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.
