You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

Not sure on the order these things would need to happen in, but:

-Trade for Conley, moving max salary basically: Favors/Exum/Korver/Allen/Bradley/#23
-Renounce our FA and waive Neto, opens up ~20M cap space total
-Sign a guard and a PF to approximately 3/30M deals (my ideal would be Beverly/Thad Young, but there are other reasonable options, heck maybe Rubio would consider returning off the bench, continuity is nice). Get team options on year 3 if possible.
-Use the room MLE (I think a bit below 5M) on a backup C, plenty of options there, say Robin Lopez? (I wonder how much Looney will get, doubt he'll move for that money, but it's nice to dream)

Ideally wind up with:

Conley/Beverley
Mitchell/O'Neale
Ingles/Crowder
Young/Niang
Gobert/Lopez

Fill out the roster with minimums (could bring back Neto/Thabo/Udoh if they'd be willing? as I said continuity is nice) and our 2nd.

Not sure we'd be favorites, but that is a tough tough team.

Lopez and Beverley aren't coming off anybody's bench.

Beverley I could see being a tough sell (I mentioned there could be other options there for guards). And I think you're thinking of the wrong Lopez brother. Robin just spent half the season coming off Chicago's bench.

Somebody like Cory Joseph might be the more realistic PG bench guy.
 
If we got Ilyasova and #30 for nothing, I think we gotta consider it. For all those people pining over Mirotic, Ilyasova played ahead of him in the playoffs. He is also only making $7 million next year and is nonguaranteed for 2020-21.

If we get in the market for Harris, we are a simple Korver waive and stretch away from max space. We could still sign Russell if we have Ilyasova.

If we are honest with ourselves, Ilyasova is the kind of player we end up signing if we strike out in big boy free agency. If we like someone at #30, might as well get a rotation player for free too. All comes down to how much we like somebody at #30.

Give this like 60 seconds worth of consideration. Reportedly, the T'wolves are "aggressively" shopping Wiggins. I think he's got 3 more years left on his deal. Yes, he's overpaid, but what if Minnesota attached this year's lottery pick (11) and another FRP.

Here's the thing, I think Wiggins can play at the 4. I know he's been disappointing relative to expectations, but I think he's basically Harrison Barnes (with a little more bounce). If he were given a clear role and could stay in his lane, he might be able to contribute. Plus, we'd get to draft in the lottery, something that's not going to happen in the foreseeable future.

Probably, we don't want to do it, but it's out there.

Assuming 11 and Wiggins for Favors, Exum, and 23? I'd... consider that actually.
 
Strong no on Wiggins, dude that scrawny isn't playing the 4 effectively, and that salary would kneecap us for the foreseeable future. #11 isn't all that interesting of place to be in this draft to me.

I'd just sign Caruso to a minimum contract. I think we should do that no matter what else we do though.
