But can Angie cheat the Timberwolves? Not necessarily!
The amazing deal between Celtic and Timberwolves
In the summer of 2007, the Celtics were dissatisfied with the current situation of the team and pursued Garnett of the Timberwolves. The deal ended with the Celtics trading 7 for 1. The Timberwolves won Gomez, Gerald Green, Al Jefferson, Ratliffe, Telfer and the first-round draft pick in 2009 from the Celtics (the top three), and regained the additional first-round draft pick when Zerbi Yaque was traded to the Celtics in 2006. Timberwolves also received some cash compensation in this transaction.
Jefferson was young and capable.
Although everyone knows that the Celtics are the big winners in this transaction, Garnett helped the Green Shirts regain the championship in the second year. But in fact, the chips sent by the Celtics are not bad enough to help the Timberwolves rebuild. Al Jefferson was only 22 when he joined the Timberwolves. In the last season of the Celtics, Jefferson has been firmly in the main position of the Green Army, averaging 16 points, 1 1 rebounds. It can be said that he is definitely a potential stock in the league. Jefferson once got further growth after coming to the Timberwolves. However, the timberwolves management turned a blind eye to this and did not build a lineup for him. Three years later, Jefferson left Minnesota. Gerald Green was only 2 1 year old when he was traded to the Timberwolves, but he has already got the data of 10.4 points and 2.6 rebounds per game, which is also a very good result for his age. Then the Timberwolves traded him away after only one season.
Timberwolves missed Curry in the draft.
As for the Celtics' draft pick for the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves can obviously choose Curry with this logo, but only choose Flynn, who only played in the NBA for four seasons and then disappeared, and Curry has won two championships and two MVP trophies in the regular season. Timberwolves have always had a bad eye for the draft, not only missing Curry, but also always missing their top two players before and after signing the draft. Curry's disappearance is just one example.
10 years later, the timberwolves still missed the playoffs.
It can be said that in that big deal, the Timberwolves didn't catch a grain of food and never missed the playoffs, which also showed the incompetence of the team management. The timberwolves are also unlucky. Although their record is poor, they have never signed the first prize. It was not until 20 15 that they finally got the top draft. They chose Downs, which may be another important draft in the history of the Timberwolves after Garnett was selected by 1995. However, when Downs was selected, it was eight years since Garnett's 2007 deal. What is the concept of eight years? Celtic completed two important routes: winning the championship, disintegration and successful reconstruction. Although the Timberwolves chose Downs, they still didn't make the playoffs.
From this point of view, it is not Angie who deceives the timberwolves, but the timberwolves' own management. Even without Anji, I'm afraid the timberwolves can't do much in this decade.
