See? Unlike Presti, who got assets for his salary dump guy, Minnesota had to give assets. Thank goodness Connelly wasn't our guy. I'd feel far less secure about the future.

Yeah, and you're right to give Presti some credit, but imo you're misplacing it (in this case) as "negotiating" when in reality it's more "the excess players on OKC's roster that need to bet removed are actually GOOD and not on terrible contracts." ATL wanted WIGGINS, not what they thought maybe they could get for helping OKC dispose of a mistake. Because he wasn't a mistake. DORT might be viewed as a mistake. MIGHT. Wiggins and Joe are likely viewed in many NBA circles as opportunities.
