Why I think this trade works.

Hornets - I think this trade will get the hornets rebuild off to a fantastic start.

Adding Jamal Murray will give Mitch Kupchak a young building block to build around.

Dejounte Murray and Juan Hernangomez will also be nice young pieces for the now rebuilding hornets

While having to absorb the bad contract of Gorgui Dieng will hurt, the young array of talent they recieve plus the 1st round pick will make it worth the Hornet's while.

T'Wolves - This officially places the Wolves in contention for an NBA championship.

Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler will be the best wing duo in the NBA.

Kemba Walker also gives the Wolves more stability at Point Guard.

While taking in Kenneth Faried and Matthew Dellevadova's bad contracts will hurt, they are defensive minded and hustle players who will have roles in Thib's system.

Spurs - A nice and short rebuild

While giving up Kawhi will hurt, there were rumors about him leaving anyway after his contract.

If Poppovich can make Kawhi a star (a player coming out of college who was seen as a defensive player and very limited offensively), imagine what he could make Andrew Wiggins (a player who was the #1 pick and has superstar potential)

Also, Trey Lyles, Justin Patton, and Tyus Jones are young pieces who can be apart of SAS's future

Nuggets - This completes the picture

- Receiving Jeff Teague may finally complete the picture. Even though Jamal Murray has more potential, Jeff Teague is a true point guard, and he will be able to conduct the offense more efficiently.

Also, Malik Monk is still an interesting prospect. CHA used him wrong and he fell out of the good graces of Steve Clifford. Maybe Mike Malone can unlock his potential and Monk can become the replacement for the current free agent Will Barton or become a key contributor off the bench.

Bucks - Improving the bench for a small price

This trade is a steal for the Bucks in my opinion. While Mills may be a little overpaid, he will surely be an upgrade over Matthew Dellevadova. Also, Mills is capable of running an offense (Ex: The Spurs system), so he could be slotted in the starting Point Guard role or backup Malcolm Brogdon.

Acquiring Mills also relieves the pressure for Milwaukee to re-sign Eric Bledsoe, who, in my opinion, was seen as a failure in his time in Milwaukee.

Good effort but it won't happen.

This is basically one year try for Minnesota. Both Butler and Kawhi are likely to opt out and Walker will be a FA after the year.

Twolves receive the two best players in the entire mega deal. They get way too much in this deal.

@ jtubbs33, Just a fyi. Milwaukee has a PG backup in B Jennings, Plus why would they want to move Brown? he has played well enough to stay. I wouldn't call the trade a steal for Milwaukee, rather a Why? If the Bucks want a PG, there are others to consider who are better than P. Mills. As far as Bledsoe a failure, 18.6 PPG, 4.3 RPG, and 6.3 APG isn't exactly a failure. Its his first year with Milwaukee, Why not at the very least, Give Bledsoe a full year, Then go from there? Like Dellavedova, Mills is overpaid, But, Dellavedova is a better defender than Mills, without a doubt! The Bucks currently have 10 guards, No really big need to move any of them, Unless its for a Big, Rebounding, Center!

I think kawhi (and dejounte murrary) are worth more than that even considering kawhi's contract length and his seemingly desire to switch teams. Also, if I was the nuggets, I'd pass on this too. Murray > Teague.
