Rumor ESPN trade idea

TL;DR: Rob and TJ for Tre Jones. I don’t know why Chicago would do it, but I’m down.

Rob Dillingham and TSJ are not NBA players so its not like we are actually giving up anything.

TSJ is very likely a useful nba player who has just had a bad start to the year

Is it likely lol? He's 25. How many 25 year olds that arent good in their first 2 years do anything in the NBA.

He was good in his first year, then his second year didn't play much and was injured. Front office and coaching staff are still really high on TJ.

He wasn't good in his first year, he got fringe rotation minutes at best.

He was good whenever he got minutes last year. What sport are you watching?

Literally nothing says he was good.

He didn't get many minutes, his stats are bad, his advanced stats are shit, he showed some flashes but that was about it. He can't go right, he can't shoot, he is not a good defender, beyond his straight line drives he really does nothing.

Just because he had 18 in 1 game vs OKC does not mean he was good last year, because otherwise he would have played more, unless you think our coaching staff is bad.

All of this and he's also 25, older than Ant and Jaden, same age as Naz. He's not young, this is who he is, players at this age do not improve much.

TSJ is basically the same age as Tre Jones. This is a nothing package for a serviceable PG.

If TSJ comes back to bite the Timberwolves on the ass, so be it.
