In fact, as we all know, the Warriors made a big deal with the Timberwolves, involving three teams, and finally Russell and Wiggins changed their owners. Now Downs and Russell have teamed up. These two people have actually known each other since childhood and have always had a good relationship, so in a sense, these two people are also playing brother basketball now. But I personally think that the Timberwolves will not play better than before if they only rely on Downs and Russell.

In fact, the current Timberwolves simply replaced Wiggins with Russell, which is not enough to make the Timberwolves go further. First of all, let me talk about the player Wiggins. Wiggins 16 entered the NBA. At that time, many people had high hopes for him, but after so many years, he still didn't play. First of all, we have to admit that this player is very strong, but his playing style is better? Healthy? Yes, so in the end, the team couldn't bear it and chose direct trading.

Russell is actually a very good player, and his scoring ability is similar to Wiggins', but the defense of these two players is actually very poor. So this is actually doomed. Timberwolves can't go far, because in the current league, any super-strong team is very well defended, which means that if you want to win, you must start with defense.

In fact, I personally think that for the current Timberwolves, if they want to completely change, they need to rebuild, including Downs in the team. I think trading is also possible. However, it is obvious that the top management of the current team does not want to do this, and the top management of the current forest basketball team thinks that Downs is the core of their team building in the next few years. Of course, I think this approach is risky, but it may be the most suitable for the next four years.
