On February 5, Beijing time, after experiencing the ups and downs of the past two months, the Warriors have now achieved a wave of 8 consecutive wins, and the record has reached 40 wins and 13 losses, continuing to chase the sun in the west. The Warriors are back in the ranks of the giants this year, and are naturally champions at the moment. However, there are actually great hidden dangers in the Warriors' internal line, the team is currently only left looney alone to support, when the teammates are not good, the Warriors are easily defeated by the opponent. The Warriors need to go all out to storm the championship by reinforcing the interior.
Therefore, the US media Fadeaway World (hereinafter referred to as FW) suggested that the Warriors should use the team's existing chips to make a 7-for-1 blockbuster deal before the trade deadline.
Warriors get: Towns
Timberwolves get: Poole, Wiseman, Cumminga, Moody, 2022 first-round picks (from warriors), 2022 picks (from raptors), 2025 first-round picks (from warriors)
At present, the warriors' most obvious problem is the lack of a big man inside the team, and trading Downs is one of the ways to solve this problem. The trading scheme given by the FW ensures that the trading chips are attractive to the Timberwolves. Towns is the biggest big guy in the league with the best shooting ability, averaging 24.3 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game while shooting 40.2 percent from three-point range. There is no doubt that Towns can help the Warriors through performance on the offensive end, giving the team more offensive tactical systems.
As far as the center position is concerned, Downs is very suitable for the Warriors and can play their best value. His arrival can allow the Warriors to form a situation on the court between Dream Green and four projection players, and give full play to Dream Green's organizational ability. At the same time, Curry can attract the attention of defenders and create excellent empty opportunities for Towns. The two can relieve each other's offensive pressure.
Knowing that Towns is currently only 26 years old, he deserves the Warriors' all-out pursuit of him. Imagine curry, Clay, Dream Green, Wiggins and Towns starting lineups are definitely a nightmare that no team in the league wants to face.
The Timberwolves, despite their stunning performances this season, have come to no. 7 in the West and seem to have reached the highest level they can reach. The team always needs to balance the relationship between Edwards, Towns and Russell, and trading Towns is a solution to the team's problems.
Wiseman has proven in his rookie season that he has crazy athleticism and shooting feel, but he needs more opportunities to grow, and obviously he won't have that chance in the Warriors. Cumminga has proven his dominance on the offensive end, he also has a very good finishing ability, and the defensive ability on the outside is constantly growing. It may also be a good choice for the two to grow up together with Edwards.
Poole could make another starter with the Timberwolves. When Clay returned, Poole was forced back on the bench, slightly burying his strength. At one point, he was the team's third scorer and had a very good performance on the field. As for Moody, he never had much playing time in the Warriors, and he evolved into a rotating 3D wing player at most in the team. The Warriors should trade while the above players are still valuable and cash in on the player's maximum role. Draft picks could ensure that the Timberwolves are further reinforced in the future.
The FW said the deal is very secure for the Timberwolves, who can straighten out Edwards and get a new generation of potential players to form a youth army. If everyone can grow up, they will become a terrible team, just like this year's Grizzlies, which will be the dark horses of the future of the league.
