Can The Jazz Fix Wiggins?

Not gonna pretend that I know anything about Wiggins except what I read here and on Real GM, and opinions are overhemingly negative.Not sure how lack of passion, drive, motor etc. could be fixed, chances are that Wiggins could really piss off rest of the team with ''I got paid, so IDGAF'' attitude.
That said, if Jazz utterly fails during this offseason and Minnesota is willing to part away with two first round picks, maybe is worth considering....

How do we know he's a head case tho? It's not like he's a bad dude or gets in trouble. He just gets a lot of flack because he was the number 1 pick and has gotten worse 2 years in a row. Before that he looked really good. It also coincided with the Rubio trade and Thins getting more power.

He also has to play D in a bad system with KAT. Jazz culture could turn him around. The Jazz did make Rubio a better player, if only marginally. If the Jazz could do the same to Wiggins it'd be a huge win
 
Wiggins, RoCo, and their 2020 1st for

Favors, Exum, and Korver (who’s going to retire anyway)

That I do.

I then try to flip our 1st this year for someone else’s next so that we have three 1sts in 2020.

Mitchell
Wiggins-Allen
Ingles-O’Neale
RoCo-Crowder
Gobert

Then we fill in the gaps with cap room/MLE.
 
And tbh I’d prefer Wiggins as instant offense off the bench and Royce starting but whatevs.
 
I think it is easy to talk yourself into Wiggins as a reclamation project because of how much upside there is a how little downside. For example, he is obviously talented and by all accounts is a good guy who doesn't cause waves in the locker room. Also, he has been very healthy and durable (he is one of the tops minutes played over the last several years). His teams have always been better with him on the floor. Hasn't ever been in a stable and positive environment (4 coaches in 5 years, Thibbs, Jimmy B Drama, etc.). The down side is just that you tied up your cap, but if there aren't any good options this year or next, then you aren't really giving anything up.

There are other players I want, but he wouldn't be a crazy "Plan M". I would definitely prefer Wiggins to running back the this year's team with just a few minor tweeks.
 
If we got him then I'd assume that it was because Quin and DL felt confident they could implement him into the offense and make him give a **** about basketball.

So I'd be all for it.

But I don't think we will get him, so I will assume the opposite.

He has all the talent in the world though, and definitely fill some holes for us, in theory.
 
I just think its a another bad pairing with Donovan trying to work out his own efficiency issues. What we need is more stability on offense. Wiggins is too boom or bust on a nightly basis.

I wish we could do that trade. I hope DL ghosts on here. I checked their contracts and Gibson is a FA. In the event they want to keep Covington Wolves have Saric also. Getting Saric likely isn't a possibility but it would be awesome.
