But even outside of that, if Wiggins continues to improve they might not be looking to trade him. The Wolves might instead look to get him on a more reasonable contract and hope to see that incline gradually increase.

Luckily, Wiggins was missing games due to the flu and not an injury, so he should be back to top form in a matter of weeks. If that form is what we saw through the first five games or so, the Timberwolves could look to go on another great run like the one they had to start the season.
