Ricky at the time, I suspect we could have had Kyrie and Shumpert in exchange for Wiggins, Ricky and Gorgui. We might have had to include a furniture 2nd round pick. Who on this board would have done that deal? Who thinks Thibs would have been willing to do that deal?
One thing for sure. The Wolves would be a lot better than we are currently if Thibs had done that deal. Imagine a starting lineup of Kyrie, Butler, KAT, Gibson and Shumpert.
