If they make The Finals, then it's absolutely not an overpay; actually, I'd consider it an amazing trade.
The Timberwolves have never gotten that far and I don't believe they really had contending expectations, recently.
Even if they make the Western Conference Finals, then the trade was worth it. I feel you have to factor the franchise's history into this. The decade-plus of 'Spooky Wolves' discussion disappointed every single year.
If they finally get over that hump and appear to be a significant challenger come Playoff-time, then I firmly believe the trade should be considered well worth the price.
The other thing the trade does is put our young core in a winning environment every year. Look at what's happening with Cunningham and Green. They have been in losing cultures for the first years of their careers and developed some real bad habits. Tatum and brown came up in a winning culture and have developed better because of it
Wish Wiseman, Kuminga, and Moody got that message...
Warriors has been bad at drafting and developing since they had their 1st title. lol
