You forgot the part where you then analyze performance and see just how much credit/blame each player holds.

I doubt you're going to trade him for that easily. Better than him starts to creep into "star" territory.
Against the Wolves he averaged 10.7 ppg with a TS of 49.5%.

Not sure about Bogdan, he doesn't fit with Jokic on the serb team. Whenever I see Serbia it is Bogdan running the offense and trying to be the man.
Bogdan is a good player and defender, but I think he'd fit better with someone like Luka.

Plainly, the Timberwolves out-Nugget the Nuggets.
The Nuggets won the 2023 championship due to Joker’s all-around brilliance & Murray’s clutch shooting and their ability to overwhelm teams with their size. But the Timberwolves was their mirror image because both teams were built by the same guy, Tim Connelly, with the same basketball philosophy that values size and physicality.
So the Timberwolves used their size to dominate the paint and wear down both Jokic and Murray.
We will see how far Edwards and the Wolves advance not just this year, but for the next few years. Either this will be a flukey Conference Finals like the Atlanta Hawks and the Trailblazers or a sustained run of excellence. At least the aforementioned teams were led by a small guard (Trey Young and Damon Lillard) who were adverse to defense. Whereas the Wolves are a defensive powerhouse stacked with excellent bigs and a tremendously talented midsize player. So that distinction should hit at how sustainable their success will be.
FWIW... The Nuggets may never make it back to the Finals. Why? Ant is on the rise. OKC Thunder is on the verge. The Mavericks & the Wolves are here to stay. And Wemby is already ahead of schedule. We saw a glimpse of the future Wemby when he led the Spurs to a comeback victory over the Nuggets in their season finale. That dropped the Nuggets to second seed. The Western Conference is already a bloodbath and will only get tougher.
