Butler and cp3 both have health issues.
I’d laugh hard if they were compelled to play harden and melo big mins in the playoffs after Butler and cp3 went down with injuries.
Imagine that locker room. Yikes

Carmelo 'Millstone' Anthony. They are not contending for anything.
edit
They may contend for the worst off-season acquisition.

So here is my breakdown of this trade.
For Minny:
- They want to dump Dieng while dumping Butler (3 years $16 per year)
- They don't want the salary from Knight (2 years $15 per year)
- They probably want PJ Tucker ($8 million per year bargain) or Eric Gordon (2 years $14 per year)
- In order to get the 4 picks, they probably have to take Knight
- They are willing to take Marquese Chriss
For Houston:
- They want to send out Knight to match most of Butler's salary
- They don't want to take back Dieng (3 years $16 per year)
- They don't want to send Gordon or Tucker
- They might not want to send out Chriss who gives them youth on an old team
NBA Rules:
- Knight and Chriss can't be traded until 10/31
What the trade will probably look like if it happens:
Jimmy Butler, and maybe 2nd rounders
for
Knight, Chriss, Houston 2019 1st, Houston 2021 1st, Houston 2023 Top 4 Protected 1st, Houston 2025 Top 4 Protected 1st

The first two picks will most likely be in the 24-30 range - the next two will most likely have some sort of protection associated with it. You can use them to trade down or bring in other assets; but at the end of the day Minnesota is giving up an all-star for several unknown quantities and asking their fan base to accept the franchise pressing the re-set button yet again (Teague, KAT and Wiggins is a .500 team at best).
If I'm Minnesota I want immediate return. I'd ask Houston to bring in a third team to make the salaries work.

If I'm Minnesota, I demand PJ Tucker and the 1st rounders. I think that guy is a perfect fit pretty much anywhere.

Not sure they are in a position to demand considering Butler's demand.
The Wolves arent doing the Houston deal.
