Trade machine approved
T Wolves - Hornets - Spurs - Bulls

TW get: Howard, Walker, Holiday

Walker, Jones
Holiday, Crawford
Butler, MKG
Towns, Bjelica
Howard, Gibson

Take a lot of salary in but it's win now anyways. I like Wiggins a lot but more defense is needed and he will probably do better somewhere else which is..

H get: Wiggins, Gasol, Mills, Murray,

Murray, Mills
Wiggins, Monk
Batum, Lamb
Williams, Kaminsky
Zeller, Hernangomez

I know Jordan said he wanted an all star for Kemba, Wiggins definitely could be and they get younger in the process. Building around Wiggins, Murray, Monk, Hernangomez and another first round pick isn't bad at all.

S get: Teague, Portis, Lopez, 2018 TW 2nd, 2018 H 2nd

Teague, Parker
Green, Ginobili, White
Leonard, Anderson
Portis, Gay, Bertans
Lopez

Trading in Murray, Mills, and Gasol for a pg upgrade, young pf who I feel would fit well, and a solid c plus a couple 2nds this year seems like a good haul to me.

B get: Dieng, Patton, Aldrich (waive), Spurs 2018 or 2019 1st

Dunn, Grant
Valentine,
2018 pick (Porter, Knox, Either Bridges)
Markkanen, Patton/Vonleh
Dieng, Patton/Felicio

The bulls best piece they trade away is Portis who will be asking for a big contract next year anyway. Lopez and holiday were just stopgaps but Dieng is still fairly young and Patton is the real prize he can be very good. Along with a 1st from the spurs this year or next I think it's fair for them as wel as all the times.

Hornets aren't getting a 1st my bad I switched it to go to the Bulls.

U got so excited to make a twolves superior, that you forgot Aldridge on spurs. Asik from Chicago who also get crapped in deal.

You're right I completely forgot about Aldridge and sail is irrelevant so doesn't matter that I left him off.

Spurs would definitely say no. If I see value in Murray, and his salary over Teague, someone else is going to. Gasol, and Mills, and a 1st to boot. Their return haul of Lopez, and Aldrich is not very alluring either.

I have too hard a time evaluating multi-team trades without a strict in/ out for each team, for me to decide whether they would do the deal. A couple things I like though:

1. Wiggins in CHA seems like a very nice fit. He's younger and pre-star, and the Hornets have the assets to get him. I also wonder if Jordan would embrace a guy like Wiggins, when he used to endorse the athletic Michael Finley when he was younger.

2. I also like Teague in SAS, simply because with his floater game, he reminds me a little of a younger Tony Parker, and I know Pops knows what to do with that type of point guard.

3. I also don't mind Dieng on the Bulls. He's not a perfect fit, but he'd certainly be a starter there, and he was #62 in RPM last year as a starter. Dieng is constantly developing, but he knows how to play with a star too, and I think that would help Markannen. Even if Dieng isn't the best rim protector, he does many things well.
