NBA 2K19 MyGM: 30 Franchise-Saving Trades You Must Make

13. Minnesota Timberwolves

Anthony Davis NBA 2K19
2K Sports

Players Out (position, rating, contract value/length, age):

Andrew Wiggins (SF, 81, $146.54m/5, 23)

Players In (Oklahoma City Thunder):

Paul George (SF, 89, $99.02m/3, 28)

Why:

Jimmy Butler just requested a trade away from Minnesota in the real world, but 2K players will want to keep hold of their star shooting guard and shift Wiggins' enormous contract instead.

While this is an objectively horrendous deal for the Thunder, they'll consent to it in-game regardless. George is playing at a level Wiggins won't ever touch, and his arrival gives the Wolves another elite option to compliment Karl-Anthony Towns and Butler, making them immediate contenders in the west.
