2. Getting two role players
The Minnesota Timberwolves would be giving up a lot in this scenario. James Johnson, Jacob Evans, Jared Vanderbilt, and a high-second round pick is a lot to pay for two role players. Those role players though, could tremendously help Minnesota make a playoff push, though.
To start, Thad Young is a 13-year NBA veteran that brings value as both a defender and offensive player. As a floor spacer, Young begun his carrer as a non-factor, only taking 0.3 long-distance shots per game. For the Bulls this past season, almost 40-percent of his shots were from the 3-point line, and he hit 36-percent of those attempts. Young has also averaged at least one steal in each of his 13 seasons, and this past year with Chicago, he earned over two defensive win shares.
Tomas Satoransky is a younger player (in terms of NBA years) that brings a lot of playmaking ability. He averaged ten points and five assists this past year for Chicago and is a career 37-percent 3-point shooter. Defensively, Satoransky has grown through his time in the NBA, improving his steal-percentage, defensive win-shares almost every single year of his career.
The Timberwolves essentially giving up Evans and Vanderbilt (along with the 33rd pick) for two players that can help the team win now is an incredible value and should be looked at should the Bulls end up selling assets on their roster.
