Andrew Wiggins Must be Traded ASAP vs. Benched

The time has come to move on from 

Andrew Wiggins. Enough is enough

Andrew Wiggins days are numbered receiving a paycheck for the privilege of playing professional basketball for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wiggins has by all measurable standards including the eye test, shown absolutely no evidence of improvement from last year. All of the hyped up "hard work" he's supposedly put into his game (as parrotted by  the Minnesota sportswriters) over the summer should have prepared him for the preseason; yet, he is alarmingly the exact same player and person as last year, just like the FIVE years prior. We've heard from the mainstream Minnesota sports media ad nauseum that Wiggins has worked harder on his game this summer than previous summers; and yet he's proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it was all fake news. The Timberwolves fanbase have been sold a bottle of snake oil with a big picture of Andrew Wiggins smile on it. True Wolves fans should be FURIOUS, for they've been deceived!!!

The best thing for Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas to do for the betterment of the organization is to trade Andrew Wiggins for anything at this point; and make the trade happen quickly and silently.

A Potential 3-Team Trade Involving Andrew Wiggins and Chris Paul

I recently posted a comment on one of the other Wolves blogs about a potential 3-team trade that would send Andrew Wiggins on his way. The trade would move Chris Paul from the Oklahoma City Thunder and bring back Tim Hardaway Jr. from Dallas.

There have been rumors swirling around involving the Wolves and Minnesota being a landing spot for Paul. Let me be clear by saying that I really like Paul as a player but, I really DON'T like the idea of him playing for the Timberwolves. I don't see him being a good fit with the Wolves.

At the same time, I really DON'T like Andrew Wiggins and his work ethic (or lack thereof). I had held out hope for Wiggins turning into a star player but, I finally looked beyond all the negative stats that he has had with the team and am now of the opinion that Wiggins will never develop into the player so many of us fans had hoped he would. He may very well become a star in the NBA but, I am convinced it won't be in Minnesota.
