That should be a nice 1-2 combo for years to come. Hopefully DAR can unpack his bags for once.

If in fact the protected 2021 pick carries over to 2022 and becomes unprotected then, I don't see this as some huge victory for the T Wolves unless Wiggins is much worse than his stats suggest or is unlikely to stick with GS (I don't follow closely enough to know the contract side of the deal).

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
NBA Winners and Losers: Timberwolves get their man; 76ers continue to spiral; Andre Iguodala finds a new home
Winner: D'Angelo Russell
Make this four teams in five years for D'Angelo Russell. From Los Angeles, to Brooklyn, then Golden State, and finally Minnesota. The 23-year-old All-Star point guard now finally appears to be on a team that values him as a focal point for the long-term future.
The Timberwolves finally ended their Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins experiment, opting to ship Wiggins to the Bay Area for Russell and in the process creating a better fit for both players and both teams.
Now, Russell has yet to make his debut for Minnesota, but a point guard with the ball-handling and scoring skills that Russell possesses in the pick-and-roll is the perfect complement to a big man of Towns' ability.
Not to mention the fact that Russell and Towns are notably very close friends. Towns made sure he was the first person to greet his buddy when he landed in Minnesota from the Bay Area for the first time.
That is wholesome content.
Nearly all of the comments made from Russell since becoming a member of the Timberwolves have revolved around comfortability and feeling like home. This comes from a kid who was initially drafted second overall in 2015. Traded to Brooklyn after two seasons amid a narrative that he was difficult to deal with. Rejuvenated his career under the likes of Kenny Atkinson's system with the Nets, where he made an All-Star team and the playoffs in Brooklyn. All to be moved on from once again when Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant decided the Nets would be the franchise to house their superteam dreams. All to land on a team that already had two All-NBA guards in Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, making it feel like he was operating on borrowed time with Golden State the moment he arrived.
That's a lot for a 23-year-old player to take in at the start of his career.
Minnesota is embracing Russell the way no other team has in his career, and given the fact they moved on from former No. 1 overall pick, Wiggins, for him is yet another vote of confidence.
So here's to D'Lo finally finding a long-term home.

I'm a Warriors fan. I wanted to like him on my team but I couldn't really get to it. And he's pretty good, obviously. I'm happy he's good. But he's not my kind of player to watch. Plays really slow. A lot of dribbling, a lot of contested jumpers. He's like a poor man's James Harden, who is the worst.

No basketball in March still feels wrong, so here's something to get you through.
D'Angelo Russell was almost so damn good during his one season at Ohio State that it almost seems unrealistic that he was part of that Buckeye team. But here is video proof.
