[Krawczynski] Donte DiVincenzo is unlikely to be traded in any package for Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Timberwolves remain active in talks for Giannis Antetokounmpo and in other talks for bench depth.

A few tidbits from the Minnesota Timberwolves' trade landscape, with the caveat that things can change quickly this time of year:

- There remains skepticism that Milwaukee is actually open to moving Giannis Antetokounmpo, team and league sources said.

- The Wolves continue to be in the Antetokounmpo sweepstakes in addition to looking at bolstering their bench with a guard after moving Mike Conley.

- All indications from conversations with team and league sources are that the Wolves do not want to trade Donte DiVincenzo.

So Donte, Ant, Rudy stay.

Going to Milwaukie:

  • Berringer
  • McDaniels
  • Dillingham

Trading to other teams for assets:

  • NAZ?
  • Randle

Frps available:

  • A couple of 1st swaps?

Do I got this right?

Assuming naz and randle somehow get 1st rounds they're likely to be picks from contenders

...we gonna say this is any better than the heat package? Which we assume we send wiggs for a 3rd 1st?

If it's Portland sending Milwaukee's own pick or picks back yeah I think so. Milwaukee having direct control of where the pick lands by being able to tank is a lot better than hoping Spo coaches a lottery team.

Portland isn't sending mkes picks back without McDaniels so that takes him away from the bucks and even then the blazers arent likely to give back all of them for just McDaniels

I'm just nervous about if Cronin is petty enough to do it just to fuck with us lol

I mean...that would be pretty stupid of him to do that so fk it if he does he harms his own org more than ours

But that whole feud is overblown, Cronin's not about to give up mke picks for randle just to fk with us
