Couple of ideas for Covington to the Clippers.

trade 1:

Clippers get Covinton
Hornets get Wiggins, Shamet, Dieng, and Clippers 1st round pick
Timberwolves get MKG, Harkless, Biyombo, and Williams

trade 2:

Clippers get Covington
Cavaliers get Wiggins, Shamet, and Clippers 2020 1st round pick
Timberwolves get Harkless, Knight, and Henson

Basically Timberwolves use assets they get for Covington to move Wiggins. Clippers get Covington to improve the team. The Hornets or Cavs get a good young player and 1st round pick for taking Wiggins. And Timberwolves build around Towns with a fresh cap situation.

Also, keep in mind that Covington is extremely valuable to MIN. Offensively, he is a decent and willing three point shooter - even at 36%, he is one of the best on the team. He is needed for the system to work, and Rosas to evaluate his talent going forward.

Defensively, Covington is critical. We saw last month that the system works. When Towns was out, and Dieng was replacing him, the Wolves were 3rd in DRtg, and Covington was #1 inDRtg, even as a PF. The key to MIN Improving is Towns, and the key to Towns is defense, the reason MIN is so bad is that Towns doesn’t stay in system, and wants to pursue, leaving the team trying to cover for him, for Towns to improve, he needs a partner who he trusts and who makes good decisions. Covington is his best friend on the team, and I think if he was traded, KAT would never adopt Vanterpool’s defensive system,

nice trades if you're a Clippers fan. I don't think the Wolves management has this kind of love for Steve Ballmer though. maybe there's a side deal for a couple of billion on the QT. no way Minnesota does this deal.

I would prefer to see what the Wolves can do with Wiggins, once they get the right personnel to run their eventual systems.

Offensively, we saw at the beginning of the season how good Wiggins can be in a 5-out, he can easily beat his man, and then there is no opposition for him to get to the rim, to score or dish. However when opponents saw how bad MIN shoots (3rd in 3PA, last in 3P%), they just clogged the middle. With the right personnel next year that can shoot three’s, Wiggins can be better.

Defensively, Wiggins has taken a big step this year. His personal defensive coach is Vanterpool, and we all know how he took Lillard from a horrible defender to an OK one.

I think the Cavs would do that in a heart beat.

i don't why, but I think Covington is won best valued players based on talent as 2 way player 3-d and his contract. I value him bc of that over pillsbury dough boy at center. wow Embiid choked him out again. lmao.
