The Wolves control exactly one of their first-rounders between now and 2032, are already in cap hell, aren’t a free agent destination, and the only important player currently on their team that may still be there in six years is Ant, which is far from a given itself.
Those assets could be outrageously attractive in the not-so-distant future. Things change very quickly in the NBA.

Why get draft picks if we aren’t going to use em or trade them … we’ve had these picks for a while now and nothing and I foresee nothing

NGL I was lurking over on the Timberwolves subreddit last night after the trade and somebody over there mentioned that this may cost them dearly in the future and someone replied to them saying that they can just trade for other draft picks later.
That is true! However you don’t just trade for a decent haul of draft picks unless you’re selling. The T-Wolves are already gonna have to do something about their cap situation and it’ll be tough for them to improve that roster anymore through trades with little to no draft capital.
How many times are we going to see a team mortgage all of their future draft capital to go all in right away then regret it later? The Nets are barely starting to recoup their losses after assembling a Durant, Harden, and Kyrie trio. The Suns are in deep shit with their current situation. Every Hawks fan regrets even just trading 2 1st rd picks and a pick swap for Dejounte. It’s the same thing over and over again. Yeah it may look good in the short run, but down that line there will be regret.

Brian Wright has a pretty good feel for this. Look at how much leverage we currently hold over Atlanta. Now go back and see what spurs fans were saying when we traded DJ for picks.

I feel like there’s an active effort by the usual suspects to gaslight the fanbase
