This final installment of Flip’s Moves looks at his trades during the 2014-15 season as well as the 2015 NBA Draft.

Trading Trey Burke during the 2013 draft has been a win so far, while last summer’s Kevin Love deal set the Wolves in the right direction as a franchise. Flip Saunder’s first two major decisions were the right ones for the Wolves, but how has he fared in his more recent decisions?

There are a number of moves to choose from as Saunders has been extremely busy over the past calendar year, especially in the trade department. The roster transformation seems to be mostly complete heading into 2015-16, so let’s take a look at the past several months and review the moves that Flip has made.
