Most Underrated Off-Season Trade 令人低估的交易 With apologies to amnestying Darko Milicic, the most underrated move of the off-season was the trade of the 18th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft to the Houston Rockets for swingman Chase Budinger. While Budinger only played in 5 ? games before tearing the meniscus in his knee in Chicago on November 10, the swap of the unknown quantity of a mid-first round draft pick for a solid, above average NBA player on a cheap contract. Assuming Budinger returns by early March, his value down the stretch and in the playoffs will prove necessary, and hopefully the Wolves will be able to re-sign him during the off-season. 先對一粒好米說聲抱歉，去年灰狼以18順位交易走一個未知的東東， 換來一個便宜、美賣、平均以上等級的球員，如果他在三月就能提早回來， 那他的價值必要性就算到了季後賽也將會是不可或缺的一塊 ，希望球隊能在這個賽季末，他的合約結束時能再重新把他簽回。 The Other Most Underrated Off-Season Trade 另一個令人低估的交易 The Wayne Ellington-for-Dante Cunningham trade with the Memphis Grizzlies towards the end of the summer has proven to be even better than the consensus was at the time of the trade. What looked like a simple roster-balancing move has become vital to the team’s early season success. Throughout the uneven early season play of both Greg Stiemsma and Derrick Williams, Cunningham has been the one true, steady constant off the bench for the Wolves’ frontcourt. Throughout the games that Love has missed due to injury and illness, Cunningham has played with huge intensity on defense and surprising consistency on offense. Without him, Lou Amundson would be forced to play meaningful minutes, and nobody wants that. Cunningham與Ellington的交易，Cunnigham讓這個交易價值看來好像有些傾斜， Cunningham秀出了他的能力也幫助了球隊，儘管Love因傷休息，他也立即在防守與進攻端 都帶來令人驚奇的效益，要是沒有交易他來，Amundson可能會是接替的人， 雖然不差，但可能不會太有如此的績效。 --
