I picked all 4. Again assuming we get fair compensation back / good coaching hire. Build the roster that can better compete with SA/OKC.
Julius. 99% he's gone. With how he basically quit in that last game, he wanted to leave and made sure of it. Wish him the best, he seems like a good dude and will play like a stud on the right Eastern team.
Finch. Good coach but are we getting the most out of our team? 6th seed and 1 playoff series win. Based on Wolves history thats great. But we have to have higher aspirations then just winning one playoff series and being a mediocre regular season team. Seems like a great guy and I think he did a solid job here.
Rudy. I only include him because he was poor against the top 2 teams we can't seem to beat and are not going anywhere. He'd be a stud on an Eastern team that doesn't have to contend with SA/OKC to make the finals. Need a 3 and D center.
Sorry to include DDV in here because I love his shooting, grit and hard play, but he's hurt and likely not helping us win any games next year. I'll include him in a trade to get back a healthy player or package for superstar.
I'm blowing it all up and saying bye to all 4. We'll see what happens.

Both Randle and Finch need to go.
Randle has been talked about ad nauseum.
Finch doesn't make adjustments. His lineups are questionable. His timing of calling timeouts is terrible. He has continuously refused to sprinkle in time for young players, instead running out his old comfortable vets. And in this last game, he watched Randle quit on the court over and over, and kept putting him out there.
I'm cooling on TC too. That Dillingham deal was a serious misstep.

Julius Randle for me. I believe that even if we traded him for nothing we would be a better team. Removing him instantly helps team chemistry, morale and defense.

I chose just Julius. But I would include Donte if needed for salary filler.

Ha, so in other words you built the poll to fit exactly what you'd do (i.e. all four). That's one way to do it!

Left an other or none of the above option, but yeah. I kind of feel like these are guys we are talking about, would like to see some stats.

Julius and Rudy for me. We need real change this offseason and have to reinvent ourselves if we want to be relative going forward.

I am fine keeping Gobert for one more season if say.... we got a player like Kawhi via trade (not likely but just an example). Someone who can actually shoot and help spread the floor better than Dubious does.
If Hornets offered: Green and Williams (both expirings that could be used in a multitude of transactional ways) and pick 18, would you to take that trade in a heartbeat? I would.

Yes, I do that trade in a heartbeat and figure stuff out later. Much easier to move some of those pieces than Julius's contract. The same can be said for WW's Claxton trade...
