2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

Teague was still efficient and the wolves have like no point guards... they should build around Towns and Teague was able to capitalize on the space he provides. Crabbe is shooting like 35% and 31% from three, is always hurt, and is an awful defender. There is something else to this one.

They need a PG? NWG for a first rounder.

I think either KAT or Wiggins is on the way out.

Our team right now is overly talented in the back court, and under talented in the front court. The best way to redistribute our talent is to trade Conley because there are multiple teams looking for an upgrade at PG. Here are three packages in exchange for Conley that I most like. I expect if the front office made these offers at least one would be accepted (and we could probably get back some draft compensation as well). Each of the trades work salary wise. They are ranked in my order of preference.

1) Wolves: Gorgui Dieng, Robert Covington - Both improve defense while fitting in the spread offense (not sharp shooters, but respectable). Dieng has a bad contract, but Covington is an asset.
Conley would provide Wolves a teadying influence on and off the court. His pick-n-pop with Towns would be awesome. Should appease Towns because would show they are trying to get him some help and would have a decent shot at making the playoffs this year.
Alternate: Cap wise, we could also take back Jeff Teague.

2) Magic: Aaron Gordon, DJ Augustin - Gordon would be great to have in a matchup against either LA teams. I worry about chemistry if he wanted a bigger role than is available this year but in the long term he could excel in our system.
Great thing about this trade is it helps both teams reallocate talent to have a more balanced front/backcourt. Conley would be a good fit with Vucevic.
Alternate: Cap wise, we could also take back Aminu if we wanted for the future (he is out this year).

3) Heat: Justise Winslow, Goran Dragic - Winslow is currently injured but should be ready before the trade deadline. His shooting is down this year, but I still like him a lot. Defensively he is great, and he has a lot of skills.

I've actually thought about that first one... I can't decide if RoCo is good. I'd want a first in that deal too if we did it. Conley would make a lot of sense for the Wolves. Dieng has played better in a starting role but I'm not sure he's some big upgrade as a backup... mild upgrade with a ****** contract. I could see the Wolves throwing in a first for Mike if that was the deal.

Teague being moved is not an indicator of that imo… maybe they are just bad at GMing… Maybe they just wanted to save a little money... this is a weird one.

Covington in some ways is like an older version of Royce... except 3 or 4 inches taller.

He gets a lot of deflections and he shoots worse... but more than Royce. I could see it working well, but he's not a lock down suffocating defender. He has been injury prone and I just remember him struggling in the playoffs. Like... he's useful for sure, but I'm not sure he's as good as 3 and D guys like Danny Green.

I agree. However, he would be a defensive upgrade at our weakest spot, PF.
edit: an added benefit of trading for him would be that he doesn't end up on the Lakers.

Teague was expiring... Wiggins is not a guy you build around... Teague fits with Wiggins and Towns better than Crabbe.

There might be some draft capital in the deal that changes it... Teague may have been done with them and wanted out... or they may have a follow up deal in the works.

Nah... Basically for every season Wiggins has posted better scoring stats with Teague off the floor and he was averaging career highs before Teague joined the team then his stats went rock bottom. Even the organization acknowledge the fact that teague is a ball hog who doesnt fit with Wiggins so they've been trying to get rid of him all season long.

I think he is definitely available and I think they are feeling pressure to have progress. I don't think they'd have a problem adding a pick to a deal... Not sure KAT would be happy about trading RoCo for expirings and draft capital.
